Rhys Ifans has revealed that he would tease Daniel Craig on the set of Enduring Love as they prepared to shoot their on screen kiss.
The pair starred together in the big screen adaptation of the Ian McEwan novel back in 2004 and Ifans admits that he had to have a laugh with it to break the darkness and intensity of the movie.
Speaking to The Times the actor said: "To play him as some weird stalker wasn't good enough. I had to go somewhere that wasn't in Ian McEwan's novel.
"I had to be like an infatuated teenage girl, you know, with the big doe eyes and the playing with the hair, but very religious and very likeable, someone who is overly attentive to the old ladies in church."
"But that whole film was so dark that I had to have a laugh with it. I spent the whole shoot winding up Dan Craig saying, 'Only four days to go now, Dan darling, before our snogging scene'.
"Even now, after two Bonds, Dan still maintains that the hardest stunt he's ever done was getting to grips with my mouth."
Ifans will next been see on the big screen in Passion Play and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. He is currently filming Neverland, a movie for TV.
