Sam Mendes impressed with Daniel Craig's attitude

Sam Mendes marvelled at Daniel Craig's no-fuss, no-drama attitude on the set of the new Bond movie Skyfall as the star battled through scorching temperatures in Turkey in top-of-the-range suits.


The British actor shot train-top fight scenes with Ola Rapace in Istanbul and Adana - and his director couldn't believe how mild-mannered his star was as he struggled with the elements and the demands of shooting the latest 007 adventure.


Sam Mendes tells The Hollywood Reporter, "You are literally only getting one setup every four or five hours and having to work around the local train timetable, and it was 110 degrees.


"That's where Daniel's real heroism came in: He was on top of the train in a suit, attached by a wire... (He needed) something like 30 different versions of the same gray suit."
