Bond Daniel Craig gets emotional as No Time to Die wraps filming
Actor Daniel Craig was visibly emotional as he bid adieu to his latest James Bond film.
The 51-year-old delivered a heartfelt speech thanking the cast and crew for all their hard work on the upcoming film, No Time To Die, at the movie’s wrap party, reported People.
“I just want to say — and I am really quite drunk now so I won’t go on for long — this has been one of the best, most wonderful experiences I have ever had,” Craig said.
He continued, “You have all done the most amazing job. I could not be more proud to work with every single one of you on this production. I would like to thank you for this evening, for Barbara (Broccoli, producer), for putting it on. Thank goodness, we did this tonight.”
The upcoming flick, directed by Cary Fukunaga, will follow Craig’s character, Bond, living a life outside of the service in Jamaica, before his former colleague Felix Leiter asks for his help in rescuing a kidnapped scientist. The film will also see Christoph Waltz reprise his role as James Bond’s archenemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
The film has a star-studded cast including Lea Seydoux, Billy Magnussen, Rami Malek, Ben Whishaw, Ana de Armas, and Ralph Fiennes as M.
Craig, who is returning for his fifth appearance as the agent, will reportedly be playing the character for the last time. The film has had a tumultuous journey with reports of issues, including delays due to Craig’s ankle injury, Rami Malek’s conflicting schedule, on set explosions and actor Grace Jones disappointed by the size of her cameo role.
