Daniel Craig: I'd rather be ignorant to hacking

Daniel Craig has no interest in finding out whether he was the victim of phone hacking.

Stars including Sienna Miller, Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan have all given evidence at the ongoing Leveson Inquiry in London, which is looking into claims several UK newspaper hacked into celebrities’ phones to obtain information.

Daniel has no idea if his privacy was ever compromised in such a way – something he is glad about.

“I don't know for sure. But I don't want to know it. Because what else would this information do apart from bother me? I'd rather not know it,” he told wz-newsline.de.

Daniel stars as Mikael Blomkvist in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is based on the book by Stieg Larsson.

The movie contains a lot of violence and sexual scenes, but Daniel didn’t find them hard to shoot. He is keen to point out how easy his job is compared to what some people do, and gets tired of actors claiming they have things hard.

“My job is simple I don't have go coal mining or anything,” he said. “I go to work and act and it is just so much fun! I'm allowed to do what I always wanted to do. I work with incredible intelligent and creative people. What's hard with that? Sure, [some] scenes [were] heavy but did I get hurt? Or do I wake up at night screaming? No.”
