Agreed.

That's how you do it
I have a top 300 favorite movies list, and only three of them before this one made the list, but I am not sure where to put this latest as I watched it with an autistic boy who had to go to the bathroom twice and he sits for awhile. What I do know is that it made the list and was better than the other two by Daniel Craig, but I am not sure if it beat "Goldeneye." 140) 007: Goldeneye (1995) 191) 007: Quantum of Solace (2008) 249) 007: Skyfall (2012) So what I can say is that Daniel Craig made the top 200 for sure. I think it is going to fall out above 140 and making this the best series of James Bond ever.

Daniel seems so much happier in his No time to die interviews, I’ve never seen him laugh that much! It’s either: 1- his PR team told him to behave better to make sure this movie is a success 2- he’s more relaxed cause Bond is DONE 3- take some time off during the pandemic changed him and made him a happier person 4- all the above
@@pesonaxplora Casino Royale for sure, nothing will ever top that. This movie convinced me that Daniel is Bond, none of his other movies will ever have that big of an impact. I literally started the movie thinking “who’s that? The new Bond?!?” and by the end of the movie I was like “OMG he’s so cool and badass, mind blown 🤯 ” and became a fan!
Huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little girl and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy
Connery is the old heads’ favourite because he’s portrayed as a more ‘invulnerable’ bond, while Craig’s is more realistic with more human like emotions.
His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Thank you Daniel Craig. Casino Royale and Skyfall is my favorite Bond movies of all time. I'll miss you being Bond man. ❤️
I totally agree with you on Casino Royale and especially Skyfall as being the best Bond movies of all time. Craig rejuvenated the James Bond franchise and he will be missed.
Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input.
The Craig films feel more like Jason Bourne than the James Bond we know and love. I hope with Daniel’s successor they make Bond fun again. 2015’s ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ proved that a Moore Bond film still works in this century so no excuse
at least Daniel Craig was able to make non- Bond movies that really didn't typecast him to only doing Bond films. He is a very versatile actor who can do all sorts of different characters.
He looks really awkward in American talk shows. Probably because they're fake and scripted and cringe. This seems more like a genuine relaxed chat so he seems comfortable. It was cool seeing how fun and witty he actually is.
Since I was a kid I became a James Bond movie fan. I have everyone of them, each actor was great on their own terms, no matter of the limitations of the time. Daniel Craig excel 100% and bring the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig.
@@azfaratiq2426 I think it was a combination of injuries, fatigue and burn out, he was even talking about quitting Bond there & then I think he'd just had enough at that point
unbelievably high. Everyone knows Bond actors change and they're all different but his will be incredibly tough to remove the idea of anyone else playing the character. it truly is a game changer and he's changed that character forever
He was a force of nature, people were so against a blonde Bond but he was amazing because he’s a physical beast. Put his body on the line and made everyone before seem soft.
I disagree entirely, i think every Bond actor was very good in his Bond role. Connery was the OG. Lazeby had a completly different approach that was interessting. Moore was the suave spy who did not really enjoy all the action and killing and therefore a lot of his movies are very good spy movies. Dalton was phenomenal and for me the most truthfull to the Book Bond, which is no suprise since Dalton was a fan of the books. Brosnan started with an aboslute banger of a movie, made 2 good ones and one thats... kinda awfull and Craig did the same, he is a good Bond, but has 2 badly written movies on his resumee which taint his impact a bit. Nevertheless i loved all of the Bond actors and theire different approaches, i have no problem with the next "reboot" (if you can call it that anyway) being more of a spy movie and less of the action heist drama. The Bond franchise was always very well casted, which is especially true if you look at the original Q, M and Moneypenny who appeared in different Bond Versions.
Daniel Craig really elavated the James Bond franchise. I love the story behind how he started. A Rookie with double O Status with Vesper's betrayal turning him into a dangerous and vengeful bond. Now he is more merciful and sophisticated. He became the bond that would be a enormous challenge for the future bond actor to beat.
@Blah Blah Totally unnecessary; there are black people living everywhere in the world so why wouldn't there be black actors in the Bond universe? Seeing the state of the UK at the present moment I see nothing wrong with Bond being Black. Surely MI6 are recruiting black operatives.
@Jonh doe You must be joking . Black guys çan have just as much class as white guys. You have been watching too many rap videos and developed a bias opinion of black guys. I am white, gay and 70 yrs old so I probably know more about black guys with class than you do.
Daniel Craig was a great Bond. Craig’s version is closest to what Fleming envisioned. Over the years Bond was turned in to a caricature. Now it’s action packed and most importantly it’s great drama packed with emotion.
Great interview! It makes such a difference when the interviewer has the personality to engage and come up with interesting questions. I remember first hearing that Daniel Craig was to play bond and my response was, "Who is this guy? Why is he blonde? What's going on?" So I had fairly low expectations when I watched Casino Royale. However, the film blew me away and turned me into a true Daniel Craig believer. He's done an awesome job and although I love all the Bonds, he remains a definite favourite.
there will be nothing that can beat the charm of casino royale... that movie is so close to our hearts and one of the best of all times, gonna miss Daniel a lot, man im crying
@Patrick Whelpley Layer Cake was the making of his career. I truly believe it made the Broccoli's and the rest of the Bond team consider him for the role. And he did us all proud, our Blonde Bond.
He is the best. I love that he brought clear intelligence to be making lightening flash decisions under pressure, the physicality to run parkour in Casino Royale, but also having an emotional vulnerability while being impossibly cool which gives Craig’s Bond the most complexity of them all.
I'd seen Daniel Craig in a few movies prior to Casino Royale. I was thrilled when I heard he was the next Bond. One of my neighbors and a few others sneered at the thought of a blond guy playing Blond. She and the rest changed their tune after seeing the first film.
Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks.
@@jeaninepalstra1684 that’s fair enough, I was only stating my opinion. Sean was certainly more suave as James Bond but I like the new perspective that Daniel brought to the character where he was more cold and uncaring towards the killing aspect of the character.
@@jeaninepalstra1684 Lol the old Bond films and portrayals are at least 60 percent nostalgia, I much prefer craig's depiction and series, like maybe compared to films in the 60s the old bond films were great but watching them now in today's standards, the plot is relatively rudimentary, the fights and gun play are awful even the villains can't really compare, we have mads rami malek, mads mikkelsen and christoph waltz and even javier bardem. The only really bad film on Craig's era was quantum of solace, that shit was unsalvageable. Like I understand movies tend to have plot armor for main characters and that is inevitable, but watching the old bond films made be realize how insane plot armors old movies had.
Ali, great interviewer as always. Daniel, great actor and chill person. But the Edition Team on these clips, damn... Sharp and dynamic. The Storm Trooper dropping the gun bit, perfectly laid. Thanks for Quality content always!.
same. The older movies didn't do it for me. liked somewhat pierce brosnan but as I got older I stopped liking him. He was least convicing for playing a threathening guy and then Craig came, guys a total beast and that clicked. Became a fan instatnly, and to see that he's so cool off screen. I could only be jelous or inspired. I guess I'm a little of both.
His Bond is the only one to have any emotional depth it seems. The others are like caricatures, which is fine but in order to keep the franchise alive Bond needed to be made into a more dynamic character.
@@dotsanddash8083 Connery was charming but not a deep character, which is the case with the other Bonds as well. They're just personifications of charm or coolness whereas Craig's is more dynamic.
He literally shut me up. I didn't want to watch Bond movies when he became Bond. I was an idiot (probably still am). After years and years I watched Quantum of Solace. I loved it and thought: crap, I haven't seen Casino Royal. Then Skyfall came and to this day it is my favorite Bond-movie. I had to get used to the new vibe; bigger, more fighting, less charm and subtle stuff, but it worked out. He is simply amazing. Sorry for doubting.
My husband was the Bond fan. I was just his date. But the moment he flipped the Bond Girl thing on its head, coming out of the ocean on Bermuda, I was like Holy Shit this is MY Bond!
I was hesitant too. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, so I didn't know how to feel about a new guy taking over the role. Finally gave Casino Royale a chance, watched it a few times and warmed up him. Now I'm gonna miss Craig as Bond.
One of the great thing about the new Bond was that it was made in a period when audiences got bore with high-tech gadgets and silly actions, and began appreciating the same character being in a more realistic world. Like Nolan's Batman, the new Bond focused on how the team was built, with M, Q, Moneypenny and Felix, the continuity between each movie made it look like one long series.
Thank you for thanking him like that Ali, that’s exactly what I would say to him right now after these 15 years. And exactly the way you said it. It’s left such an impact on me, more than I ever thought a Bond movie would, and I’m very grateful to Daniel for bringing such amazing life to him. And once again, wonderful interview.
Wow i just watched the gq "interview" before this one and you can instantly tell how good Ali is as an interviewer. Daniel is just so much more himself, relaxed and seems to actually enjoy it.
We'll all surely miss Craig as 007. He helped bring the character to a whole new generation of fans who, like me, got introduced into this world through his movies. I can't wait to see No Time to Die over and over again!
@@Matt90Nine lol hell no. I can watch Die another day a million times than anything forgettable that Craig made. Jesus Christ what a boring Bond; you're better off watching the Bourne Identity series.
He likes to have a laugh and giggle on set? I really, really didn't expect that. I see him being a seriously serious and moody individual. A pleasant surprise if not
The people who tend to have great serious roles tend to be very comedic in nature tbh. Same with Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad, with him doing Malcolm in the Middle before that. Jim Carrey with countless roles.
@@umeshgaarbala9546 Also Vin Diesel who plays Torreto tough guy but Vin is a such a sweet guy in real life ! Chris Evans who played Captain America full serious but Chris in his life is funny guy ! That's acting !
Craig can play pretty humorous characters. Go check Knives out, he def can put some “comedic” vibes into a role, not that much of a surprise if you ask me ;)
it's gonna be emotional seeing his last film as bond. I've been rooting for him all the way since Layer Cake. I believe he essentially became bond from thenon. I hope he can create another legacy with knives out.
He looks so happy to be where he is. Older, wiser and having lived through one of the best experiences an actor or really anyone can have. I sincerely hope the next 007, whether that be a new Bond or even a different character altogether, has the best opportunities ahead of them.
Dammit, I HAVE to live long enough to see this film. Followed this remarkable actor for a long time now, A hero indeed precisely because of his restraint
If you ever read the books, you´ll find out the character isn´t without warmth. He is haunted by the memory of his first kill: drowning an enemy agent in a sink.
@@spartan.falbion2761 I've actually never read the books! I feel like previous bond movies made it all a little silly for me so i never bothered to get to know the character?
The.most relaxed I've ever seen him in an interview. Might be because he's not stuffed into a suit. But then, this interviewer is excellent at keeping the mood mellow and good humoured. He did a similar interview with Tom Cruise, which is well worth a look.
Daniel and everyone in the production team kept the bar high from the very first movie till the latest! It's a great achievement and probably feels as a huge weight is now lift off his shoulders. He deserves all the happiness and praise.
Literally grew up watching Daniel Craig's James Bond. I was 7 years old when the first one came out and now I am 22 when it ends, my favorite childhood movies are coming to a close :(
Myself I started with the first Bond movie, "Dr. No" being chased by James Bond 007 in 1962, 7 years old, the Aston Martin high on my list for Xmas! Ever since I awaited eagerly the next Bond movie and with a few exceptions I was never disappointed. A nice side effect of all these movies is the fact that you get to see all the nice places on earth without, cueing, lifting your jacket, shoes, belt and not having to test for C-19.
Layer Cake is how James Bond happened, there’s the scene in it where Colin Meaney is sitting down with xxxx character as he chooses a gun to perform an assignation of Jimmy Price, on selecting the specific one Craig proceeds to move around the apartment in a secret agent mimic ‘on the original dvds Meaney’s character references ‘ah, for fucksake, give him a gun and he thinks he’s James Bond’, those early dvds where withdrawn and replaced with an edited version removing that specific reference
You've either made that up or are remembering incorrectly. I worked for Odeon Cinemas from 2001 to 2008 as a projectionist. Layer Cake was released in October 2004. Never mind DVDs, I watched the original cinema print of Layer Cake and there is no such reference to Bond in that scene. Meaney's (who plays Gene in the film) line when XXXX picks up the gun is "Ah for fucksake" followed by "Here, let me see if it's loaded". So unless you are suggesting they added the line for the DVD release and then recalled the DVDs to replace them with an edited version at high costs (Layer Cake had a relatively modest budget to begin with), then like I mentioned above, you are either mistaken or telling porkies.
I was raised on Daniel Craig’s James Bond so seeing him go after so many fantastic films is a little bittersweet. All the best to whoever tries to fill the massive massive shoes he has left
God, I’m really gonna miss his portrayal, but I’m just so happy he came back to do one more. He’s genuinely my favorite bond, and the next bond actor is gonna have some BIG shoes to fill. Can’t wait to see the films that Daniel Craig does going forward; he’s an amazing actor.
I just watched it in theaters in korea. this was the best since casino royale. such a perfect finale and it totally kept the 007 legacy. daniel craig was the essence of 007 and himself as an actor...i was a teenager when casino royle came out and now i'm thirty. I'm mostly saddened but also so happy that i've followd him all these years. he is the best james bond ever. man...so many feelings...feelings.
Great interview. Very smooth, not boring. Very charming. The feedbacks between the two gave great chemistry. Daniel Craigs smile and laughter lit up the place. The interviewer's whole presence helped relax the environment. Good job.
When I watch Ali's interviews, I know beforehand that an actor will be relaxed, in a great mood, giggling and sharing things you never heard before. Not as guarded and more sincere.
What an incredible gentleman and he has great humility and humour. My favourite Bond as well. For those who love Craig's work I can highly recommend Archangel, filmed in Russia 2005. It is a ripper of a thriller and his character has a bit of Bond in it. It also has a strong, beautiful character who works as an equal next to him played by Ekaterina Rednikova.
I was 15 when Daniel Craig became James Bond and now I’m 30 watching his reign as the most complex and best Bond ever come to an end. Thank You Daniel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank You Daniel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@verona8144 dafuq, Casino Royale and Skyfall are the best Bond films. Quantum of Solace and Spectre are pretty decent, i’m in the minority that likes Spectre more than Quantum of Solace

Just saw this movie last night for the second time,I hadn't seen many Bond films in the last 10 years though.But I love this film,such a warm,humble guy Daniel is and is very dedicated to keeping in great shape for 007's duties.Thank God for such dedication and great qualities.This film is really beautiful in so many ways and very emotional.Thank you Daniel and everybody involved in making this film
Great interview bro! I'm really gonna miss Daniel as Bond because he brought a serious realism to the role that was more true to the original Bond character in Ian's books. ALL of the actors over the years who have portrayed Bond did a wonderful job of it, in their own style and way. I grew up with him and a bloody yank at that! I will ALWAYS be a huge fan!
I don't think Daniel understood Ali's comment at the end: "You've been brilliant" It sounded like "for this interview", But I think he meant "as Bond". Because he is. The best Bond ever (sorry Sean).
He'll be dearly missed in this role. When I saw Casino Royale, Bond finally made sense to me, no previous incarnations actually made such an impact. See you next weekend in actual cinema Mr Bond!
The Craig films feel more like Jason Bourne than the James Bond we know and love. I hope with Daniel’s successor they make Bond fun again. 2015’s ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ proved that a Moore Bond film still works in this century so no excuse

Finally someone with a well balanced opinion.
Its crazy how relaxed and refreshed he seems now compared to the press tour for Spectre, he seemed like a broken man at that point
What happened during Spectre?
@@azfaratiq2426 Hardcore injuries.
@@azfaratiq2426 I think it was a combination of injuries, fatigue and burn out, he was even talking about quitting Bond there & then I think he'd just had enough at that point
But he came back and I’m glad, and I think he’s happy because while he may have been burned out he was able to see it through and do it right.
He had a broken leg for the majority of filming lol
He's set the bar so Fucking high, it's really gonna be hard for anyone who does it next....... Impossible to be honest.....
For sure i take it shaked and kinda shy in Service
unbelievably high. Everyone knows Bond actors change and they're all different but his will be incredibly tough to remove the idea of anyone else playing the character. it truly is a game changer and he's changed that character forever
Nah calm down
He was a force of nature, people were so against a blonde Bond but he was amazing because he’s a physical beast. Put his body on the line and made everyone before seem soft.
I disagree entirely, i think every Bond actor was very good in his Bond role. Connery was the OG. Lazeby had a completly different approach that was interessting. Moore was the suave spy who did not really enjoy all the action and killing and therefore a lot of his movies are very good spy movies. Dalton was phenomenal and for me the most truthfull to the Book Bond, which is no suprise since Dalton was a fan of the books. Brosnan started with an aboslute banger of a movie, made 2 good ones and one thats... kinda awfull and Craig did the same, he is a good Bond, but has 2 badly written movies on his resumee which taint his impact a bit. Nevertheless i loved all of the Bond actors and theire different approaches, i have no problem with the next "reboot" (if you can call it that anyway) being more of a spy movie and less of the action heist drama. The Bond franchise was always very well casted, which is especially true if you look at the original Q, M and Moneypenny who appeared in different Bond Versions.
Daniel Craig really elavated the James Bond franchise. I love the story behind how he started. A Rookie with double O Status with Vesper's betrayal turning him into a dangerous and vengeful bond. Now he is more merciful and sophisticated. He became the bond that would be a enormous challenge for the future bond actor to beat.
@Blah Blah your name is quite relevant as that’s exactly what I heard when I read your comment
@Blah Blah Totally unnecessary; there are black people living everywhere in the world so why wouldn't there be black actors in the Bond universe? Seeing the state of the UK at the present moment I see nothing wrong with Bond being Black. Surely MI6 are recruiting black operatives.
@Jonh doe You must be joking . Black guys çan have just as much class as white guys. You have been watching too many rap videos and developed a bias opinion of black guys. I am white, gay and 70 yrs old so I probably know more about black guys with class than you do.
@Danny Archer I am sure they do and of all different ethnics.
Daniel Craig was a great Bond. Craig’s version is closest to what Fleming envisioned. Over the years Bond was turned in to a caricature. Now it’s action packed and most importantly it’s great drama packed with emotion.
Definitive Bond of a generation! Will be really hard to top him. Love you Daniel!
Interviewer was excellent. Very natural and not overly fan boy.
Great interview! It makes such a difference when the interviewer has the personality to engage and come up with interesting questions. I remember first hearing that Daniel Craig was to play bond and my response was, "Who is this guy? Why is he blonde? What's going on?" So I had fairly low expectations when I watched Casino Royale. However, the film blew me away and turned me into a true Daniel Craig believer. He's done an awesome job and although I love all the Bonds, he remains a definite favourite.
there will be nothing that can beat the charm of casino royale... that movie is so close to our hearts and one of the best of all times, gonna miss Daniel a lot, man im crying
Charm just busting out of him. He's up there with the best and most iconic Bond actors.
Please, he hates bond and these kinds of films. He doesn't understand how they are still being made.

calm down there, no one can top Sean Connery
@@memphisdepay2935 I agree too ! Craig is the best Bond ! so....
He was great in our friends up north
Him and Mark Strong were brilliant in that.
@Patrick Whelpley Layer Cake was the making of his career. I truly believe it made the Broccoli's and the rest of the Bond team consider him for the role. And he did us all proud, our Blonde Bond.
He'll always be Geordie to me.
He is the best. I love that he brought clear intelligence to be making lightening flash decisions under pressure, the physicality to run parkour in Casino Royale, but also having an emotional vulnerability while being impossibly cool which gives Craig’s Bond the most complexity of them all.
I'd seen Daniel Craig in a few movies prior to Casino Royale. I was thrilled when I heard he was the next Bond. One of my neighbors and a few others sneered at the thought of a blond guy playing Blond. She and the rest changed their tune after seeing the first film.
Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks.
Lol i actually think he’s one of the weaker ones. Sean Connery is my favourite
@@jeaninepalstra1684 that’s fair enough, I was only stating my opinion. Sean was certainly more suave as James Bond but I like the new perspective that Daniel brought to the character where he was more cold and uncaring towards the killing aspect of the character.
@@paulrhyslloyd1 HEY PAUL ARE YOU 12 YEARS OLD?
@@erikburgerchronicles3990 no why?
@@jeaninepalstra1684 Lol the old Bond films and portrayals are at least 60 percent nostalgia, I much prefer craig's depiction and series, like maybe compared to films in the 60s the old bond films were great but watching them now in today's standards, the plot is relatively rudimentary, the fights and gun play are awful even the villains can't really compare, we have mads rami malek, mads mikkelsen and christoph waltz and even javier bardem. The only really bad film on Craig's era was quantum of solace, that shit was unsalvageable. Like I understand movies tend to have plot armor for main characters and that is inevitable, but watching the old bond films made be realize how insane plot armors old movies had.
Daniel is definitely my favorite Bond
100%
No one can top Craig. Will be sorely missed as Bond, but best of luck Daniel on all future endeavors 💗
he reinvented the caracter 100 %, we´ll miss him for sure, let´s just hope the next 007 is nearly as great as this one
Ali, great interviewer as always. Daniel, great actor and chill person. But the Edition Team on these clips, damn... Sharp and dynamic. The Storm Trooper dropping the gun bit, perfectly laid. Thanks for Quality content always!.
Great actor lol I do hope that was sarcasm
@@desolateones Are you feeling desolated now?
Daniel is the most professional 007 I have ever seen till date.
Also the best detective Benoit Blanc so far :)
One of the best bond actor, will miss him
Unpopular opinion.... I think Daniel Craig didn't fit the role. To me I don't see him as a James bond at all.
@@Skullkid64 Craig is up their with Connery and Dalton. They captured Ian Fleming's Bond.

The best*
@@oladiger2 Not even close
He's much more comfortable doing interviews than when he started.
The Ali Effect
Age
You could argue that it is relief, cos during his interviews when he was bond, he had a lot of stress
Universally likeable guy, amazing james bond, fantastic actor.
The insuperable and utmost compatible interviewer ever. Period.
He’s so nice
He is the only Bond that made me interested in the franchise. Gonna miss him 💕
Found the zoomer lol
Lol you haven’t seen other bonds then, You mean to say sean Connery didn’t charm you? 😂
same. The older movies didn't do it for me. liked somewhat pierce brosnan but as I got older I stopped liking him. He was least convicing for playing a threathening guy and then Craig came, guys a total beast and that clicked. Became a fan instatnly, and to see that he's so cool off screen. I could only be jelous or inspired. I guess I'm a little of both.
His Bond is the only one to have any emotional depth it seems. The others are like caricatures, which is fine but in order to keep the franchise alive Bond needed to be made into a more dynamic character.
@@dotsanddash8083 Connery was charming but not a deep character, which is the case with the other Bonds as well. They're just personifications of charm or coolness whereas Craig's is more dynamic.
I loved Sean Connery as Bond, but no one will be able to eclipse Daniel Craig. He is the best!
He literally shut me up. I didn't want to watch Bond movies when he became Bond. I was an idiot (probably still am). After years and years I watched Quantum of Solace. I loved it and thought: crap, I haven't seen Casino Royal. Then Skyfall came and to this day it is my favorite Bond-movie. I had to get used to the new vibe; bigger, more fighting, less charm and subtle stuff, but it worked out. He is simply amazing. Sorry for doubting.
You weren’t the only one. Now he’s my favorite Bond 👍🏻
My husband was the Bond fan. I was just his date. But the moment he flipped the Bond Girl thing on its head, coming out of the ocean on Bermuda, I was like Holy Shit this is MY Bond!
I was hesitant too. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, so I didn't know how to feel about a new guy taking over the role. Finally gave Casino Royale a chance, watched it a few times and warmed up him. Now I'm gonna miss Craig as Bond.
One of the great thing about the new Bond was that it was made in a period when audiences got bore with high-tech gadgets and silly actions, and began appreciating the same character being in a more realistic world. Like Nolan's Batman, the new Bond focused on how the team was built, with M, Q, Moneypenny and Felix, the continuity between each movie made it look like one long series.
Did you ever watch Casino Royale after all? It was very good in my opinion.
Never seen a Daniel Craig interview before but Ali seems to make everyone he interviews happy
It pleases my heart to know that he is as lovely and personable in person as I hoped he might be.
Thank you for thanking him like that Ali, that’s exactly what I would say to him right now after these 15 years. And exactly the way you said it. It’s left such an impact on me, more than I ever thought a Bond movie would, and I’m very grateful to Daniel for bringing such amazing life to him. And once again, wonderful interview.
Wow i just watched the gq "interview" before this one and you can instantly tell how good Ali is as an interviewer. Daniel is just so much more himself, relaxed and seems to actually enjoy it.
We'll all surely miss Craig as 007. He helped bring the character to a whole new generation of fans who, like me, got introduced into this world through his movies. I can't wait to see No Time to Die over and over again!
Daniel says he hopes he's left Bond in a better place than where he found it..
Job done a million times over I'd say 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@Matt90Nine …by leaps and bounds.
He says '...as good a place..' not better. Pay attention at the back! 🙄 😂
Been a bond fan for many years, Daniel Craig imo has been the best.
@@Matt90Nine lol hell no. I can watch Die another day a million times than anything forgettable that Craig made. Jesus Christ what a boring Bond; you're better off watching the Bourne Identity series.
He likes to have a laugh and giggle on set? I really, really didn't expect that. I see him being a seriously serious and moody individual. A pleasant surprise if not
The people who tend to have great serious roles tend to be very comedic in nature tbh. Same with Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad, with him doing Malcolm in the Middle before that. Jim Carrey with countless roles.
@@umeshgaarbala9546 Also Vin Diesel who plays Torreto tough guy but Vin is a such a sweet guy in real life ! Chris Evans who played Captain America full serious but Chris in his life is funny guy ! That's acting !
I now imagine him on the set of "Knives Out" having the time of his life.
Craig can play pretty humorous characters. Go check Knives out, he def can put some “comedic” vibes into a role, not that much of a surprise if you ask me ;)
it's gonna be emotional seeing his last film as bond. I've been rooting for him all the way since Layer Cake. I believe he essentially became bond from thenon. I hope he can create another legacy with knives out.
Well this is just delightful.
He looks so happy to be where he is. Older, wiser and having lived through one of the best experiences an actor or really anyone can have. I sincerely hope the next 007, whether that be a new Bond or even a different character altogether, has the best opportunities ahead of them.
Dammit, I HAVE to live long enough to see this film. Followed this remarkable actor for a long time now, A hero indeed precisely because of his restraint
Its out next week, I hope you're planning on living well beyond then!
He really grew on me. I was very skeptical about Daniel Craig when he first took on 007 role, but I'm glad he did.
I’m aware that the man has done press all this years but it truly feels like we are just getting to know him and I kinda love it
THE BEST James Bond So human and believable, love your humour!
basically Bond turned Bourne
@@anitaweasel Nothing wrong with that, more grounded, more in touch with modern audiences.
@@OneAndOnlyMe I agree
He is such a lovely and warm person, it really surprises me every time because he often plays these cold guys
If you ever read the books, you´ll find out the character isn´t without warmth. He is haunted by the memory of his first kill: drowning an enemy agent in a sink.
@@spartan.falbion2761 I've actually never read the books! I feel like previous bond movies made it all a little silly for me so i never bothered to get to know the character?
That's what makes him an outstanding actor, is playing a part completely opposite his own personality.
The.most relaxed I've ever seen him in an interview. Might be because he's not stuffed into a suit. But then, this interviewer is excellent at keeping the mood mellow and good humoured. He did a similar interview with Tom Cruise, which is well worth a look.
Daniel Craig has been Bond for almost my entire life and will always be the best to me
Daniel and everyone in the production team kept the bar high from the very first movie till the latest! It's a great achievement and probably feels as a huge weight is now lift off his shoulders. He deserves all the happiness and praise.
Really gonna miss Daniel Craig. Loved his take on the role.
Literally grew up watching Daniel Craig's James Bond. I was 7 years old when the first one came out and now I am 22 when it ends, my favorite childhood movies are coming to a close :(
Time is a crazy thing. I was 16 when casino royale came out and it doesn’t feel like any time has passed… but for you I bet it feels like a lifetime!
Myself I started with the first Bond movie, "Dr. No" being chased by James Bond 007 in 1962, 7 years old, the Aston Martin high on my list for Xmas! Ever since I awaited eagerly the next Bond movie and with a few exceptions I was never disappointed. A nice side effect of all these movies is the fact that you get to see all the nice places on earth without, cueing, lifting your jacket, shoes, belt and not having to test for C-19.
What a great actor and what a humble person. I am so happy he got to play Bond
Layer Cake is how James Bond happened, there’s the scene in it where Colin Meaney is sitting down with xxxx character as he chooses a gun to perform an assignation of Jimmy Price, on selecting the specific one Craig proceeds to move around the apartment in a secret agent mimic ‘on the original dvds Meaney’s character references ‘ah, for fucksake, give him a gun and he thinks he’s James Bond’, those early dvds where withdrawn and replaced with an edited version removing that specific reference
Definitely.
Layer Cake is a wine......
You've either made that up or are remembering incorrectly. I worked for Odeon Cinemas from 2001 to 2008 as a projectionist. Layer Cake was released in October 2004. Never mind DVDs, I watched the original cinema print of Layer Cake and there is no such reference to Bond in that scene. Meaney's (who plays Gene in the film) line when XXXX picks up the gun is "Ah for fucksake" followed by "Here, let me see if it's loaded". So unless you are suggesting they added the line for the DVD release and then recalled the DVDs to replace them with an edited version at high costs (Layer Cake had a relatively modest budget to begin with), then like I mentioned above, you are either mistaken or telling porkies.
What a charming man. Delightful interview with the most intelligent interviewer I have ever heard. Thank you so much.
I was raised on Daniel Craig’s James Bond so seeing him go after so many fantastic films is a little bittersweet. All the best to whoever tries to fill the massive massive shoes he has left
God, I’m really gonna miss his portrayal, but I’m just so happy he came back to do one more. He’s genuinely my favorite bond, and the next bond actor is gonna have some BIG shoes to fill. Can’t wait to see the films that Daniel Craig does going forward; he’s an amazing actor.
100% with you on this, I'm hopeful about the next Bond, but Craig's legacy is a big one right now
I just watched it in theaters in korea. this was the best since casino royale. such a perfect finale and it totally kept the 007 legacy. daniel craig was the essence of 007 and himself as an actor...i was a teenager when casino royle came out and now i'm thirty. I'm mostly saddened but also so happy that i've followd him all these years. he is the best james bond ever. man...so many feelings...feelings.
Great interview. Very smooth, not boring. Very charming. The feedbacks between the two gave great chemistry. Daniel Craigs smile and laughter lit up the place. The interviewer's whole presence helped relax the environment. Good job.
When I watch Ali's interviews, I know beforehand that an actor will be relaxed, in a great mood, giggling and sharing things you never heard before. Not as guarded and more sincere.
My favourite Bind of all, and dragged the franchise off it’s knees. Such a gent in this interview too.
Thank you for your service Mr. Bond.
One of the best chat between a journalist and actor I have seen (or heard) ... Super nice!
Very natural interview, glad to see Craig again
What an incredible gentleman and he has great humility and humour. My favourite Bond as well. For those who love Craig's work I can highly recommend Archangel, filmed in Russia 2005. It is a ripper of a thriller and his character has a bit of Bond in it. It also has a strong, beautiful character who works as an equal next to him played by Ekaterina Rednikova.
I was 15 when Daniel Craig became James Bond and now I’m 30 watching his reign as the most complex and best Bond ever come to an end.

Daniel Craig was by far my favorite bond thanks for all the great movies👍🏻
Great interview bro! I'm really gonna miss Daniel as Bond because he brought a serious realism to the role that was more true to the original Bond character in Ian's books. ALL of the actors over the years who have portrayed Bond did a wonderful job of it, in their own style and way. I grew up with him and a bloody yank at that! I will ALWAYS be a huge fan!
Oh yes he's one of the best I love seeing his movies
I don't think Daniel understood Ali's comment at the end: "You've been brilliant"
It sounded like "for this interview",
But I think he meant "as Bond".
Because he is.
The best Bond ever (sorry Sean).
Watched (NO TIME TO DIE) on September 30th and after watching the film i can't see anyone doing 007 better then Daniel Craig. End of Era
He'll be dearly missed in this role. When I saw Casino Royale, Bond finally made sense to me, no previous incarnations actually made such an impact. See you next weekend in actual cinema Mr Bond!
It's not a sequel to 50 shades.
Learned it was Baccarat!!!!! Still do not know how to play it!!!
The Craig films feel more like Jason Bourne than the James Bond we know and love. I hope with Daniel’s successor they make Bond fun again. 2015’s ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ proved that a Moore Bond film still works in this century so no excuse
The fact that Daniel Craig did one of the most self-assured characters in all movie history and he avoids eye contact in real person 😂, anyways hi is amazing !
