Actor Daniel Craig has slammed criticism he has received since being named the new James Bond last year as "bullying".

The star admits the barrage of derogatory comments has been hurtful - but he's desperate to prove his critics wrong with a blistering performance in upcoming 007 movie Casin Royale.

He says: "Some of the stuff that's been said is as close to playground taunts as you're going to get. 'You've got big ears'!"

"But it's not right. Ask anyone who's been bullied… it hurts."
