Bond actor off-topic quote round-up on boots and potatoes

23-Jan-2008 • Actor News

Two off-topic stories featuring quotes from James Bond actors are doing the tabloid rounds today, involving boots and potatoes.

Daniel Craig is obsessed with Converse boots...

Malaysia Sun: Unlike his James Bond character, who is always seen in sharp suits and smart shoes, Craig prefers dressing down in a pair of Converse boots. The Casino Royale star has admitted that he has a craze for the popular casual footwear, so much so that he has built up quite a sizeable collection of the shoes. "Put me in a pair of Converse All Star baseball boots and I'm happy. They're great for working out in; they make you run better. I have them in every colour and pattern imaginable. But just plain and simple cream ones will always be my favourite."

Pierce Brosnan loves potatoes...

EcoRazzi: When he isn’t shooting films, disputing water rights with the elderly, or fighting for the welfare of whales, actor Pierce Brosnan is at home enjoying a potato and keeping a green kitchen. He recently revealed his food cravings in the February 2008 issue of Bon Appetit saying, “Potatoes-baked, mashed, roasted and boiled, or fried with cold sliced tomatoes. I could eat them every night of the week. I can’t live without a good potato. And Irish soda bread, hot from the oven with lashings of butter.”
