Ananova:

Fans of James Bond star Daniel Craig will get the chance to lick his famous torso this summer.

The actor's sculpted body shot to fame when he emerged from the sea in his clinging swimming trunks in Casino Royale.

Now, an ice cream company has created a lollipop replica of him based on the well-known scene.

The purple 'licence to chill' sweet went into production after more than 1,000 women said Daniel Craig was the male celebrity they would most like to see on the end of a stick.

The limited edition smoothie lollies are made by Del Monte and come in three different flavours; blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry.

For those Daniel Craig fans who are conscious about calories - the lollies will contain less than 100 calories each.

The 007 ice replicas will be distributed during the first National Ice Cream Week which begins today.

Daniel Craig recently admitted that he maintains his hunky figure by boxing.

The actor, who is currently taking a break from James Bond duties following Quantum of Solace, is set to make his Broadway debut this autumn alongside Hugh Jackman.

They will play Chicago police officers in A Steady Rain - which won several awards when it was staged in Chicago two years ago.

The play is being made by James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.

It sees the two men's lifelong friendship put to the test when they become embroiled in a domestic dispute in a tough neighbourhood.
