Nice interview. No stupid questions or trying to be clever and funny. No pathetic questions about pouting.

[@emibud1055]

Jesus I watched that interview and I literally had to leave the room! It was SO AWKWARD why would she ask that!!!

[@wmwilliam5527]

+Emily Budinger which one

[@emibud1055]

This Morning IT WAS SO AWKWARD just type in 'awkward Daniel Craig interview' and cry yourself to sleep! 😱

[@aisey100]

+Cryer24597 Just keep taking your medication and move along.

[@aisey100]

+Cryer24597 I really honestly couldn't care less.

[@benjaminbertrand1259]

awww. what a nice interviewer. you can see daniel is relieved to be speaking with someone who isnt too prying, while being excited about the actual film. refreshing.

[@Aristocratic13]

Yeah, he seems "blahh" a lot lately

[@VanLupen]

+C. J. Bailey he has been doing it for 10 years I unrerstand.

[@MrKC23]

Did you know that "Daniel" means "GOD is my Judge". One day, we will all die, and meet the Holy Judge of the Universe, Jesus Christ. Christianity has bad news and good news. But first the bad news Tell me, is sex before marriage wrong? Are pornography and masturbation wrong? Michael Jackson died. We will all die one day. Where are you going when you die? Are you 100% sure that you will go to heaven? Are you a good person? GOD sees everything. He knows your secrets. GOD also hears what comes from your mouth. "But I tell you, on the day of judgment people will have to give an accounting for every careless or useless word they speak." (Matthew 12:36.) Lying is wrong. Masturbation is wrong. Pornography is wrong. Heterosexual sex before marriage is wrong is also wrong. Homosexuality/Lesbianism is wrong. Jesus summed up the evilness of our hearts in this way: For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20These are what defile a person. (Matt 15.19-20) If you have committed fornication (and I have myself), or broken any of the 10 Commandments, then you’re guilty of breaking GOD’s Law, and therefore we all deserve conscious hell fire forever (like the rest of mankind). But GOD loves you and sent his sinless, righteous Son to be tortured, and die on the Cross, taking the punishment for sinners. 3 days later, Jesus rose from the grave. JESUS IS GOD! You MUST turn from your sins (stop practicing sin), and obey Jesus, and love him with all your soul, heart, mind and strength. Be reconciled with Christ! “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isa 55) He calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. (Romans 10:13) If you became a Christian (i.e. obey and trust Jesus), you will receive 1. forgiveness of sins, your sins and guilt will be blotted out, 2. GOD himself will dwell inside you, transform you, speak to you through the Bible and GOD Almighty will live His life through you 3. God will remove your heart of stone and give you a new heart and a new spirit, with new desires. GOD will rejoice in doing you good. 4. your name will be written in the Lambs book of Life, 5. you will enter the new Earth, 6. and you will see GOD's face. 7. Being filled with the Spirit, you'll be filled with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23) 8. GOD will live his holy and righteous life through you. Otherwise, you will be judged guilty, and tortured forever. This is true, whether you believe it or not. Your blood be on your own head. You’ve been lovingly warned. Now you have no excuse for your sin.

[@OsmanLiban]

Great interview. How they should be done

[@smellyderpface]

what a great interview! melissa looked so comfortable talking to daniel and vice versa

[@RGK93]

This is the first interview i see where the interviewer is not harassing him with "Are you going to do another Bond movie?" They both seem commfortable.

[@mysteryofthesea1517]

These two shared some great chemistry, Daniel Craig seemed to be genuinely enjoying her company. Usually in these press junket's you can tell the interviewee is bored out of their mind, and simply going through the motions. But here, "Bond" really seemed to have a wee twinkle in his eye for this girl! ❤ _[Edit] : I just subscribed to this channel, based solely off the quality and professionalism of this interviewer, so please utilize her more. I will be watching more of your interviews over the coming days._

[@joeywildman1100]

I like the interviewer she seems so nice and polite :)

[@carlosalegria4776]

Daniel looked older in Skyfall then in Spectre! the man looks badass!

[@Liamleddy89]

because He's got makeup

[@SkiDaBird]

+Liam Leddy And?

[@carlosalegria4776]

Liam Leddy He wears make up in all the movies, he still looks younger then before.

[@elamplough1]

+Carlos Alegría In Skyfall I guess 007 is kind of having a midlife crisis so feels older (hence why Craig looks older). He's still a fit James Bond though.

[@Liamleddy89]

I feel Craig could do one more bond movie however he's is 47.Oh well guess we all gotta wait for 3 or 5 years for a new Bond movie and actor.

[@LaurenOrion]

She's such a wonderful interviewer

[@ssu3936]

I'm on a Melissa Nathoo interview marathon right now and she's been amazing and natural in every single one. Every single person she's interviewed seem to be a lot more relaxed across from her. I hope she does a lot more interviews.

[@NatS3703]

What a genuine and polite interview :) some interviewers just try get the person saying something they can slander or pick apart but this was just nice :)

[@lifexobservatory6541]

we don't want you to leave!!!!!

[@Jarbojar]

Why spectre have lower ratings than the predecessor, because our expectations is very high, Skyfall is to good to beat but Spectre is still one of the best bond film.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

you are correct, it is always human expectations that effect these ratings, people will always compare, and if it doesn't match Skyfall, then it's downgraded as if it's bad when it isn't, if Skyfall is a 10 and Spectre is a 7 or 8, then it's not bad at all

[@SkiDaBird]

+Izhar Abdilah I agree. I don't understand all the hate it's gotten, I even saw an article that said it was the worst in 30 years, which is a claim no one who has actually watched Die Another Day would make. I thought it was good, perhaps missing a few small pieces, but a good 007 movie nonetheless and one that I think will age really well due to all the great Bond references it has.

[@TheLennyLegoShow]

+Izhar Abdilah My theory is is that it started out GREAT (with that 6 minute uncut scene), then turned into a not as good climax. Maybe it wasn't that the climax was bad, but that the first half was so ridiculously great it just seemed bad.

[@zahirsookoor2673]

Just like avengers age of ultron...the first was just too hard to beat and our expectations got the better of us! Still a "good" movie though

[@jexonesw2062]

+Izhar Abdilah Sorry to say that but in my opinion skyfall was bad, there was not enough action, and there was not the modern side like in Casino Royal, it was like the old james bond and i really don't like... Sorry for my english lol

[@Agent1W]

Mr. Hinx made me think of Oddjob, which that's a credit to Dave Bautista's performance.

[@Aristocratic13]

Or JAWS

[@TheDreamer452]

+DJ Moon Knight id say more oddjob.

[@Aristocratic13]

True

[@Agent1W]

Well, we know Jaws has a heart and is really a nice guy. I can't really say the same for Mr. Hinx. *"Well, here's to us."*

[@stalk8r]

+Agent1W Yup. In fact, the entire Spectre really want back to the old school Bond atmosphere. You had the diabolical villain with ridiculous base, you had the over the top action scenes, you had the unstoppable henchman, you had the gadget filled car. I really liked this film.

[@toodlypip77]

What a lovely interview 👍🏼

[@eaglerabbit8922]

That interviewer is so pretty :O

[@piccolo56000]

+eaglerabbit89 and smart

[@danskyl7279]

She's a Bond girl.

[@vintageb8]

Casino Royale was the best Bond movie

[@GeorgeBack02]

Very nice interview. And a perfect movie.

[@john-007files5]

agree, george :)

[@demolisher7778]

He's a good bond I mean honestly though

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Spectre was a great Bond film, definitely one of the most rewatchable in the entire franchise. I'm sad to see Craig go. The fight scene on the train because Craig and Bautista was one of the best fight scenes of all time, and the opening sequence too.

[@tangomango1376]

Facts, I don't understand why it's so hated? I love it and it's definitely one of the top 10 bond films.

[@MattPryze]

Perfect fucking interview!

[@DarthXboxian]

What an incredible interviewer! Definitely subscribing. Also a huge fan of Bond!

[@jakefarronmerlin7963]

refreshing spectre interview stoked to watch it, internet has it on lockdown as far as i can tell.

[@obscureentertainment8303]

Clive Owen, Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender are my picks for the next Bond.

[@kingstricker43]

Great interview... But skyfall was MUCH better

[@w-james9277]

+Nonya Biznnus Spectre was still better than 90% of all the other Bond movies imo

[@piccolo56000]

+Leopard95 LOL WHAT the hell? they are incomparable.

[@w-james9277]

lonewolf colin So do you like Spectre/Skyfall then?

[@piccolo56000]

Leopard95 i have read reviews though , i have not watched it but i have watched casino royale , quantum of solace and Skyfall , i loved all except the second one , i think the styles are VERY different compared to all bond films , either if it was good or bad , its different eras.

[@benceszolnoki2411]

I am going to miss him as Bond 😢 i remember first bond poster with him in Casino Royale. Year after Pierce Brosnan last bond 😢

[@ianwilliams6042]

Advice to the next James Bond - don't slag him off and call him names, ie: - misogynist.

[@fanboydee]

+Ian Williams So you recommend that the next Bond fails to understand the character? Brilliant.

[@ianwilliams6042]

dnwilliams Bond was never a misogynist. Give me examples of his misogyny.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Lol another one in denial - anyone with half a mind knows Bond is a misogynist, the films are sexist, and he's a character born out of an era of sexism that treats women like sexual objects

[@ianwilliams6042]

But the women in Bond movies treat him like a sexual object, so...?

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Ian Williams Do you never realize that it is a group of men writing how a woman would act? You don't think it odd that it is always men writing how a woman will fall to the lust and lure of Bond? You don't think it strange that it is men who are writing women to behave sexually or fall in love or be seduced so easily? All the women are written through the gaze of a man, a sexual gaze - Bond gets to be a character, a person, the women in Bond do not, they are objects of conquests, one night stands and they're tossed aside - Bond isn't tossed aside, we follow his story, we get to see him as a hero, but never the women, the women are the love interests, the sex partners, or the damsels in distress that he must rescue - Bond is male fantasy and escapism steeped in misogyny in how it views women - the women in Bond treat him like a sexual object because male writers CHOSE to write women falling prey to his charm

[@wompevents]

All the comments on here are spot-on, great interviewer!

[@jaqenhigar183]

He made bond more human outstanding performance as 007

[@Jojonny17]

This was a really great interview. I get where Daniel's coming from since this movie isn't even released (at least not in the States) and they're asking about doing another one and who's going to be next. Just enjoy the damn movie on our doorstep people. I would love to see him do another one, but just leave it at that

[@fanyadinya3869]

really love this interview... the interviewer girl is clever!

[@guileniam]

Love her eyes, summing about them

[@ush4441]

Best DC james bond is.. Casino Royale...

[@austinreed3360]

Best bond movie is.. Casino Royale...

[@TianFranklin]

Dr No. for sure ;)

[@VanLupen]

YES!!

[@VanLupen]

My second favorite is Quantum of Solace

[@SquealerDealer]

what's a does DC James Bond mean? plz help

[@BradleyCoopertest]

I would love to see Tom Hardy as the next 007.

[@MrIchbins666]

agreed ; he is a razorblade

[@GodOfVictory501]

Jesus no. He's insufferable.

[@Greg_14826]

Hardy's too big

[@benjaminroe1375]

Michael Fassbender as Bond. Joaquin Phoenix as the villain. That could be legendary!!

[@MrKC23]

[@barclayreginald161]

The Bond franchise pretty well burned itself out long ago and lost that magic it once had. Keeps returning like the common cold with a new face , but the same old tired secret agent trilogy thats been milked dry. Mr. Craig is making good bucks on this worn out franchise , good for him as long as he keep making other movies like Defiance I will continue to appreciate his talent as an actor.

[@yeonungkim8212]

seems like I'm not the only one who loves the interviewer!

[@imtheotherdave]

I've not seen Spectre yet but Skyfall was my favourite Bond film by far (and I don't say that lightly).

[@Noah-Lach]

Daniel Craig usually doesn't hide how bored these interviews make him... nice to see someone who asks good questions and actually get him somewhat excited.

[@robertmahn]

This is not his last one right? After seeing Spectre I really want him to stick around now.

[@QuebecQueen]

Ughh, Daniel, my love!

[@batmanfanizationreborn6055]

i loved spectre, christoph waltz and dave bautista could have been used more but in overall i think spectre is on par with skyfall. daniel craig embodies the best of roger moore, sean connery and pierce brosnan.

[@filippa187]

Is that Daniel Craig's real voice?

[@baliharsingh548]

Bless you. Daniel. Ready anytime. U. K. Army. 20. 20. All World.

[@meiltoo]

This is my fav bond and bond movie!!! Spretre is amazing! I it the day it debut

[@Ricardo7250]

Lol, Spectre was way more darker than Skyfall actually

[@piercemchugh4509]

I liked this movie. It was a nice mixture between traditional and fresh Bond.

[@citrus_studios_]

I love this man so much. He's so badass in the movie. A VERY great actor, perfect for the part.

[@octa9012]

Now i know that the opening scene will be in Mexico City with that helicopter. I guess will be the best opening, better than Quantum of Solace(I hope).

[@JulianVidal001]

'Too good to be green screen'? You've got to be kidding me. Did you see the building collapsing and how green screened that really looked? Other than that one comment she made, this interview is smooth and well executed.

[@007robotchicken]

That interviewer deserves a raise.

[@karanthesmashing]

I am awestruck by the way he composes his calm

[@rainbow8569]

She always does the best interviews and also one more guy i saw on marvel interviews

[@06livefast]

The last 2 JB including Spectre was a yawn. I like DC and he's my favourite bond yet, but Casino Royale was by far the best bond film with DC

[@wonderlxand]

I just saw Spectre today, and it was great, but Skyfall is amazing. I really did like movie, especially the "race against the clock" scene at the end (if you've seen it, you'd know what I mean). But at the end of the day, it could never beat Skyfall.

[@justyna_ha]

Daniel is the best Bond ever. I love him ♥

[@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK]

i thought the 'i like you as Bond' was a strange statement because it's a bit of an underwhelming compliment. As clearly one wouldnt say they 'like' Connnery as Bond. I dont think Craig took it that well too. I think you should say you love him as Bond or nothing at all.

[@peterdeakin8106]

Dan, you are such a cool dude, but hand on heart, you have massively improved the Bond franchise during your tenure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@TheMJKnight]

Daniel to me could have done better as Bond if he had a little more humour and charisma to the role. My favourite Bonds are Sean Connery because he's the OG and sold the role like a Champ, Timothy Dalton for his no nonsense just get on with it attitude but with time for humour and Pierce Brosnan because he was the best elements of different Bonds blended together. It's not Craig's fault. He's just going with the material he's being directed with but I've never been bowled over with his performances.

[@CristianLopez-hf2us]

Daniel craig is the worst bond ever no charisma, no personality, no swagger, mindless Moran you could put a dog in the his place and they will do better. bring back the real Bond

[@eramos8916]

+Cristian Lopez Daniel Craig is the best Bond, he portrays Ian Fleming's Bond well. Roger Moore is the worst Bond he made the characters look like a joke.

[@pro_master-en7dr]

What a nice interview :3 she is so nice! One of the most pleasant interviews I have ever seen. And Daniel

[@mick4dennis]

Finally a good interviewer!

[@lorism860]

I-i-s h-h-he ne-ne-r-vous ??

[@SadKeanu13]

Michael Fassbender 4 James Bond

[@terrysky83]

Spectre = spectacular disappointment

[@alexandre6438]

Michael fassbender for next bond!!

[@icedoatmilklatte910]

I REALLY hope he comes back for at least one more Bond movie. Awesome interview, by the way.

[@Herck]

talented interviewer

[@callumberriman5877]

A good interviewer most interviews just 'push' and 'push' about plot details blah blah which they both know they cant reveal and seem to intentionally make the star storm away to get more views. Yeah this was a good fresh take on interviewing

[@benmatheson1189]

Melissa Nathoo she is a very good interviewer

[@ederlopez2716]

Daniel Craigs, Best Bond films: 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Spectre 10. Quantum of shit

[@fanyadinya3869]

really love this interview... the interviewer girl is clever!

[@valeriobernardinis630]

its a cool interview and the movie is pretty nice

[@Osj.1]

Best james bond films is...SKYFALL

[@dvamateur]

Where was the Sony camera and Sony phone? I haven't seen those in the movie. I am utterly disappointed. If I paid for the movie I'd want my money back.

[@cassanova9322]

What's the name of the girl interviewing Daniel?what's her heritage?

[@Juan.Louis.]

He said make it great... yeah no ,nobody can pull of James Bond better than him. It's basically impossible because our expectations will be very high and if the next actor fails to live up... then the franchise is ruined from then on

[@Kwippy]

Arguably, Craig is the best actor that ever played Bond. Such a pity that his Bond films are so poor, with Spectre being the absolute worthless mess.

[@jqyhlmnp]

There's also the fact that if not enough people see the franchise, a lot of people will lose their jobs and the economy will be hit.... but you know

[@galaxymaster]

Just saw the movie and its really good. Skyfall had its ups and downs just like this movie and even the fantastic casino royal. Every Bond is better than Quantum shit

[@Detsu98]

Daniel is the best Bond!!! I hope he will do one more movie at least

[@bentrevino7887]

I hope as the movie ages people will see how good it really is.

[@RnBCutz]

Just because Skyfall was hyped up and made the most money, doesn't make it the best bond film. Casino Royale is still the best rated by many critics and fans

[@steveconn]

Too bad the opening scene and the train fight were the only fun things about Spectre.

[@rahmamd467]

Pierce Brosnan is my favorite james bond but Daniel Craig is my most favorite he did the role James Bond so Brilliant and I think new James Bond cannot do what daniel craig did as a bond.

[@claytonbaker49]

I don't know why people are saying it wasn't good! It was awesome! It reminded me of the old school bond with the Legendary Sean Connery!

[@saskruffriders8234]

+Clayton Baker Was it a good Bond? Yes. Was it great? No. it was TOO detailed. Too much on Moneypenny, Q and M. They need their 4 or 5 minutes then focus on the plot. Did we need to spend every three seconds of them on the train? Did Hinx need to have his 5 minutes of intro? i feel that they could've chopped 30 minutes from the movie and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference.

[@keithrobertson8101]

Daniel Craig probably the best bond no replacement for him in this role

[@keithrobertson8101]

+Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra your obviously fucking mad then

[@keithrobertson8101]

+Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra by the way that's not how you spell people

[@kninety2710]

That poster is distracting when the cameras switch.

[@06livefast]

Tom Hardy or Chris Hemsworth for the next Bond.

[@acollier]

Spectre was great, skyfall was better, casino royale is the best bond of all time

[@TheChefComic]

Does nobody watch your videos That you have to lie and use misleading titles ?

[@jexonesw2062]

Casino Royal still be the best for me #DanielCraigBestBond

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY DANIEL CRAIG !!!

[@foodreacts837]

he as talking about the next james bond, 6 years later he came back

[@Johntheninja100]

I think he should do two more!!!!

ooh gentleman, 007 Daniel Craig,

[@lorettalynndavis9695]

*FUCK YEAH, Can't wait to see it!!*

[@anthonyclerfont7553]

Mmmm That interviewer, tho. ❤

[@ALMXx317]

it was not as good as mission impossible and hitman :( still a good movie though

[@amerginmaceccit9054]

He deserves all the praise for taking Bond to a level beyond spooky reality of MI6. I wonder what is Bond afraid of the most? Personally I'm afraid of Global Warming Police... "Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to step away from the Sun! You've had your light for today!"

[@johnanthonyp]

No. Connery is mean. He's real and believable. He's a posh actor. Connery was a boxer, body builder, a milk man and on Manchester United's books
