Craig refused to dye hair for Bond

London: Actor Daniel Craig says he refused to dye his blonde hair for the Bond film Casino Royale.

Craig faced a lot of flak when he was chosen to play the super spy. Critics said he was too short and too plain looking to play Bond.

The actor agreed to undergo strenuous exercise to tone up but refused to change his hair colour.

"I was asked to dye my hair brown to play this role but it was out of question. I suggested instead that I could cut my hair really short to create a more brutal appearance," Craig was quoted as saying by contactmusic.com.
