- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood star Daniel Craig has blamed his James Bond fame for making him feel disconnected from the world.
-
- Craig started playing 007 with ‘Casino Royale’ in 2006. He was seen in the role in films ‘Quantum of Solace’ (2008), ‘Skyfall’ (2012), ‘Spectre’ (2015) – before concluding his run as the super-spy in ‘No Time to Die’ in 2021, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
-
- In an interview with Italy’s ‘Il Corriere della Sera’, Craig reflected on the overwhelming nature of celebrity he felt when he took the Bond role, he said: “Fame is disembodying. And no one teaches you how to be famous.
-
- “At the beginning, I hid away, I didn’t want to be around people, I no longer knew how to exist in the world. You do lose a part of your life.”
-
- Beyond Bond, Craig showcased his versatility with roles in ‘Knives Out’ in 2019, in which he played detective Benoit Blanc, a role he reprised in 2022’s ‘Glass Onion’. He also recently took on the character of hedonistic homosexual Joe in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’, a film adaptation of a William S Burroughs.
-
- The actor also tackled the nature of fame in today’s digital age in his new interview.
-
- He said: “In this world, where social media can make you famous overnight, people lose their minds.”
-
- The star emphasised the importance of staying grounded in showbiz, saying that acting can serve as “a way to stay connected to yourself and to the people around you.”.
-
- Daniel has picked up awards including a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor for ‘Casino Royale’.
-
- He is well known for appearing to sneer at the Bond franchise, famously saying in one interview he would rather “slash his wrists” than do another 007 film – before he went on to appear in more of the movies.
