Fussy Craig’s aides will stay on the Caribbean island with the surly actor for three weeks.

They will then travel to England and around the world as filming on the yet untitled 25th movie of the franchise continues.

A film source said: “Daniel is a perfectionist and his chef will only cook for him.

“That, coupled with having his own trainer with him, means he will be fighting fit for what is a slog of filming schedule.”

Craig, 51 — married to actress Rachel Weisz, 49 — will also be joined on set at all times by his own physio.

The therapist is thought to be a precaution after Craig injured his knee filming Spectre in 2015.

Demanding Craig has proved hard to please in the past.

Danny Boyle reportedly quit as director over a spat with him over casting for the film’s lead villain.

None of the Bond girls in his time were chosen without Craig’s say-so.

Insiders say he is prone to tantrums and has a temper when asserting his views on a production.

The Sun revealed how he had been given creative control in his final Bond role.

56 more kills to become bloodiest Bond

Daniel Craig still has a way to go to become the deadliest 007.
Currently Pierce Brosnan holds the kill record with 135 bodies — leaving Craig 56 short.

Roger Moore is at number two with 90 hits, while George Lazenby only had five on-screen kills.
