Daniel Craig conquers his fear of heights

Daniel Craig has revealed that portraying the tough superspy has cured him of his morbid fear of heights - reports Click Liverpool.

Chester-born Daniel, 41, revealed that he was originally a quivering wreck at the thought of filming fight scenes on cranes and jumping off buildings.

Now Daniel has revealed that the stunts he was required to perform in filming Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace have finally cured his vertigo.

Daniel, who was educated at Hibre High School, West Kirkby, said the gruelling schedule of filming meant he simply had to conquer his demons.

He said: "I used to have a huge problem with heights before taking on Bond.

"But I have less of a problem with them now and I even look down.

"They always say don't look down, but what's the point of being up there if you don't look down?"

Daniel explained that the sequence in casino Royale in which he was perched on top of a crane was the scariest he'd ever done.

He said: "I was shaking and the thought of getting up there.

"It was a very long process and involved eight weeks of shooting - so there was no time for being afraid of heights. In the end I did as much as I could up there."
