IS Bond going soft? It has emerged that, during 007's next outing in Quantum of Solace, the masterspy beds just one beauty due to having his heart broken by an earlier romance.
Producer Michael Wilson claims the notoriously promiscuous secret agent - portrayed on screen by Craig - was so heartbroken by the death of his lover Vesper Lynd in previous movie Casino Royale he has lost interest in the opposite sex.Wilson said: "We felt that Bond could not immediately fall into another relationship. He is looking for a measure of comfort in his life."
However, Craig revealed Bond does get up close and personal with new Bond girl Gemma Arterton, explaining: "He has one relationship in this movie.
It's kind of a fling. It's mutually beneficial. I think both parties enjoy it."
Craig, 40, recently vowed to keep playing Bond until he is an old man.
He said: "Until my joints go I will keep going as Bond. I have no intention of giving up just yet."
Quantum of Solace'is due to hit cinemas worldwide in November.

This is similar to 1989's Licence To Kill, when James Bond went to bed with only one woman, Pam Bouvier. But this was on request of Timothy Dalton, who deemed that Bond having one lover in the film (the producers wanted Bond to sleep with Lupe Lamora as well) would make him more likable to audiences, who had grown weary of his philandering ways.
