Daniel Craig plunges into wastebasket for new pal

DANIEL CRAIG rolled up his sleeves and dug through the trash at a recent dinner party - to help a fellow guest recover a missing hearing aid. British journalist Sir Peregrine Worsthorne had difficulty hearing after the device went missing at a gathering in London's Notting Hill - and he was stunned when the James Bond actor offered to help locate it.
But he didn't expect Craig to get down and dirty to find the aid.
Worsthorne writes in the New Statesman: "Daniel Craig, the great film star, took the lead in searching for it. Having looked in all the chairs and sofas, he turned in desperation to the dustbins, not hesitating to plunge his arms into the kitchen waste.
"When it transpired the hearing aid was not lost but hiding in my shirt, having fallen through the open collar, Craig managed to smile rather than scowl; and it was he who went to the off-licence when the booze ran out. A good sport."
