From abs of steel to folds of flab - Blonde Bond Daniel Craig says he has let himself go since filming Casino Royale last year.
Speaking to journalists at the Cannes Film Festival, Craig said he had relaxed the strict training regimen he used to get in Adonis-like form for the last Bond film.
The star, who was also sporting a greying beard, told reporters: "I had some down time. I got to enjoy myself a bit."
But the 39-year-old actor said the change is only temporary.
"I'm getting back into shape now, I'm kind of building myself up again."
Craig was in Cannes to premiere his latest film, fantasy adventure The Golden Compass, which co-stars Nicole Kidman.
