LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - James Bond may be ditching his vodka martini in favour of lager.
Daniel Craig - who debuts as the 007 agent in new Bond film 'Casino Royale' - may never utter the immortal lines "Vodka martini - shaken, not stirred" as film bosses have signed a deal with lager giants Heineken, according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper.
The 37-year-old actor has already confessed he doesn't even like 007's tipple, and mocked the famous line.
He said: "I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more."
Craig has proved unpopular with Bond fans, many of whom fear he will not live up to the suave, all-action character. Meanwhile, a new survey by sci-fi magazine SFX revealed that Sir Sean Connery is still the most popular 007.
The 75-year-old actor beat Pierce Brosnan, 53, into second place while 78-year-old Roger Moore was voted third.
SFX editor Dave Bradley said: "Connery is still the ultimate 007. New Bond Daniel Craig has very tough acts to follow."
The 3,000 voters also named 1964 film 'Goldfinger' - starring Sir Sean - as their favourite Bond movie.
'Casino Royale' will be released in November.
