Step into the well-heeled shoes of James Bond, and one can expect to acquire heightened status as a celebrity.

But that level of fame, "Skyfall" actor Daniel Craig tells Vanity Fair in its November issue, comes at a very personal price:

“You talk to people in the movie business who have been doing this 40 years, and they all say the difference is that, back in the day, you could go and have a drink in the bar, get drunk, fall over, have a good time, relax,whatever, and no one would know about it. But now everyone’s got a camera. Not that all I want to do is get drunk in a bar, but that’s an example. So you can’t live a normal life anymore. Because it will become public knowledge that you’ve whatever - gotten drunk in a bar or skinny-dipped on a beach or something. Things that normal people do occasionally. And in a way that’s kind of - I’ve got to be high-class. I’ve done a lot of things in my life. But you have to think in that way. Which is sad, because I like bars.”

Apparently Craig's fondness for watering holes has spread, as he joked about the number of times "I’ve sat in interviews like this in a bar or a hotel, and it’s 11 o’clock in the morning and someone sends a martini over,” Bond told the magazine. “And it’s like, 'Really? It’s 11 o’clock! Cheers! I’m not going to drink it.'”

Craig's interview with Vanity Fair will arrive on newsstands nationally October 9, with "Skyfall" arriving a month later.
