On a personal note ~ This weeks Hump Day Hottie blew me away when I saw his performance in Casino Royale. I can't decide whether he looked better in his itty bitty swimsuit or his tuxedo.
Due to his visual magnificence I included 3 photos.
This weeks Hump Day Hottie is ~ Daniel Craig as James Bond 007

OH, YEAH!!!!
He was great in the movie, and he is HOT!
Excuse me while I catch my breath again. Awesome, awesome choice.
He really, really impressed me in "Casino Royale". I was skeptical, but he changed that right away.
I LOVED HIM in the tuxedo. That took my breath away. And just when I thought I could breathe again, he walks out of the ocean with his swimsuit.
Oh he was also in "Munich" which I rented after I saw "Casino Royale" for the first time. He's excellent in that too.
oh yes, YES, YES!!!!!
My GAWD is he sexy! the sexiest Bond yet!
Good call!
I've never been a big fan of all the Bond movies but I have to admit that Casino Royale was pretty awesome, and he was pretty badass as well.
Playtah ~ I know you heard me make a sound that was a mix between a moan and an Mmmmmmm when he came on screen the first time in his tuxedo and the "Oh my" when he came out in his itty bitty swim suit.
I want to watch that movie again just to admire the view.
Tara ~ I haven't seen Munich yet. I will have to rent it.
Ash ~ Is that a tyoed out Meg Ryan-esque orgasm that I see?
Eric ~ I saw some of the other Bond movies but they were much more campy and tounge in cheek than this one. This one was much better than those.
I never thought that anyone could be better than Sean Connery but I think that Daniel Craig is actually better.
I HAVE to go see that movie! Everyone has said it is amazing.
Yeah, I suppose he's ok.
If you go for that gorgeous-slab- of-beefcake type.
Excellent choice, Rachel. I've enjoyed his previous TV and film work, but as Bond I think he's really found his niche. Hopefully he'll be doing many more of those films. A guy who looks great, and can be both suave and menacing is fantastic for the role.
the UGLIEST man on the planet. I don't know a single woman who finds him attractive. He don't fit the part. Should have played the villain instead.
