Ellen Pompeo Says Daniel Craig 'Needs a Reality Check'

Ellen Pompeo is feeling shaken and stirred after Daniel Craig moaned about having another turn at playing James Bond - a coveted and iconic gig for many actors.
The "Grey's Anatomy" actress shared a link Thursday with her Twitter fans that directed to Craig's recent interview with "Time Out London," and let her thoughts be known: "This dude needs a reality check."
The actor said in the interview that he would rather "break this glass and slash my wrists" than star in another 007 film.

Craig catapulted to international fame starring in 2006's "Casino Royale" after replacing Pierce Brosnan in the franchise. Now after wrapping his fourth film in the series, "Spectre," in theaters Nov. 6, the action star says he's "over it at the moment," adding, "All I want to do is move on."
"Spectre" will likely earn Craig a reported $60 million in salary and profit-sharing.
The seemingly ungrateful comments don't resonate with Pompeo, who has credited her "Boston, blue-collar upbringing" for her professionalism and work ethic. In a "NY Post" interview, the actress said she has "an amazing life" after playing Meredith Grey on her ABC drama for more than 10 years.
"I have a house five minutes from the studio, I have a house in the Hamptons, a house in Malibu, a beautiful daughter whom I see every night, and it’s all because I didn’t leave 'Grey’s Anatomy,'" she said.
