Daniel Craig answers all the James Bond questions fans really want to know | British GQ
Read our full cover interview with Daniel Craig here: bit.ly/GQDanielCraigCoverInterview
Daniel Craig looks like real-life Bond- DUSKO POPOV - double agent from ww2!
He is offensive he is that Daniel Craig !!!!!!!
Politically correct lies. He's not being honest.
I remember when Daniel Craig were announced as the new James Bond: everyone was against this choice! But now, we all agree to say he was.. perfect!
I wasn't convinced... then I saw him in Layer Cake and was like, yep!
yeah. unfortunately, because he's not really been in much else since Casino Royale (and his character in Layer Cake was very similar), everyone has kind of not noticed how good and versatile of an actor he is.
This guy owned the role and Made it His...Best of the bonds in my eye...Casino royale was insanely good...awesome
gritty, realistic hand to hand and an extremely physical role that Craig brought intensity and realism to.. Put the other guys trying to be Bond to shame
Agreed, after watching the James Bond documentary that’s free on iTunes was really rough viewing for the first 10 minutes. The British press were out for blood and was difficult viewing. I forgot about the anti Daniel Craig campaigns.
@@skip741x3 Casino was great. The others were disgraceful.
The funniest thing is how I’m pretty sure PR told him to be calm and collected similar to bond in this interview, but I’ve seen him at a live interview last year and he’s like the funniest, most awkward and down to earth dude
I remember seeing him on SNL all those years ago and thought this guy is super funny. I wish he showed a lot more of his humor side in this interview
@@aznsketcher He doesn't show much humour as Bond, so...
@@woutthielemans5073 he does, it’s just more dry
@@woutthielemans5073 He's not playing Bond in this interview tho.....
@@woutthielemans5073 I mean good amount
Very sad ending of the story with James. I suddenly realized how much Craig's Bond influenced my perceptions on what it means to be a man in modern world - tough and yet so incredibly fragile. It hit me that his story lasted from 2006. Feels like it was light years ago. I was so mystified and amazed by Bond and Vesper dynamics. Thank you Mr. Bond. From Russia with love!
Same! But from a woman’s perspective. Name my dog vesper in highschool!
Their characters are now reunited. It would be nice to see Eva and Daniel do a romantic drama together like Leo and Kate did. They had out of this world chemistry. Pure magic.
“What convinced you to be a part of no time to die?” Money... lots of money
If that interview question had been with Graham Norton I'm sure that would have been his answer along with a cheeky grin.
I'm sure he enjoys playing the role more than people say he does, but I've also heard fairly credible rumours about his part in the new film that number in the hundreds of millions, so...
... Moneypenny
that i will be Benoit Blanc in Future Films
@@shaz2761 ur an og
"No regrets".
Truly blessed - and it reflects in his performances.
I absolutely love this man. His class, the way he talks and carries himself, his fashion sense. The guy is a genuinely masculine man without apology and it’s refreshing to see.
I mean he shrugs it off but when the humour is deployed carefully he’s very good at it. I’ll never forget the audience laughing like a great unknotting of the collective stomach as he delivers the line, “ _That last hand… nearly killed me._ “
I still say that line quite often with my friends... And now we're also gonna be saying "Another kid?" from No time to die... Everyone in the cinema where I watched it died laughing at that one!
@@01031999sweet
That’s great. There’s a throwaway line I suspect is Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s that goes something like, “Does he have that effect on all women?” “It’s about 50/50.” 😂 That really sounds like her.
JAMES BOND DIES AT THE END OF THE MOVIE
@@Ovendodger i think we know
I like his reply to Stephen Colbert about his nude pictures. Craig paused then asked, "did you like them?" audience laughter out loud.
Honest and genuine, look forward to your next endeavours Daniel.
It’s called retirement lol.
We’ve seen the last of Daniel Craig in film.
@@_BobaFett_ He is already shooting Knives Out 2, so nope. ^^
@@_BobaFett_
Not a chance. Knives Out 2 and 3 and also The Creed of Violence for starters.
Thanks paul
“What convinced you to be a part of No Time to Die?”
Money
*roll credits*
Not necessarily, he's pretty rich and passionate about the role, it's his signature role after all.
The press junket over 2 weeks, playing "Daniel Craig" is probably his most strenuous role to date. About 70 interviews (in the UK alone)
He seems in good spirits
This interview was done last year pre-COVID. Look at his hair, it's the same haircut as the GQ photos that were shot last year. GQ kept this video for 18 months lol
Your mission, should you choose to accept it... wait
Do you know how much he gets paid ? I’d do 100 interviews a day for the amount of money he makes
Yeah, all tide in to how much he made on this film. He should be smiling in every interview.
British GQ, about a British Film, portraying a British secret agent, using the US spelling for favourite :D
Hate it when British media uses American spellings.
This is because editorial quality has gone through the floor; generally.
They changed it now in the description
Who did this 😫😫.
It’s not English hahaha
Must be autocorrect on the Google keyboard if it was from a mobile or the person spends more time with usa stuff that's why 🤔
Even in his mannerisms here .... he is Bond .... sharp and to the point.
I remember my 8 year old son (now 23) wanted to see Casino Royale in 2006 because he was an avid Bond fan, particularly the old movies. I anticipated falling asleep (as I wasn’t a fan of Bond) so I took a cosy blanket with me. However, as soon as I watched Daniel run up that crane I sat up, soon forgot about the blanket and was hooked. Therefore hearing him say that the crane scene was the most challenging for him is profound considering he was scared of heights up until then. Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever in my opinion, he was born for the role. I will miss him so much in this role. I can’t wait to see No Time to Die with my son after all wonderful years and memories Daniel has given us. Best wishes to Daniel who apart from being a very accomplished actor is extremely handsome. He also looks much, much happier in his current interviews, he looked so miserable in previous interviews when he kept being asked if he would do another movie.
I'm really glad you and your son found something that you both enjoy so passionately, hopefully you'll enjoy No Time to Die, I certainly did, definitely one of the more emotional bond movies out there
Bond brought my father and I closer while he was still here 💗 except it was me who was adversed, but 13 year old me fell absolutely in love with Daniel. I remember being absolutely floored. Bond made me who I am.
Your son are at the same age to me. He is very lucky because he got a great experience in cinema. Mine was opposite, my parents brought me watched Die another day in cinema but didn’t happen with Casino Royale. They just rented from movie shop instead and they didn’t pay an attention about 007 (Craig era.) anymore. I missed that time so I’m jealous your son.
Who'd thought that a side character in Tomb Raider would eventually become the highest paid actor per picture...
James bond movies do great things. Look at Gerard Butler. One if his 1st roles was a minor role/ extra in Tomorrow never dies. Look at him now. Brilliant
He was the best thing in that movie as well.
@@henrym5889 he played a sailor he got killed give it a re-watch you'll see it
@@henrym5889 yeah I never knew till a few years ago when I seen an Interview with him
You see him in Layercake? He was amazing in that.
Answered my question on 5:09 - chuffed! Thanks so much, British GQ for setting it up, and thanks to Daniel for taking the time out to participate! :)
Nice
“Jesus 5 movies what the f*ck!”
Oh that’s brilliant! Good stuff man…
I bet Daniel is really looking forward to putting this Bond promotional stuff behind him.
I love how he's diplomatic throughout but also uncompromising with his brevity, everyone knows what's up anyway
Anyone here after watching the new movie?
I never watched Bond films until Daniel Craig came along. He hooked me in and attracted my attention; ever since then, I have loved every bit of his movies. I love that depth he brings to Bond's character and that part of humanity in him.
His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input.
Thank you Daniel Craig. Thank u for great movies like; Casino Royale, Skyfall and NOW No Time To Die; my favourite Bond movie/ any movie of all time. I'll miss you being my James Bond, the one I grew up watching and still do, reminiscing how cool you are all while still looking up to you. ❤
To whoever is the next James Bond they have got huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little girl and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy.
Daniel Craig’s time as Bond is already over… 5 films…. 16 years….. where did those years go?! He’s been fantastic as Bond. ❤❤❤❤❤
Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks.
Daniel Craig excels all the James Bonds and brings it to this whole new level. This man made a whole new world with his time frame and the position he was in while playing James Bond. Daniel Craig is the absolute epitome of any actor reforming, improving & developing a movie to a 110% piece of work; always going above and beyond all expectations. He truly brings the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig, Ml to my hero Craig... Daniel Craig :)
As a pierce Brosnan fan it took me a little while to take to Daniels' Bond but take to it i did and i think he's done a great job on all his Bond films owning the role and making sure he'll always be remembered as one of the best
Don't know how because Pierce Brosnan as James Bond was boring!!!
@@javonjames4573 Disagree
@@javonjames4573
I thought Brosnan made for a great Bond. Golden Eye will remain a classic.
After seeing Daniel Craig in Layer Cake though I knew he'd be great as Bond!
@@javonjames4573 I’m not a huge fan of Brosnan (besides the exceptional Goldeneye) but I think it’s harsh to say he is boring as Bond. Die Another Day was many things, but certainly not boring!
He grew on me over the years and became my favourite Bond of all time
He's got a cracking sense of humour. It would be out of place, but it's a shame he couldn't show it more in 007 movies. Logan Lucky and Knives Out... awesome!
Daniel is by far the best 007 we have seen…..go back and watch him in Layer Cake and tell me he wasn’t auditioning for the role!…. Super movie in its own right and worthy of a sequel
I really don't get why people put a dislike on this. Your opinion may be different but this brilliant actor has kept the interest and profile of this flawed character right up there and he answered from the heart. Just learn from him because he's done it. Great Q & A loved it!
He was the best. SO sad to see him retire from the Bond franchise
He looks older than 70.
What a top bloke, and a top take of James Bond 👍
Casino Royale - Rope Torture Scene with Mads Milkensen!! Still makes my eyes water 😂😂😂
"No-no-noooooo! To the left-to the left!"
04:50 as a Chilean person I feel proud of that answer because it's, in the North the skies are amazing 🤘🏻🇨🇱🤘🏻🇨🇱
I get the impression Daniel's had enough of promoting NTTD
he's had enough of Bond to be honest. It is understandable, he has broken his leg on set so.
He did cry on the last day of filming. There’s a video of him giving a speech and his voice breaks at the end.
I get the impression he’s sad the Bond franchise is moving on without him
Yea there were defintily few canned aswers in there. Like hoqw was working with Phobe waller bridge "she's very talented etc" basic thing everyone says same with remi whoever.
Korea premiered the film as the first place in the world. It's an honor. Thank you very much Mr. Craig for all the hard work over the years and you being able to mold a different Bond for the fans and newcomers to the series. Whoever succeeds you has big shoes to fill, or should we say mold a new Bond. You have set the bar very high. Thanks again for all the entertainment you have brought to movie lovers like myself, and making me rethink how Bond could be. As an actor that must be one of the highest achievements there is. Gamsahabnida!
Craig is the best Bond so far, the toughest and most authentic character.
what i liked about Daniel's bond is that he was more human than the others not like superhuman, would get hurt quite badly, a bit more realistic i think.
JAMES BOND DIES AT THE END OF THE MOVIE
And emotional. I liked that.
That's why he's the best. He has everything.
Yes tough yet vulnerable, griity yet sentimental, serious yet humous. This bond had everything!
Bond is superhuman ! That what it is about! Not about documentation of a normal man’s life! 😂
Daniel Craig is easily the best overall 007.
Quite literally the most human bond!!
Really really good bond. Potentially the best
He was a perfect Bond and we will miss him dearly. Thank you Craig for everything
I just love Bond, James Bond, and Daniel Craig has done Bond very well. Congrats to this very accomplished actor. Cheers
Jesus that third question. So well throughout and put.
He'll be missed. I hope the replacement is at least half as good. Looking forward to the finale. I've already bought my ticket right in the middle of an IMAX theater. A normal theater just doesn't cut it for a Bond film - especially this one.
I watched it in an iMax theatre, just in the right central spot. It was worth paying the extra for the premium seats
Henry Cavill would be a perfect Bond in my opinion. Loved Daniel Craig's version as well.
It's funny how no actor across the world ever takes this type of QnA segment seriously😁
I wouldn't either. Interviews are extensions of performing for the public, and most actors think that their performances on the screen or stage should speak for themselves. But we live in a world where we think that all aspects of an actor's life belong to the public, so we ask them to keep performing for us long after they've finished a project. Small wonder that many actors are reluctant to do publicity, or who regard it as a nuisance.
@@MichaelCNH yes
He's been the best James Bond IMO! Thank you for the new air you brought to this character!! Looking forward to your next role ❤❤
daniel craig: wears pink
the daily mail: "DANIEL CRAIG MAKES CONTROVERSIAL FASHION CHOICE IN UNMISSABLE PINK"
Hello, in England, for a long long time up till the 60s pink was considered a masculine colour, linked with hunting and outdoor sports, not sure how and why it drifted over to being a ‘girlie’ colour....
@@paulklee5790 it's purely a social construct. colours have no 'gender'
@@seerpou Well, obviously, that was what I was saying....
@@paulklee5790 yes i know
@@seerpou yes but simply saying "such and such is a social construct" doesn't make a thing irrelevant pointless or useless. I don't care what color people wear but pink being seen as not particularly masculine isn't something that'll go away anytime soon. As such, it helps (like mr craig who i think is awesome) to be secure and confident in your sexuality, masculinity and general personhood. If not, well some people are gonna have opinions about it most likely. Doesn't mean they're right or justified- in fact I'd guess that they almost never are- but telling those folks "hey now did ya now that that's a social construct" likely wouldn't make it any better : p
I’ve got every bond film ever made (not the new one 😂) I’m 58 Daniel Craig is the best bond ever closely followed by Sean
I have to agree, I found I had rapidly become bored with the Bond movies, then Daniel Craig took over and I was pleased the developed in the realization that as brilliant as Connery was, DC is phenomenal .
Agreed. For me in order of preference it is: Connery, Craig, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan... I think Brosnan was terrible to be honest.
Brosnan is the best
@@mattvanemden7573 what a horrible take, you must have terrible taste in everything
DANIEL CRAIG! My James Bond! He will be deeply missed😩😭👏🏾👏🏾
DC: What makes Daniel Craigs James Bond different from his predecessors?
DC: I play him.
Literally couldn't have answered that any better.
No time to die is bitter sweet for me, one half is absolutely brilliant.
Without trying to spoil it for others, I agree. Had some of the very best and worse moments for me
Ah I shed a few tears he done the legacy proud
@@mojothepyruttleworthy3270 : 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍!.
Same
I wonder what they’re going to do next! As in with the franchise.
Thankyou Daniel Craig for your version of James Bond... my favourite off all time now. An excellent saga with an excellent ending. The next James Bond has some serious shoes to fill.
What do you mean whoever plays the next James bond has some serious shoes to fill? Ummm... James bond is dead lol
@@MrHalo087 I hope you forgot to put /s
BEST Bond ever - and I LOVED Roger Moore (funny man, great personality too as well as handsome but played Bond tongue-in-cheek). Even Roger Moore said Daniel Craig is the best Bond too.
Craig has definitely and so intelligently marked an era of JB character. Indeed what a life changing moment for him. Thank you Craig! 🙏🏻
I love Daniel Craig he's the best James bond ever in my opinion
yea hes the best bond and the first bond to die in a missile attack
Absolutely agree he’s the best
Sean connery dudee
Despues de Sean Connery, muy posiblemente.
Timothy dalton is
This was brilliant. Really going to miss him as 007 😢.
I wasn't really THAT invested in this movie, but hearing that Rami Malek AND Phoebe Waller-Bridge are a part of this movie makes me want to see it in a movie theater!
I was really reluctant and worried about it, but surprisingly it was much better than I thought.
He is listed as a co-producer. He has had a much more significant role behind the scenes than other Bond actors. It wouldn't surprise me if he continued having a management role in some way.
He was an outstanding bond of all time
He’s so handsome and intelligent. An overall great guy. He was a really great Bond!
The best thing about Daniels James Bond is his gorgeous blue eyes
Name checks out
Dan James uno
I remember seeing that particular scene in Layer Cake. Basically that was Daniel Craig's Bond CV.
He's one of the most popular actors in the world..at the moment 😂
Funny, very blunt and brutally honest
I rewatched Casino Royale just yesterday... It's one of the best films in the series behind Goldeneye in my opinion
Amazing actor! Best Bond ever.
What a brilliant guy.
I miss him as Bond already, done great to be fair!
Daniel is the best Bond for me, was always Roger but Daniel has nailed it. He has the best walk ever. The walk in Spectre and if you look up the Olympics Queen sketch. The best walk ever.
Favourite Bond actor in my time. Great job, Daniel.
DANIEL HAS BEEN MARVELOUS AS J BOND ,, LEAVING HUGE SHOES TO FILL FOR THE NEXT GUY ,, HOPE THEY GET IT RIGHT .
Or is it the woman
Did you watch the film?? look up spoilers if you not seen it.
@Max Ambient Black, fine. Everything else I think would just reek of desperate pandering, and nobody would really like that let's be honest. People need to accept that certain characters are best fit for certain people/profiles, and that's ok.
@Max Ambient nope ,, not interested in political/woke correctness they can shove it as far as it goes ,, i think people myself included will vote with their feet and not bother :)
Watched Layer Cake on a plane to LA when it's was current had to put it on twice it was so good , he absolutely owned that Film and was a natural for Bond. Hopefully they'll go with someone young and dangerous next !
Ha ha now we know where Bond's little tic of chucking things on the floor comes from 😀
The way he tosses those cards = iconic 😍
I laughed in the torture scene in Casino Royale, that was brilliant.
Best Bond. Period.
Went to see it on Sunday and actually grizzled at the end ... first time since Titanic ( I'm a 52 year old fella by the way ) 🥺🇬🇧
I cried so I hard I was shaking!!
Mr Craig,you have done the legend PROUD!And my favourite Craig Bond movie is Casino Royale.
Casino Royale has to be my all time favourite Bond
Not my favorite Bond, but Daniel made the role his own. Much respect! I love that this interview featured the retro tv complete with the '007' moniker.👍
"What convinced you to be part of No Time to Die?" The 100 million probably did it.
plus the demands he got to make, it was his idea to bring in Waller-Brigde as the writer for the script.
Best Bond of all time.
5:17 interesting tattoo - 'A time for timelessness'
Daniel the movie was a great escape from the daily grind in my mind success achieved ! Waited 2 years The cinematography was incredible I know that’s obvious but it was spellbinding I first saw Dr. NO when I was 11 . I’ve never been let down by the location choices places that I will never see you nailed it!!!! Thank you 👍👍👍Harold from Texas
I love his no f**ks given attitude when it comes to these things lol
Sean Connery and Daniel Craig were the best portrayal of James Bond in my opinion. They could be expedient yet human at life's tragedies when it was called for, in that role. They projected strength and professionalism in their craft. They made the character and story most believable.
Even doing this Q&A he seems like Bond. Connery was my fav because I am old, but Daniel is equal to him for me now.
Daniel Craig is the best James Bond . Going to miss him in that role but looking forward to see what he stars in next .
He seems so much happier these days
With such a salary I wod, too.
It was a great time with him playing James Bond! 🔥 And it's no time to die for this character!
I'm gutted he won't be appearing as Bond again, as I think he is my favourite actor to portray the role. A modern, gritty, dark character for our time. Thank you Daniel...
Pierce Brosnan is my favourite Bond but I liked Daniel Craig and I miss him as Bond already.
Daniel Craig looked cool in every frame of the movie.
One of the greatest Bond actors imo.
He owned that role.
agreed, I just said much the same thing!
Casino, by far the best, you gave that film every ounce to prove yourself. You pulled it off and made it look easy. Great writers, great actors. 👍
Good honest answers Cuz! Proud that you were selected to portray 007!
i like the question about women and Daniel's answer especially with the cast of strong women. this is what has made bond unique and it's important and in this day and age this gets rectified and i think they have done a good job. you can compare this to the mission impossible movies where the central character is not a misogynist but still has strong female characters throughout the series. you have to give tom cruise credit there.
My favorite gadget will always be the Omega SA laser wristwatch.
Love his work esp as Bond. Tremendously disappointed at the ending of No Time To Die.
My favourite bond.
Spoilers on this comment btw:
I cannot believe he got killed. At the end of the credits, they said he’d return. Maybe a prequel? Like him training to be 007? Has that been done? Or maybe Matilde will grow up and ‘Matilde Bond’ will be a thing. There’s a lot to come!
Or maybe they’ll re-boot him again?
It'd be a reboot with another universe with another actor playing as Bond
Somehow he fits gentlemans quarterly perfect, and I believe he got out of bond series in time so he can play other roles without type casting
Tom Ford is a genius designer
Is the shirt from Tom Ford?
Love him as a Bond, person and actor🤍. Great interview and fabulous outfit🎀💎
Haha love how casually he throws the Q cards away ...very bond like! Just like he threw the id card in the bin in the movie :D
Daniel has left Very big shoes to fill! whoever next takes the role had better bring it!
There's concise, and there's "I cannot abide spending any more time promoting this franchise, whilst not actually slagging it off".
As they say, 'I would hate to follow' one performer says of another i.e. Daniel Craig as James Bond. Additionally, I saw a GQ picture of him (in a pair of jeans!) he looks like he can walk through walls. he's amazing & his physicality is amazing in the role
