"I'm notorious. I have to go to the toilet before we sit down," he said, excusing himself. When he came back, he was greeted by a performance from 20-year-old Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti and a giant platter of haggis, which was presented with a grand ode and tasted, as is tradition, by every person at the table before being served. Connery said he loves haggis but doesn't cook it himself. "Cook it? Me? I don't cook! My wife cooks!" Another thing the original 007 loves? Daniel Craig. "He was wonderful. But if he's going to do two more, he should stick with Martin Campbell, the director." As for the movie, Casino Royale? "Half an hour too long," he said. "And the music was shit." —Jada Yuan
