Craig owes daughter £200 for swearing

Bond star Daniel Craig is being hounded for £200 because he could not avoid swearing on the set of his new film The Golden Compass, IANS reports from London.

The 39-year old set up a swear box so that the cast and crew of the film would not use bad language in front of his 13-year-old daughter Dakota.

He said: “I didn’t think I’d be the one who’d have to cough up, but I just couldn’t help myself. The whole thing became a bit of a joke between Dakota and me. I wouldn’t realise I’d sworn until I heard someone shout, ‘That’s another pound!’ I think the pot ended up at around £200.” But Craig has still not paid the money.

“It should have been more than £200 and Daniel still owes me the money. He keeps saying to put it on his tab.

I’ll have to chase him up,” said his daughter.
