Daniel Craig jealous of his on-screen character's bed-hopping superpowers

Daniel Craig, who stars as Swedish journalist Mikael Blomkvist in his new flick 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', has admitted that he is in awe of the reporter's way with women.

The 43-year-old 'James Bond' star admits that he cannot help feeling jealous this time.

"I don't think he's a womaniser. I think he's honest. He meets a woman and they have a conversation, they admire his honesty and they usually end up in bed," the Sun quoted Craig as saying.

"That's never worked for me though," he added.

Movie bosses were so keen to have Craig play coffee-swilling Blomkvist that they re-arranged filming dates around his previous commitments to new Bond flick 'Skyfall'.

The heart-throb, who married British actress Rachel Weisz in June, was thrilled to nab the role.

Like tens of millions of others, Craig got instantly hooked on to the best-selling novel by Stieg Larsson on which the film is based.
