So much so that the fifties actor did not want to be the sixth actor to embody James Bond, and to take over from Pierce Brosnan.In addition, alongside Sean Connery, Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig seemed to stand out that he did not have much in common with the famous character of Ian Fleming.

The role is not enough

The historic producer of James Bond, Barbara Broccoli, also had a lot of trouble convincing the actor, who was however his first choice. «Le gros problème était qu'il ne voulait pas le faire»»»» a-t-elle confié.Because even if the stories of the double agent in the service of the British crown make the actor dream from an early age, he also sees it as a danger concerning his private life which risks being exposed in broad daylight with a role ofThis magnitude.After accepting it, Daniel Craig still wanted to celebrate his decision.And what could be better to be (for once) in total osmosis with his new character than to celebrate the news with several vodkas martinis, favorite drink of the British spy.

Today, the role pursues him in real life.Recently, the English actor was appointed honorary commander by the Royal Navy, exactly the same grade as the British spy.And leaves behind him an immense question concerning his successor.
