Craig To Be Honoured By Royal Marines

JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG is set to become a real-life 007 - he's to be made an honorary member of the British Royal Marines.

The movie hunk made his debut as Bond - an MI6 agent with a distinguished career in the Royal Navy - in 2006's Casino Royale.

And now Craig, 40, is being lined up to receive the prestigious Green Beret - if only he can find the time to complete and pass an endurance test.

A source at the Royal Marines training centre in Lympstone near Devon, England, says, "We were the ones who took Daniel to the press conference when he was revealed as the new James Bond.

"He was great - a really god guy - and he was very appreciative of our work. He supports the RNLI (Royal Navy Lifeboat Institution) and is very interested in the Royal Marine Commandos too.

"We're trying to get him down here to do one of the Commando tests so he can get his honorary Green Beret. It's just about trying to find the time. He's so busy."
