Bond star Daniel Craig is famed for his smouldering good looks, but at the BAFTAs his frozen, puffy appearance caused us to wonder whether he’s losing his license to thrill
BLOATED, sweaty and a face tighter than a pair of Spandex pants – what has happened to Daniel Craig?
The James Bond actor’s appearance caused a stir when he presented the Best Film award at the Baftas on Sunday night.

Viewers sent Twitter into meltdown as they speculated whether he had gone under the knife.
The quips included: “That frozen face will endure minimal . . . Eyefall.”
Daniel’s famous sexy scowl that used to make me weak at the knees looks to have been ironed harder than my nan’s curtains. His looks, or lack of them, are a far cry from the stylish spy who stole my heart.
Remember when he climbed out of the sea with a licence to thrill in the opening scene of Casino Royale?

With his chiseled jaw, gym-honed abs and guns bigger than an AK-47, Daniel became an international sex bomb and my ultimate crush.
So after his first spy outing in 2006, has my favourite Bond lost the plot? Perhaps he was just having a bad night at the Baftas. Sadly not.
Earlier this month the 49-year-old was snapped celebrating with England’s rugby players in Rome after the win against Italy in their opening game of the Six Nations.

I don’t know what was less sexy — his greasy comb over, hamster cheeks or double denim dad outfit.
And let’s not forget when he posed for photos at the screening for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in New York with his belly hanging over his trousers.

He looked more David Brent than James Bond. Desperate for answers, I contacted Harley Street cosmetic doctor Dr David Jack to see if he could put his finger on it.
“His face looks swollen and unnatural,” he explains. “It could be a number of different things but the most obvious would be overdoing Botox and fillers.
“It looks as if he’s had a high dosage of Botox in his top and lower face as well as lots of fillers.
“When administering Botox for men, you have to be careful not to use too much.
“You don’t want to remove every line — because then you start to feminise the face, which can look weird. “Botox should just relax the features, not completely smooth them out.
“It’s the same with fillers. They should only be used to create volume where it has been lost.
“They shouldn’t be used to create features like cheekbones which weren’t there before.
“If this is behind Daniel’s swollen face, and not some kind of illness or facial reaction, then I’d suggest he lays off Botox and has a correctional treatment to dissolve the fillers.”

As the saying goes: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Perhaps he is trying to keep up with his beautiful wife, the actress Rachel Weisz, who seems to be blessed with unfading looks.
Rachel, 47, looks just as good as she did in her films 20 years ago.

Or maybe he is not enjoying filming his fifth Bond movie, which is due out in November 2019?
Before Daniel announced he had signed up for another film, there was speculation that he had hung up his tuxedo for good.
He had told a US chat show he would “rather slash (his) wrists” than play Bond again.
He came to regret saying this. But if Daniel now wants to make it to his sixth film, he will definitely need to shape up.

Whatever the reason, there is no excuse for Bond to have a double chin and bad dress sense.
Us superfans are relying on him to return to his former toned, sex-god self.

Daniel, I hope you don’t find my words harsh.
To me, you are the best Bond ever. But we want it to be more about The Man With The Golden Tum.
And there is plenty of time to turn it around.
