James Bond actor Daniel Craig has revealed he only attends gay bars on nights out.
The 53-year-old British actor, whose final Bond film No Time To Die premieres in Australia next month, sat down with his long-time friend Bruce Bozzi on SiriusXM's Lunch With Bruce podcast, where he revealed whygay bars are his venue of choice.
"I've been going to gay bars for as long as I can remember," he said. "One of the reasons [is] because I don't get into fights in gay bars that often.
"Because the aggressive d**k swinging in hetero bars, I just got very sick of it as a kid because it's like, I don't want to end up being in a punch-up. And I did. That would happen quite a lot."
Craig, who has been married to his wife Rachel Weisz since 2011, said he felt much safer in gay bars, adding it was also a lot easier to meet women.

"Everybody was chill … You didn't really have to state your sexuality, and it was a very safe place to be," Craig said.
"And I could meet girls there, because there are a lot of girls there for exactly the same reason I was there. It was kind of an ulterior motive."
Craig also touched on past speculation surrounding his sexuality when he was famously photographed hugging Bozzi outside a gay bar in Venice Beach in 2010.
He said he didn't "give a f**k" about the reports.

"We're tactile, we love each other, we give each other hugs, it's okay. We're two f**king grown men," Craig said to Bozzi on the podcast.
"For me, it was one of those situations and the irony is, you know, we kind of got caught, I suppose, which was kind of weird because we were doing nothing f**king wrong.
"What happened is we were having a nice night and I kind of was talking to you about my life when my life was changing and we got drunk and I was like, 'Oh, let's just go to a bar, come on, let's f**king go out.'"
