Child actress DAKOTA BLUE RICHARDS has blown JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG's tough guy image - insisting the star is a "big kid".

The 13-year-old stars alongside fellow Brit Craig in The Golden Compass - and claims the 39-year-old was the opposite of his brooding onscreen persona.

She tells the New York Daily News, "He's going to hate me for saying this, but he's like a very big kid around me. He can be very immature and fun, and I liked hanging out with him."
