14 DAY TRIAL // Daniel Craig got married earlier this year to Rachel Weisz, and the world didn't find out about it until it was over. He definitely knows a thing or two about privacy and the media, which is why he's so set against the likes of the Kardashians.
To promote his latest film, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” Craig sat down with GQ for a candid interview, AceShowbiz informs. As fans must know, he's not exactly the type that holds back from speaking his mind.
Daniel values his privacy more than anything and he knows for a fact that being a celebrity means being hounded by the paparazzi and “spies.”
At the same time, he doesn't approve of those who sell their personal lives to the media and them claim their privacy should be respected, just because the media is writing about something they don't like.
The example of the Kardashians, officially the most bankable family in reality television right now, particularly gets Craig fuming, even branding them “[expletive]-ing idiots.”
“I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel. It's not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it's gone,” the actor says, making a clear distinction between selling your personal life to the media and simply being honest about it in interviews.
“You can't buy it back – you can't buy your privacy back. Ooh I want to be alone. [Expletive] you. We've been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy?” Craig asks.
This is just what the Kardashians have been doing. Then, when Kim filed for divorce some weeks ago, they had the Audacity to ask for “privacy.”
“Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think ‘what, you mean all I have to do is behave like a [expletive]-ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions’,” he says.
“I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously,” Daniel adds.
He also talks a bit about marrying Weisz and why they didn't to have the news out before the secret marriage. In the same interview, Craig stresses that he's in love but not willing to go into the specifics of his personal life.
