- 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.
