Daniel Craig on Becoming James Bond | The New Yorker Festival

Producer: The New Yorker

This is a great interview. I'm so glad he was allowed to express himself without constantly being interrupted. I agree with him, as far as the previous Bond films go, and while I hated him on principle when he was first cast, I quickly realized that he's the best Bond in my book to date. I prefer his scaled-back, raw and real version of 007 over the "wink-wink" one. I'm so glad he took the route that he did with these films.

craig is the best british actor out there i cant see anybody replacing him as bond.He must return.

The second best James Bond ever after Connery. But Connery had the advantage of being the first. What Craig accomplished was truly a miracle. I remember leaving the theatre having thd feeling of seeing a new and fresh character.

Daniel Craig made me forget that there was ever other actors playing James Bond...

[CRITTERBUSTERS]

Craig effectively combined the class and humour of Sean Connery’s bond with the Intelligence and Intensity of Timothy Dalton’s bond and gave us something great.

Daniel Craig is the kind of guy that turns straight men gay and gay women straight lol

[EdNorty]

James Bond looking like Red Grant hehe

[MAGNANNI]

Nice interview. It was really interesting.

[chemicalbrother]

I have to say I doubt that Daniel Craig considered "Die Another Day" entertaining - as he claims here. One would have to be an 8 y.o. to really think that. But kudos to Mr. Craig for being a diplomat and tactful.

[Ferrometa]

I understand this interview went for approximately 90 minutes. Is it possible for the entire interview to be published?

[jameshanscombe]

Thank you Jason Bourne. He is why we have Craig's Bond.

This dude aged in 10 years since Casino Royale, He looks 59 years old . Bond films can make you rich but GL on getting other parts . Many good actor turn down the role because it offers no challenge . I think he sick of being Bond and if he came back I hope its for the script not the money and make a damn good film .

Pierce playing Bond was just living out his fantasy, he didn’t bring anything to the character.

Daniel was never as impressed by Pierce's movies.
