Daniel Craig's Advice for the Next Bond - YouTube

>> James: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "NO TIME TO DIE,"

WHICH OPENS ONLY IN THEATERS, TOMORROW.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE MOVIE TO BOTH OF YOU.

I LOVED IT.

I FOUND IT MOVING, VERY EMOTIONAL, ACTUALLY.

RAMI, YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT VILLAIN IN THIS FILM.

I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW WHEN YOU GET THE CALL TO SAY WOULD YOU

LIKE TO BE IN A BOND-- HOW DOES IT HAPPEN.

THEY JUST DAY DO YOU WANT TO BE A BOND VILLAIN, DO YOU JUST SAY

YES.

>> YES.

>> James: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO THINK OF IT AT ALL.

>> NO, OF COURSE NOT, IT IS THE GREATEST FRANCHISE WE'VE KNOWN.

BACKBONE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY.

IT'S BOND.

AND IT'S HIS LAST ONE.

JONATHAN: YEAH.

>> NO-BRAINER.

>> James: YOU WERE JUST IN.

>> OF COURSE.

>> James: IT IS SUCH AN INTERESTING PREMISE.

I WONDER IF 2 WILL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN THAT THERE WOULD BE A ROLE

THAT IS PASSED ON AND DIFFERENT ACTORS TAKE ON THAT ROLE.

AND I FEEL LIKE, AND I THOUGHT THIS DURING THE LAST MOVIE

REALLY, THAT YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER ACTOR SORT OF HE SOLVED

THE CHARACTER AND HE SOLVED THE WORLD OF BOND PERHAPS MORE THAN

NIBBLES WHO PLAYED IT.

WAS THAT YOUR INTENTION WHEN YOU TOOK IT TON?

>> KIND-OF, YES-- KIND OF, YES, I JUST THOUGHT THAT HE WAS-- YOU

KNOW, LOTS OF PEOPLE, WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT ME PLAYING BOND WHEN

I FIRST GOT THE ROLE.

AND I THOUGHT WELL I HAVE TO TA PROACH IT, I AM JUST AN ACTOR, I

HAVE TO DIG IN AND FIND OUT WHAT HE IS ABOUT.

HE FELT SO COMPLICATED AND YOU KNOW, LOTS OF PROBLEMS.

I MEAN, AND WE HAVE THIS SORT OF GREAT SPIRIT AT THE BEGINNING,

HE FALLS MADLY IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY AND IT'S THE

THE-- EVERY TIME HE CAME TO MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE, SOMETIMES WE SAID

LET'S MAKE A STAND ALONE.

JUST A BOND MOVIE AND WE NEVER COULD LEAVE THAT STORY ALONE, IT

ALWAYS CAME INTO THE PLOT.

SO SHOW WE HAD THIS NARRATIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THAT, I

DON'T KNOW THAT FEELS VERY UNIQUE AND I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD

OF THE FACT WE HAVE DONE THAT.

BUT IT REALLY FEELS LIKE IT TIED THEM ALL TOGETHER.

>> James: YOU SAID THERE WERE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T

HAPPY, I DON'T ACTUALLY REMEMBER THAT THE WAY THAT WE ALL-- THAT

OFF US HUNG ON TO EVERYTHING EVER SAID ABOUT US.

WHEN THEY ANNOUNCE THE NEXT PERSON, WHOEVER THAT IS GOING TO

BE, THERE WILL WITHOUT QUESTION BE PERHAPS MORE THAN EVER IN THE

WAY THAT THE WORLD IS RIGHT KNOW, THERE WILL BE MORE

DISCUSSION AND OUTRAGE BECAUSE OUTRAGE IS NOW A HUGE CURRENCY

OF THE INTERNET, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO WHOEVER THAT

PERSON IS WHEN THAT NOISE STARTS TO BLOW UP AROUND THEM.

WHAT ADVICE.

>> YOU HAVE GOT TO IGNORE IT.

YOU HAVE STO LITERALLY, IT IS LIKE YOU CAN ONLY-- THERE IS

NOTHING YOU CAN DO.

IT IS KIND OF LIKE BULLYING OR WHATEVER IT IS.

YOU HAVE TO BLOCK IT OUT AND GET ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS.

DO YOUR JOB, DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S IT

REALLY.

I MEAN IT'S-- I WENT AND SAW HIM WHEN I GOT THE TIME, HE WAS

BRILLIANT.

HE JUST SAID ENJOY THE RIDE.

ENJOY IT AND I HAVE BEEN.

I JUST STOPPED ENJOYING IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

>> James: AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO MOVE ON, I'M VERY, VERY, VERY

EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

YOU AND RUTH NEGGA ARE GOING TO DO MacBETH ON BROADWAY.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYBODY HAS SEEN THE PHOTOS OF THIS.

NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE.

NOT A NATURAL ROAD FROM BOND THAT MANY PEOPLE DO.

AND I KNOW, YOU HAVE DONE SHAKESPEARE, YOU DIDOUTELIO,

ROMEO AND JULIET.

>> YEAH, YEAH, WITH THE NATIONAL YOUTH THEATER, NAY, IT-- YEAH,

IT WAS-- IT WASN'T GREAT.

>> James: WHY WAS IT NOT.

>> WE PLAYED TO QUITE EMPTY HOUSES.

WE WERE UP IN NEWCASTLE AND MOST MATINEES, SCHOOL MATINEES THEY

PACKED THEM OUT WITH SCHOOL KIDS, WHO DID NOT WANT TO BE

THERE.

>> THAT IS NOT FUN.

>> SO THEY WOULD START THROWING, THEIR OPAL FRUIT, STARBURST, AND

YOU GO-- OH MY GOD, THEY'RE THROWING THINGS.

AND IT HURTS WHEN THEY COME FROM AWHILE.

AND AFTER A WHILE I GOT SO SICK OF IT.

I JUST STARTED EATING THEM.

>> I BET THEY LOVED THAT.

>> OF COURSE.

>> WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS GUY TAKE ON A PLAY, WHEN IS HE

GOING TO HIT THE BOARDS.

>> I LOVE IT, MAN, 2 STARTED OUT THAT WAY, WENT TO UNIVERSITY TO

STUDY THEATER SO IT IS IN MY BLOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GO BACK BUT.

>> YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD.

>> IF THERE WAS A PLAY YOU COULD DO, PICK A PLAY, WHAT WOULD IT

BE?

>> I WOULD LOVE A CRACK AT THE CRUCIBLE.

>> OH YOU WOULD KILL IT.

>> WE WILL PLAY IT ALL FOR LAUGHS.

>> YEAH, WE WOULD.

WE DEFINITELY WOULD.

>> LISTEN, GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO THE SHOW, AND

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, DANIEL, ON A PHENOMENAL RUN AS JAMES

BOND.

I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH.

BLESS YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE
