Craig attends Fool film premiere

Flashbacks of a Fool is released in the UK on Friday

James Bond actor Daniel Craig has attended the UK premiere of his latest movie Flashbacks of a Fool in London's Leicester Square.

The film, about a washed-up movie actor struggling to come to terms with his career coming to an end, was written with Craig in mind.

The star, who doubled up as executive producer, said all actors faced the prospect of becoming a has-been.

"It's part of the profession," the 40-year-old said.

"Who knows what the future holds for me," he added.

"It could turn on a six-pence as we all know it can, but I think the important thing is if you look after the people around you, the people who do genuinely care about you, then you'll survive anything."

'World famous'

Speaking about the role of Joe Scott, he said: "You are meeting the character when he was on the downslide. "He is at a stage when he could have had everything in his life but he has thrown it all away."

Claire Forlani, Keeley Hawes and Mark Strong also star in the film.

Strong said: "It's a film that we've been trying to get made for ages, and now Dan's world famous it really helped bring together the money.

"What we have now is a fantastic, beautiful British film."
