Daniel Craig wants to keep his clothes on for the next James Bond film. The hunky star - who showed off his toned physique in a pair of skin-tight blue swimming trunks in "Casino Royale" - has told producers he would rather impress audiences with his acting skills in his next outing as the suave spy.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Daniel was a little uncomfortable at the amount of nudity he had to do. He appreciated that a lot of it was to win over the female audience but it's not something he wants to make a habit of, no matter how good he looks in his trunks!"

Daniel, 39, also stripped off for shower scenes with on-screen love interest Eva Green. Filming for the next instalment in the hit spy series - "Bond 22" - is due to start next year. BAFTA-nominated Daniel is dating 31-year-old film producer, Satsuki Mitchell. He has a teenage daughter, Ella, from a previous relationship with actress Fiona Loudon.
