(Cover) - EN Movies - Daniel Craig has reportedly been ordered to bulk up by Hollywood chiefs as they don't want a "skinny Bond".

The 43-year-old British actor famously portrays suave spy James Bond in the iconic movie franchise, with the next instalment in the series Bond 23 scheduled for release next year.

Daniel is also the star of sci-fi thriller Cowboys & Aliens, which hits cinemas internationally later this month, and for the role of Jake Lonergan he had to lose around 14 pounds. Now apparently movie executives are worried he will be looking too slender in the Bond movie.

"The last thing we want is a skinny Bond. We want him back looking as toned as he did in those swimming trunks in Casino Royale," a source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror.

"He bulked out originally for the role and we want him to do it again. He'll be pumping a lot of iron in the next few months."

Daniel is scheduled to begin filming the movie later this year. According to reports he will follow trainer Simon Waterson's "total body workout" to burn calories and speed up muscle growth. His diet will be low in carbohydrates and alcohol will only be permitted at weekends. (C) Cover Media
