British actor DANIEL CRAIG has found an unexpected benefit since taking over the role of JAMES BOND - he is now a gay icon.

Craig, who is currently filming forthcoming 007 movie CASINO ROYALE, was mobbed by admiring homosexuals on a night out, and was surprised to find they had other things on their minds than Bond.

The 38-year-old says, "I was out recently and all these gay guys were all over me like a rash, but they never ask about the Bond plot."
