As a long time Bond fan, this is painful on several levels.
Dozy parker
Daniel Craig is reportedly causing amusement in Hollywood – with his attempts to park his new car.
The James Bond star has bought one of the largest 4x4s on the road, reports the Sun.
But locals say he is struggling to learn to park the 2.5 tonne Cadillac Escalade against the kerb.
One resident was quoted as saying: “I’ve driven past it three times recently parked awkwardly – hanging off the pavement.
“It’s become a real talking point in Hollywood. Daniel has a reputation as a proper action man so it’s funny to think he’s struggling to park.”
Not only does the new Bond suck at parking, but he’s driving around in a Cadillac Escalade? While this isn’t quite as bad as when Bond is driving a Ford in Casino Royale (ugh), you’d think driving around an Aston Martin would have convinced him to get one of those instead.
I mean, an actor like that could really get any kind of badass sports car, or even a number of moderately awesome cars. But an Escalade? A massive, gas-guzzling, 2 and a half ton PoS? I’m sure it’s comfortable and makes you feel powerful, but come on Craig!
I guess we should’ve known that Bond doesn’t park SUVs very well, and if you’ve seen Casino Royale you know what I’m talking about. But it’s still a bad car and not something he should be trying to park with in the first place.
Although the fact that he does suck at parking does, in turn, suck. Sure Desmond Llewelyn (Q) couldn’t figure out gadgets or cars to save his life, but Bond needs to be at least capable of parking…
