Daniel Craig admired the most 007 was the first Bond Sean Connery. His favorite Bond movie was "007: Love in Russia" in 1963, but from the moment he put on the Bond suit, he decided not to imitate anyone, and he wanted to present his own 007.

From "007: The Great War of Casino Royale" to the currently released "007: No Time to Die" (pictured above), the five "007" series have made "Daniel Craig, 007" deeply rooted in people's hearts.
After the "007: Vs. Casino Royale" was launched, the entire public opinion community never looked forward to turning the bow and began to praise Daniel Craig. Even if the evaluation of several 007 films in the future was not ideal, the impression of Craig , that is, 007 was never shaken. Until the 25th Bond movie "007: No Time to Die" sent him a heroic ending with a massive explosion scene, which may be the most decent ending.
"I am very happy to look forward, and I really feel that it is time to say goodbye because I have performed this role as much as I can. Looking back at the five "007" series of movies I have participated in, I am proud of them and grateful for the opportunity to participate. Of course, I will be reluctant to leave when saying goodbye to 007, because it is one of the most important roles in my life, and it will be a character I have spent a lot of time thinking about."
And in Daniel Craig's sixteen-year 007 adventure journey, there are many stories worth telling.
Leaving office
All this is like a crazy dream
Many years later, when Daniel Craig saw that the new 007 was in office and was tortured by mean comments, he might remember that he was appointed In 2005 of James Bond, fans of the legendary agent boycotted collectively, disliked him for being too short, too rough, and too light-colored - " Roger Moore played Bond is also blonde, I really don't understand why they were making a big fuss about it."
2021 is the 16th year of Daniel Craig as agent 007, "It all looks like a crazy dream." Now he is finally going to say goodbye to this title, and the whole world is beginning to reluctantly give up on him, and even proclaims that he has changed the screen image of 007 forever. "I thought at first that if I messed up, it would be fine. So I also hope that no matter who takes over 007, I can enjoy this journey."

movie "007: No time to die" is the 25th movie in the series and it is also the last time Daniel Craig plays the role of James Bond.
Value
His first place has been on HollywoodThe highest paid male actor
Daniel Craig has acted in many stage plays and independent movies in his early years. Although he began to travel to Hollywood in the 1990s, he was still not very popular. When James Bond's invitation was handed to him, he hesitated, but in the end he was impressed by the charm of money. "Bond movies can make me a lot of money. Don't be ashamed of making money. My pay is very good."
When "007: The Great War of Casino Royale" in 2006, Daniel Craig's pay was $3.2 million; when "007: The Great Collapse Quantum Crisis" in 2008, it doubled to $7.2 million; in 2012, "007: The Great Collapse of Sky" helped him enter a 10 million club, with $17 million plus box office share; and when the last two movies "007: The Ghost Party" and "007: No Time to Die", his pay was $25 million plus box office share. At the end of 2018, he once became the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
Pain
Broken leg and knee
Huge pay means global box office appeal, Hollywood does not raise useless people, all reputations have their own clear and real price; and for Daniel Craig personally, this also means super training, long-term stay away from family, and immeasurable dangers and pains.
Before entering Bond set, he intensive and intense physical training seven days a week, from a thin and sharp Liverpool male to a super agent with perfect muscles and can jump at the plane at any time - "I was afraid of heights before filming "007: The Royal Casino", but there was still a fight scene filmed on a construction crane 30 stories high on the ground; during his role as Bond, his highest record was that he had not returned home for a whole year to accompany his wife and children. This separation to some extent prompted him to declare after "007: The Ghost Party" that he would never be Bond again; and every time he left, he left Bond crew, he always breaks some body parts. He broke his leg and sprained his foot. He was even thrown into the knee by the professional wrestler Dave Batista who won the six-time world championship - "Dave is really gentle, so I advised him to do it harder, but I went there and my knee is still here; I also gave Dave a set of broken nose, but he was super cool. After telling us that he was fine, he picked up his nose on the spot."

movie "007: Ghost Party", Daniel Craig and Dave Batista were both injured in an action scene.
character
Reflect on what kind of person Bond is
In Daniel Craig's career, he played the role of the son of the arrogant mafia , a self-doubted private detective, a financial reporter involved in trouble, a fantasy retired drug dealer, and a Jewish leader who resisted the Nazis, but no character defined, bound, or even changed himself like Bond.
2005 to the present, no matter where he is, he is 007, but he is also reflecting on 007: "When I play this role, I always ask myself whether he is a good person or a bad person who works for good people? After all, Bond is a killer authorized by the British authorities. I have played many roles, and the dark side of each character is worthy and should be discussed. I don't think the producer should arrange a confusing ending in the movie, but I believe that the audience has the right to question who he is and what kind of person he is."
This kind of thing about Bond The deconstruction and reflection run through the five movies starring Daniel . From "007: The Great War of Casino Royale", facing the iconic question raised by the bartender "Martini should shake or disturb", he absent-mindedly retorted: "Do I seem to care?" In "007: No Time to Die", Bond recalls Vesper, cuts apple for his baby daughter, and resolutely goes to die for the sake of the safety of his mother and daughter. These all redefine a three-dimensional, humane Mr. Bond, which is exactly in line with Daniel's initial vision of Bond.
female companion
Bond’s attitude towards women is up to debate
When a strong black woman appears in the Bond movie, she tells James Bond with a proud look that she is number 007, you know that the world has been changed, and 007 is no longer the romantic and charming playboy, and the women in Bond movies are no longer limited to useless vases and femme fatales.

In "007: No Time to Die", female 007 (left) appears for the first time.
"I try not to criticize him in my heart, but Bond's attitude towards women is subject to debate and critical reflection. We can only choose stronger and wise female actors to match him, and all I can do is not criticize him during the performance, and give the right to judge to the audience."
Bond
in life , the same wife and daughter are with her
"There is no time to die" There are four main women, one is the new 007 black girl, who can be regarded as Bond's once arrogant original ecological successor, and the other is M's assistant bravely stands up in the vortex of power to fight for justice; the other captures the hearts of the audience with the contrast between nervousness, cuteness and super combat power in just 10 minutes; the other melts Bond's cold soul through life and death, becoming his weakness and armor.
But Bond is the killer. Once the killer has weaknesses and ties, he should die.
In real life, Daniel Craig met a real-life goddess and became an agent 007. Although he had known Rachel Weisz for many years, it was not until he collaborated on " Dream House Strike " in 2010. The two finally held a private wedding in 2011 and gave birth to a daughter in 2018. His wife and daughter became Daniel's weakness and bond. He is in his 50s. He may still rely on concentrated training and stand-in, but he can no longer bear the days when he was not with his family for several months in order to save the world.

Daniel Craig travels with his wife Rachel Weisz.
Honor
During the London Olympics , I met the queen
At the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics , a black classic car drove into Buckingham Palace , Daniel Craig appeared in a 007 iconic black suit. He walked into the office of the Queen of England , picked up the Queen on a helicopter, flew over all the landmark buildings in London, and arrived at the Olympic opening ceremony venue. The two jumped directly from a high altitude and landed in the London Bowl of England on a parachute with the British flag.
Of course, these two airborne were not Bond and the Queen themselves, they were both stand-in, but Daniel said he actually met the Queen on the ground during the filming. The Queen then entered the venue with Olympic Committee Roger Chairman to celebrate the opening of the London Olympics while commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Bond series of films.

During the filming of the movie "007: No Time to Die", Prince Charles also went to visit the set.
fans
movie watches were sold nearly 20 times the price
In the same year as the London Olympics, the London Christie's auction house in the UK auctioned 007 movie-related items to donate to charities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Bond series of movies. The auction totaled 752,100 pounds (about 7.56 million yuan at the time), including 51 props. The highest profit was the swimming trunks worn by Daniel Craig in "007: The Great War Casino Royale" - the overseas shot that left its name in film history - with a bid of 44,500 pounds (about 447,000 yuan).
, who played Mrs. M at the time, Judy Denchi , came on stage to introduce the blue swimming trunks and said humorously: "I can only say that these are unwashed original pants." The ex-boy Bondroger Moore also wore Craig's mask to play at the auction, praising him as the best 007.
Daniel Craig wore an Omega watch in "007: Skybreak Crisis", which was originally estimated to be 8,000 pounds (about 80,400 yuan), and finally sold for 157,300 pounds (about 1.58 million yuan), and the price increased by nearly 20 times - it shows the madness of Bond fans, or Daniel Craig fans.
Agent
The success of years of precipitation is difficult to copy
No matter how many superheroes the entertainment and film industry has created, there are only three eternal agents in the world: James Bond of the "007" series, Ethan Hunter of the "Mission: Impossible" series, and Jason Born of the "Spy Shadows" series. These three agents deconstruct the agent industry from different angles in the recurring Earth rescue project.

James Bond is almost synonymous with British gentleman.
James Bond is elegant and funny, with many magical props, representing the last pride of British gentlemen in the Hollywood torrent - although Daniel's American citizenship changed Bond's British identity to some extent, in a CBS TV series in 1954, Bond was once an agent of the CIA (CIA); Ethan Hunter has a strong Tom Cruise star attribute, and he also imitated "007" in "Mission Impossible 2" because he has too many imitations of "007" in "Mission Impossible 2" 》 series was satirized and criticized, and it was not until the third part that formally established its action-type film, and it was the most exciting and deadly type; Jason Bourne used a realism to break the audience's imagination of agents based on Bond and Mission Impossible. This not handsome man seems to live in a crack of a crisis since he opened his eyes for the first time and found that he had lost his memory. This characteristic has strong limitations, which also led to the failure of the attempt to change actors of production company .
The long-standing Bond movie seems to point out the way for all entertainment movie series that delusionally develop a century-old enterprise, but no one seems to be able to replicate the taste of success that has been precipitated by the years; now "007: No Time to Die" sacrifices Bond himself, and where the future of Agent 007 is going is more like a highly anticipated question mark.
Future
Finally reaped the leisurely life he wanted five years ago
Daniel Craig has an overly typical British face. His light blue eyes, high hairline, and upper lips that are about nothing. In addition to the tough muscle he trained for Bond, they have redefined Bond himself - compared to the Bond actors before him, they seem more globalized.
Now among the 007 candidates petitioned by netizens, from the same rough Charlie Hannam (" Pacific Rim "), to the majestic and dark Idris Elba (" Thor "), to the popular British Asian Henry Golding (" Crazy Rich "), all of which are demonstrating a more diverse, diversified, and anti-globalized aesthetic trend of the times, which is bound to be completely contrary to Bond's initial setting - or the fundamentalist Bond has long been eliminated by history. We still don’t know who will eventually fall, but judging from the box office and commercial results of the latest work, the next one is on the way.

Daniel Craig
When the last screening of "007: No Time to Die" was completed, Daniel Clay's Bond was completely owned by the historical archives. He finally got the relief he wanted five years ago, returned to the leisurely life of studying, drinking beer, and supporting the Liverpool United. It is also possible to open up a new world of detectives in the "Knife Out" series...
This autumn after several twists and turns, Daniel waved goodbye, but the 007 number will last forever.
[Dialogue]
Beijing News: Several former actors who played 007 have left a deep impression on movie fans. Has their spirit affected you?
Daniel Craig : Of course, I grew up watching Shaun Connery and Roger Moore's version of 007, and Connery and his suit style have had a particularly profound impact on me. I remember the previous 007 movies, Connery was wearing an Savile Street high-end suit. The director at the time told him, "You have to wear it all the time, you can't take it off even when you sleep." So in the end, Connery successfully managed the suit without being bound by the suit. These stories always impressed me with the dressing style and details of the 007 movie. When you read the original work of Ian Fleming , you will find that he pays great attention to details. For example, he can use three pages to describe a breakfast and four paragraphs to describe a pair of cufflinks. I feel like I have a responsibility to keep this tradition for fans and Bond fans, paying homage to Fleming and all the previous 007 movies.
Beijing News: "007: No Time to Die" is your last time in Bond. For actors, "saying goodbye" is a cruel thing, right?
Daniel Craig: I thought about it carefully, not hastily decided to play this role.When I said goodbye to him, I had to think more about it. Later, the outbreak also brought great changes to this decision, which gave us a new perspective on many things. So, I am now very satisfied and happy with my curtain call of 007, but there is also a hint of sadness.

Daniel Craig said he would treasure a watch he wore when filming "007: The Royal Casino" before.
Beijing News: The new film has covered a lot of high-tech weapons and props. Do you have any benefits to get a few of them as the starring actor?
Daniel Craig: Indeed, I am often asked this question (laughs), and everyone must think I have brought all the props on the set home. Unfortunately, I have to undergo a body search by a security guard before I leave the set. However, I was lucky to keep a few things as a memory. For example, I like to keep my suits, but the problem is that I was very thin during the filming movies, and my clothes didn't fit well after a year. But the clothes were still very delicate, and later I donated all these suits to charities, and some things like shoes, which were also donated. But I left a watch, which was a very beautiful Omega rubber strap watch. It was worn when filming "007: Casino Royale". It was also covered with the red mud from the shooting site. I will treasure it forever.
Beijing News: The same character has played the same role so many times, and I have also seen the changes in Bond under your interpretation. Is this deliberately done?
Daniel Craig: I hope there is! I have been trying to change him, and as I grow older, I hope he will be as close to me as possible. The stronger Bond's enemies, the more he can make me feel like a real character. Although sometimes what he does is incredible and can achieve a certain amount of entertainment, I have always tried to make him a real person, a person who will be influenced by the world, so that he will be more down-to-earth in everyone's hearts.
Beijing News: If you encounter 007 in real life, what would you do?
Daniel Craig: I guess, I will try my best to avoid him. I don't think he's the kind of person I want to make friends with, and I feel like Bond will be in trouble as soon as he appears. (Laughs) I don't know what I want to say to him, but I'm curious about what he wants to say to me.
