DANIEL Craig has admitted he’d rather kill himself than take on yet another James Bond role.

In an interview for upcoming 007 film Spectre, Craig was asked whether he could imagine creating another Bond film.

“Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists ... I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on,” he told TimeOut.

After the outburst, Craig was asked if he was ready to drop the character for good, providing a more level-headed response.

“For at least a year or two, I just don’t want to think about it ... if I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money,” he said.

Craig also doesn’t care who takes up the Bond mantle after him but did have some choice words for whoever it might be.

“Don’t be sh*t! Go for it. Embrace it ... just make sure you’re great. You’ve got to push yourself as far as you can.

“It’s worth it, it’s James Bond.”
