Daniel Craig - 007Daniel CraigPoor old Daniel Craig.

Knocking the new James Bond seems to have become something of a fashion.

The man who will make his 007 debut in the new Casino Royale film has received another ribbing - and this time it's because he's not very good at poker.

Daniel's Bond credentials have already come in for criticism because of revelations that he drives an automatic car and hates guns.

Now, according to The Sun, he's provoked more titters because producers had to fly in an expert to teach him to play cards.

An insider said: "Daniel could not play cards - it was so funny. It is a critical part of the film, where Bond shows how cool a customer he is.

So, it wasn't just Daniel then... but it hasn't stopped the mickey-taking.

The source continued: "Everyone at the hotel has been laughing about a Bond who can't play cards."

How mean.

We'll wait to see the man in action on the big screen before we comment on Dan's poker face.
