What does playing James Bond, one of the most iconic characters in movie history, mean to Daniel Craig?
“I’d love to give you a very succinct and proper answer to that, but I don’t think I have one,” he says while discussing his move from Bond to Blanc. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It’s been a large part of my life and has taken up most of my working life for the past 17, 18 years now,” he says of #JamesBond. “To really put that into some sort of perspective, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do it. Really.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It’s just too big of a thing to really get into a pithy comment,” he tells Mark Olsen (@IndieFocus).
“It’s not that I’ll not want to, but to sort of sum it up, how does one sum that up?” latimes.com/entertainment-…
Craig’s recent work — his comedic #KnivesOut role, his explosive turn on Broadway and even Taika Waititi’s Belvedere ad that finds Craig dancing through a luxury hotel — point to an actor putting Bond behind him. But Craig takes issue with that assessment. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“You’re making the mistake that I somehow have a plan,” Craig said with a laugh. “I don’t give it that much thought. This isn’t post-Bond for me. I don’t have a game plan.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“They’re not like, ‘Oh, I need to do this now and I should do this and I should do this.’ I used to do that a little bit when I first got Bond … It’s a fool‘s errand,” says Craig. “#KnivesOut came along… None of us knew that it would be a success.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
