Isn't that sweet?
"Cannes -- Has the reality craze hit Cannes? Despite the requisite pomp, circumstance, celebration and silliness, one of the most marked characteristics of the festival thus far is how reality keeps creeping in amongst the art and artifice.
For example, the face of Madeleine McCann, the little missing British girl who made headlines last week when a reward was put up by such celebrities as Richard Branson and J.K. Rowling, is plastered all over town. On multi-lingual flyers, the blaring headline "Look into my eyes!" is superimposed over her cherubic face with a plea to contact U.K. charity Crimestoppers with any information on her abduction. Daniel Craig has even agreed to wear a yellow ribbon in support of the cause when he hits town this weekend."

Thought I'd share that bit of information. Only goes to show what a genuinely caring person he is. (Yeah as if we need any more proof of that )

He just gets sweeter by the day, seriously.
If I wasn't madly in love, I am now - he's just so well rounded and everything about him seems to be perfect! How can this be true - have we finally found a perfect man on earth??
Living in England, the Madeleine story is quite heart-wrenching - he obviously feels the same.

It's nice to see his support of good things...although, even though it seems like an unusual thing to say, announcing that sort of thing in advance seems a little showy for Daniel. Not that I doubt his sincerity, I would say something, too...but it's not bad for publicity, one must admit.

Not that I would want to make him a saint, but from what I know about him, he`s overly afraid to do anything that comes even close to a "show of" sort of thing. So here, IMO its a 100% for the cause, not the publicity.007cheese wrote:It's nice to see his support of good things...although, even though it seems like an unusual thing to say, announcing that sort of thing in advance seems a little showy for Daniel.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

I never looked at it that way. The report says he agreed to wear a ribbon, so I thought they must have approached him, not the other way round. If the initiators make it public that he supports the cause, it can't hurt because they need that kind of attention the stars are drawing to the issue. It's a clever move on their part IMO.
