CRAIG WILL NEVER EMULATE 'SCARY' DENIRO

DANIEL CRAIG is in awe of ROBERT DeNIRO's portrayal of bad guys in film - because he doesn't consider himself "capable" of playing such roles.
The actor stars in forthcoming James Bond film Quantum Of Solace - but even though he plays the tough spy, he admits he wouldn't contemplate starring as a "truly scary" character, such as DeNiro's part in 1990 gangster movie Goodfellas
Craig tells Parade.com, "There are people on this planet where you go, 'Oops, no, I don't even want to look that person in the eye.'
"And that real scariness is not something I'm capable of. That's something maybe Robert De Niro is capable of at his best. But that's not me."
And the actor is eager not to be typecast as Bond, insisting he is keen to spread his talent to encompass other aspects of the role.
He adds, "As tough a role as I have to play, I'm always just me. It's good to be in touch with as much of yourself as possible. Otherwise, you're a rather one-note performer. Who wants to be the tough guy and nothing else?"
