BEFORE BOND, CRAIG WAS MR. MARMITE

JAMES BOND DANIEL CRAIG earned his acting union card by playing Mr. Marmite in a Reading, England supermarket - and he's still a big fan of the British yeast extract spread.

The actor reveals he used to wear a "Marmite jumper" and surprise shoppers with his over-the-top upbeat take on the tangy black paste at the beginning of his acting career.

He says, "I was Mr. Marmite - that's how I got my equity card... At the Reading Save-a-Centre."

Craig still spreads Marmite on his toast in the morning when he's at home in London - especially the new brand, which features Guinness.

He adds, "It wakes you up, like, 'Welcome to the day! I've just put axle grease in my mouth."
