www.theargus.co.uk/news/14508180.Bond_actor_Daniel_Craig_and_wife_Rachel_Weisz_spotted_in_Lewes/

He was there to be with his wife, but she was there for work!
shouldnt it have been 'Rachel Weisz and husband Daniel Craig' if they wanted to be specific?

The first lines of the article are (my bold):

NONE other than 007 himself has been spotted out and about in Lewes.

But rather than being on a job for Her Majesty's Secret Service, Daniel Craig was accompanying his wife Rachel Weisz who was on set for a new feature film.

So.. that would be a journo noticing James Bond is in town supporting his wife... yeah, really not on.

Your thread title on the other hand is shocking, such a nasty journalistic insinuation... though I am sure you had no intention of telling us that Daniel Craig is gay, hiding behind a marriage of convenience!

See.. everyone can make unthinking errors!

"I think he's played a part in modernising moneypenny and the Bond women"

Well then he might be back on my Christmas Card list then Bolingbroke Wink

She was famous before him

She may have been but it's his name which is better known now (although I have never actually seen him in anything). Many years ago I lived next door to an actor called Philip Madoc, who used to play Lloyd George in a television adaptation - some time afterwards his wife Ruth was in Hi-De-Hi and thereafter he was referred to in the St Albans equivalent of the Argus as her husband.

I don't get what the problem is the article named both of them. He is a much much bigger name than her and so from a selling headline point of view of course you are going to put the most famous name first. If she goes on in the future to do a massive film that the whole world has seen then no doubt the names would be reversed. Other than The Mummy films I couldn't tell you what else's she's been in. I did know that they were married though.

Yeah, for your G Spot! (Maplins is your friend!)

Bolingbroke he didn't then point out that MB was in the film for a 5 minute shag, then completely forgotten about, while he went on to shag his usual 20 year olds!I know it's not his fault, but Bond is still a load of sexist nonsense

On the point of actors having extremely young wives in films, I vaguely remember Sheila Hancock saying she had gone for a part as John Thaws wife, only to be told she was far too old, even though she was his actual wife!

And Leo DC is ageing badly and looks every bit his 40 something years!Grin

Rachel Weisz is equally famous. As an oscar winner she's also more successful (imo).
