Daniel Craig Recalls His Emotional Last Day Filming No Time To Die

The James Bond franchise has been passed down across generations, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Quite a few actors have played 007 throughout the decades, with the most recent being Daniel Craig. Craig will end his tenure as the the stylish martini drinking MI6 agent with Cary Joji Fukunaga’s No Time to Die, the 25th movie in the property. And the actor recently recounted his emotional last day on set at Bond.
No Time to Die mark Daniel Craig’s fifth James Bond movie, and the role of 007 is largely synonymous with the 51 year-old actor. There’s a ton of pressure to give his version of Bond a proper sendoff, especially as the the last few movies have embraced serialized storytelling. It was no doubt an intense experience to say goodbye to the character, and Craig recently spoke to his final day on set, saying:
Daniel Craig’s comments to Empire are in stark juxtaposition to the actor’s feelings about the franchise following the release of Spectre. He was famously quoted for saying he’d rather slash his wrists than play James Bond again. Obviously he changed his mind, and had one more massive blockbuster left in him. They’re just exhausting (and dangerous) movies to film and promote.
