How Did He Get So Lean?
In the years that James Bond has been played by different actors none has come quite as close to showing the character with lean muscle as Daniel Craig has. With all the wit and gadgets it was a refreshing surprise to boost the franchise. His lean physique is part of the reason that Daniel Craig has been able to appeal to the 21st century audience even though millennial's are known to be a picky lot.
