Daniel Craig comes down with case of `prickly heat` on location

28-Feb-2006 • Casino Royale

"Jinxed" James Bond star Daniel Craig has been hit by a nasty bout of prickly heat - reports The Sun.

He suffered sunburn while topping up his tan before filming in the Bahamas.

New 007 Craig wanted a healthy glow for the movie, but ended up James Burned — and now can’t stop itching.

A source on the Casino Royale set said: “It’s driving him mad. He constantly wants to scratch. It’s worst when he does a costume change. He is in agony.

“He has been moaning to his assistants that he’s got prickly heat. He is extremely wary of being outside now. But the nature of filming is such that he is out in the heat all day.”

Thanks to `Brinke` & `LicenceToKill` for the alert.
