Daniel Craig - Craig Hails New Generation Of Bond Girls

DANIEL CRAIG admires the latest batch of sexy Bond girls - because they are tough enough to put the suave spy in his place.

Brit newcomer Gemma Arterton and Ukrainian model turned actress Olga Kurylenko star in the latest installment of the film franchise, Quantum of Solace, which is due for release on October 31st.

And Craig loves the fact the new generation of Bond girls is not afraid to stand up to 007.

He says, "I think Bond is as misogynistic as he always was. But the difference is that we try to cast great actresses playing strong women who, if he misbehaves, will tell him to f**k off.

"Instead of it being a giggling girl in a bikini - and there's nothing wrong with giggling girls in bikinis, sometimes it's quite nice - there are women who challenge him."
