How excited on a scale of 1-10 are you for No Time To Die?

[@BenSmart]

11!

[@ashley_mckay]

Probably an 8? The Phoebe Waller-Bridge element gets me excited!

[@emmasydney]

007/10!

[@utbplay]

1 because I don't care about woke shit

[@Dohsoda]

A Moonraker level 11!

[@anastasia6790]

Feels like Mr. Craig is very normal and down to earth. And this energy shines through.

[@Russ96]

Every in-depth interview Daniel Craig does really shines a light on his modesty and intelligence which is always a pleasure to see

[@NormaLilia24]

He will be missed as 007, good thing we have a whole 007 collection to go back to and watch. Thank you so much Daniel Craig, you are leaving 007 on a high note and your 007 legacy will forever be my favourite ♥️♥️♥️

[@mitchellsmith4601]

I don’t think requiring a script before he’ll commit to a role makes him arrogant. He’s an actor.

[@blackvalio4060]

actor aint no miracle makers. the script is the single most important thing for a movie bruh. nos cript means death.

[@thezachmarsh]

I actually respect him more for not just blindly going "oh yeah OF COURSE I'll be James Bond." Same as I respect Dalton for turning down the role twice, first when he thought he was far too young and second when he didn't think the films were in the right place for what he wanted to do with Bond.

[@harrysecombegroupie]

Does that mean he read the script to Spectre before he committed to it? If so that is wild!

[@xwinwinwinx]

@@harrysecombegroupie I don't think so. I think they are refering to the script for Casino Royale for him to sign on as James Bond in the first place. Once he signed on he was contracted to so a set number of movies. I think it was 3? And I think he was pursuaded to do a 4th because Skyfall was so well received and the same director wanted to do another film.

[@otter011]

I understand why he said it though. It’s not ANY movie, it’s the role of a lifetime, like his friend said. Even if the script hadn’t been what he wished for, it’s Bond. It’s also not just any script but by very specific writers and producers looking over their shoulders all the time. That’s not to say that you cannot reject a script like that but it’s rare, I think, for those very few roles like that to but immediately say yes unless you feel like you just don’t fit that character. He mentioned in another interview that if the first movie had flopped, they probably wouldn’t have done another one (those contracts can obviously be dissolved) but he wouldn’t have been the first one-movie-Bond, so he would’ve been fine with it

[@dealneil4982]

Love this man, he's a prime example of someone who is genuine and actually a good person

[@toni123456ify]

I absolutely love Daniel Craig. His personality is truly great and his sense of humour gets me in absolute stitches every time. Love his laugh and his giggles. They are genuinely awesome 😁😁😊😊

[@odt4492]

"do i look like i give a damn", the emoting when he´s finally done at the embassy and that morbid smile at the bomb at the airport... chef-kiss.

[@gamernorcal]

He seems like a regular guy rather than this big movie star. i think that's part of his appeal. too bad he couldn't stay on as Bond. He's the best!

[@MrHEC381991]

He's definitely the type of person you could have a pint with. He looks like he needs one after this. Deservedly so. No Time To Die was a brilliant send off.

[@strikerbowls791]

Brilliant? You’re joking

[@matchesmalone2625]

The cash thing he’s talking about was from goodfellas. Lorraine bracco asks ray Lliota for shopping money, when he says how much she makes that gesture with her hand

[@bonniemiller4106]

Daniel Craig is such a good actor. Thanks so much for all of the “James Bond” movies. I can hardly wait to see #5. You and Sean Connery were the best ever - with Pierce Brosnan coming in a close 3rd… I liked Roger Moore okay, but he stayed too long.

[@strikerbowls791]

[@robbieadam8667]

[@tinadothuytrang9199]

@@LewisGlenday don't spoil everything

[@ConstantineFurman]

"I liked Roger Moore okay, but he stayed too long." That's not exactly what happened. Moore was contracted for four movies. After "Moonraker," he fulfilled his contractual obligations and then after that, there was no guarantee Moore would be Bond again. What it boiled down to was that the Bond "family" Craig refers to in the video, they loved working with Moore so much that they wanted him to keep playing Bond. "Octopussy" was going up against Sean Connery's "Never Say Never Again" and Cubby Broccoli knew the only way they had a leg to stand on was to get Roger back and that didn't happen until the 11th hour. "The Living Daylights" was written for Moore, but he had to actually go into Broccoli's office and tell him "I'm too old for this. I can't do it any more." That's why Dalton's freshman effort is so much more light and airy than "Licence to KIll."

[@winniem1989]

he's so bloody handsome

[@bambina3148]

Isn’t he though 🥰

[@sophocles8761]

such a versatile actor loved his work before bond - saw a hint of bond in layer cake - like Sean Connery he will have a career outside the franchise

[@tylerpurrden]

I always love watching Layer Cake as it looks like a perfect audition reel for Bond

[@xxcal2k21xx4]

Cannot wait for this!!! Grew up watching Craig portraying the role of Bond!!! Much love to you brother, thanks for the memories!!! One of the best Bonds for sure!!! Great advice for the next Bond actor “Don’t be Shit!” 😂

[@ManCave1972]

What’s interesting here is his advice is the same as the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman, namely just do as much as you can. If you want to be an actor then take every opportunity to act. If you’re a writer just write as much as you can. Just work work work.

[@cdouglashall]

Certainly worked out well for Tom Hanks

@Christopher Withers • Noooooooo! You are entitled to your opinions. BUT- nooooooo. ALL of the Bond films were wonderful. Wait. I just thought of something----I am older than you. Chris. All the movies were great. I am just a James Bond fanatic. All the actors played him well. They had their own quirks and it shined thru. 😬😬😘😘

Amazing bond and actor

[@JctsUK]

The money thing he talks about was actually done by Lorraine Bracco in "Goodfellas"

[@leegraham6425]

Daniel Craig has been an amazing Bond! But he has done so much more before! First time I saw him was in the 90’s playing ‘jordie’ in ‘our friends in the North’ & his art house films up to Bond. He will go from strength to strength & his roots in the north of England will always keep him firmly anchored.

Hello meenakshi

[@thetruthhurts122]

Daniel C is the best 007 apart from Sean C in my opinion. Sad to see him go. It will be very hard to replace him because he sets the bar too high. Hopefully they won’t replace it with anyone for the sake of “ woke”. Cillian Murphy is the best candidate for the next James Bond. He has the charisma, dark side and great actor.

[@32446]

I think it should be an actor not that well known.

[@kieronspiteri]

I would say Henry cavill as next bond or tom cruise

[@AnyoneCanSee]

@@kieronspiteri - Tom Cruise is an American and no one would accept him as English, plus he is 60 which is way too old to start off as Bond. Henry Cavill is a terrible actor and you can tell he didn't go to drama school, unlike Craig. He's typical of rich kids that just get cast on looks.

[@kieronspiteri]

@@AnyoneCanSee Henry cavill is one of the best actors same as Tom cruise

[@AnyoneCanSee]

​@@kieronspiteri - Tom Cruise is a great actor but he is 60 years old and he's an American. How can a 60 year old famous American be the NEW Bond? Whoever takes over would be in the role for 10 years. Cruise would be 70 years old in ten years. How would you have a 70-year-old man playing Bond? As for Cavill, he's the right age and I guess we just disagree about his talent. He was terrible as Superman and the movies got awful reviews. He cannot carry a role like Bond, he doesn't have the depth.
