Daniel Craig planning a big 40th birthday party

James Bond star Daniel Craig is planning a big 40th birthday party.

The actor will be halfway through filming 'Quantum of Solace', his second outing as the suave spy, when he reaches the landmark age on March 2 and he wants to celebrate it in style.

"I was a pain in the arse at 30. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I couldn't commit. Not much has changed," said Daniel.

"My 40th is in the middle of Bond but I'll celebrate it as best I can because I've got a feeling that 49 is going to come around really quickly."

Daniel, who famously showed off his toned physique in tight blue swimming trunks for 'Casino Royale', also ruled out ever going under the surgeon's knife.

He added to Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "If it starts to drop, it starts to drop. No one likes to get old and sag, but surgery, that's not right."

The hunky star recently revealed he enjoyed a "wild blow out" on food and drink after he finished filming 'Casino Royale'.

He joked: "I hadn't touched food I loved for seven months, so I was like, 'Right, I'm eating this and stuff you all.'

"I had never drunk vodka martinis in my life but f***ing hell, I drank bucket-loads of them when we finished."
