Daniel Craig Answers Questions About James Bond 007 | GQ

Daniel: i will never play bond again
Producers: how does 50 mil sound?
Daniel: the name is Bond. James Bond

I like Mr. Craig's down-to-earth attitude. He realizes he won the film lottery, and is humble about it. Not to mention, he is an accomplished actor outside of the Bond films. Best of luck to him!

[joncokejones]

It’s crazy to think how much people hated him when he got casted at first now its debatable that he could be the best

[robertholik]

To everyone saying he is cocky or rude or whatever, I met him just before Casino Royale premiered and while he is super intimidating / cool / badass looking... once he starts talking to you, he is one of the nicest actors I have ever met. Asked me what my name was right of the bat and truly cared to get to know me.

Have supported him even more ever since. He doesn't play the BS game - that's what you see when you think he's cocky

Daniel Craig is such a a good Bond, not a charming Bond but more rugged and dark. He made the character so real, before, Bond was just a hot guy who got everything his way. Craig made him human, he faced hardships and he fought back like no other Bond ever did. Casino royale and nightfall are the best bond movies. Thank you Daniel Craig

[side-fish]

"Which is the worse injury?"

Obviously the one where Le Chiffre scratched his balls 😛

[byron]

Casino Royale is still one of the best Bond movies ever

[crustyz]

Craig - "no, i just cant do another bond movie"
Producers - 50 million
Craig - "Iv got a little itch, down there"

[chipblock]

I believe that Daniel could play Gordon Ramsey very easily. His looks are there though all the cursing may be a stretch for Daniel.

[dgillies]

Saw "No Time to Die" today. 3 hours flew by like a jet airplane. Masterpiece!

[saifmahmudishtiakshushaan]

The stakes are very high for the next Bond. Craig really set the benchmark.

[BrokenGodEnt]

Bonds attitude towards women during Craig's run makes perfect sense after setting up why he's like that in Casino Royale. He fell in love. He felt betrayed by his love and then lost her. His calluses for the rest of the series feels more justified because of that. Classic Bond womanizing was just because 007 liked to bang broads. Craig's 007 womanizing feels like a response to trauma.

[Jejdjejbfjf]

What I love about Craig's bond most is that he truly made Bond charming in his own way. Rugged, brave, charming sorta bond, rather than the slick Pierce Brosnan style. Both types of bonds are charming in their own ways, one simply cannot compare, but instead should appreciate these actors for infusing their own interpretations and personalities into Bond

[user]

The way he just throws the cards down 😂 Still giving James Bond vibes!

[Mio]

"I don't try to judge a character I play; I let the audience do that."

Mr. Craig, that is like the best thing I've heard an actor say so far about acting in general.

[carolynbrown]

Daniel Craig was the only reason i started watching Bond movies again. Raw and graceful at the same time. A pleasure to watch. Whoever comes next will have to go beyond. Definitely a hard act to follow

[nikhils]

Love the respect he gives to Sean Connery

[mrcuryslaboratory]

I feel like he's still Bond answering these questions. The ol', "I don't drop character until I've done the DVD commentary" motto. At the very end its Daniel haha.

[philippweritz]

friend of mine was his bodyguard for the scenes in the alps in Spectre, and he said Craig is super nice, down to earth and he told me one anecdote.

When they shot in the mountains the time of shooting depended on the weather, so sometimes they had days when everything got cancelled within the hour cause a storm showed up. Craig, kinda annoyed that he had to idle, told him that he wanted to go into town, walk around and grab a coffee. This usually meant that he had to call that in, get the whole caravan of bodyguards and cars, but Craig was like nope, were not doing that, just you and me buddy.

Put on a big ol winter hat, sun glasses and walked around some small town, where people knew James Bond was being filmed, yet none the wiser he was walking among them haha. And Craig was really interested in him and afterwards thanked him for doing this off the books so to say.

[alexbedwell]

Haha I love the subtlety here. The tossing of the cards, the single word answers, the "no, jesus!" in response to adding more at the end - I get the feeling he wasn't expecting quite so many questions and also probably can't wait until this final Bond press tour is done!
