Daniel Craig

007 Daniel Craig started off as Mr Marmite!

Daniel Craig might be James Bond today, but he started his career acting as Mr Marmite.

London, July 19 : Daniel Craig might be James Bond today, but he started his career acting as Mr Marmite.

Marmite is a British savoury spread with a distinctive, powerful taste that, as the company's marketing slogan puts, people can either "Love it or hate it".

Criag reveals that as a struggling wannabe he donned a silly outfit and handed out samples of the spread to shoppers at supermarket Sainsbury's in Reading.

And, it was this job that helped him get his Equity union card, which would-be actors need to get work.

"I was Mr Marmite, that's how I got my card. I wore a Marmite jumper at the Reading Savacentre. It's terrible," The Sun quoted Craig, as saying.

And though he's come a long way since being Mr Marmite, Craig admits that he's still addicted to the spread, and is definitely one of those people who 'love it'.

At 7.30 in the morning I find myself buttering toast with Marmite. Marmite is so great. It wakes you up," he revealed.

The actor will now be seen as the Brit agent once again in new 007 movie 'Bond 22', which is scheduled to hit theatres at the end of next year.
