From Theatre to 007: Daniel Craig’s Incredible Acting Journey | Parkinson

In 2006, Daniel Craig faced a wave of skepticism when he was cast as James Bond—critics said he was too small, too blond, too different. But then Casino Royale hit the big screen, and everything changed. In this candid interview, Craig reflects on the pressure of taking on 007, why he nearly turned it down, and how he approached the role differently from his predecessors.

He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with Judi Dench, Eva Green, and Hollywood legends like Paul Newman and Tom Hanks, offering insight into his journey from a young actor in London to a blockbuster star.
