Daniel Wroughton Craig was born on 2 March 1968 in Chester, Cheshire, as the son of an art teacher, Carol Olivia (née Williams), and Timothy John Wroughton Craig, a midshipman in the Merchant Navy and steel erector. His father later became the landlord of two Cheshire pubs: the Ring o' Bells in Frodsham and the Boot Inn in Tarporley.[4] Craig has an older sister named Lea (born 1965),[5] and a younger half-brother named Harry (1991).[6] He is of part Welsh and distant French descent, counting the French Huguenot minister Daniel Chamier and Sir William Burnaby, 1st Baronet among his ancestors. His middle name, Wroughton, comes from his great-great-grandmother, Grace Matilda Wroughton.[7]
Craig began acting in school plays at the age of six, making his debut in the Frodsham Primary School production of Oliver! He became interested in serious acting by attending Liverpool's Everyman Theatre with his mother. At the age of 14 in 1982, he played roles in Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella at Hilbre High School. In 1984, he was accepted into the National Youth Theatre and moved to London, where he worked part-time in restaurants to finance his education. His parents watched his stage debut as Agamemnon in Troilus And Cressida. He performed with the National Youth Theatre on tours to Valencia and Moscow under the leadership of director Edward Wilson. He entered the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1988, and graduated in 1991 after a three-year course under the tutelage of Colin McCormack, an actor from the Royal Shakespeare Company.[5]
In the same year, Craig guest-starred in an episode of the HBO horror anthology series Tales from the Crypt and was featured in the BBC television film Saint-Ex.[29][30] Craig gave a lead performance in the Franco-German drama Obsession in 1997, about a love triangle between Craig's character and a couple.[31] The same year, he played a leading role in Hurlyburly, a play performed in the West End at the Old Vic.[32]
The crime thriller Layer Cake, directed by Matthew Vaughn, starred Craig as an unnamed London-based cocaine supplier known only as "XXXX" in the film's credits.[57] Kevin Crust, writing for the Los Angeles Times, praised Craig's "stunningly suave performance", while Roger Ebert thought he was "fascinating" in the film.[58][59] Craig next starred as a man who is stalked by a stranger (played by Rhys Ifans) after they witness a deadly accident together in Enduring Love (2004).[60][61]
In 2005, Craig was contacted by Eon Productions to portray James Bond. Initially, he was unsure about the role and was resistant to the producers' overtures. "There was a period of trying to woo him" longtime Bond co-producer Barbara Broccoli later commented in 2012.[70] During this period, he sought advice from colleagues and friends, of whom "most of us said to him...'there is life after Bond'.".[71] He stated he "was aware of the challenges" of the Bond franchise, which he considered "a big machine that makes a lot of money". He aimed at bringing more "emotional depth" to the character.[72] Born in 1968, Craig is the first actor to portray James Bond to have been born after the Bond series started and after the death of Ian Fleming, the novels' writer.
Craig's casting as Bond caused some controversy due to his physical appearance. Some fans considered the blond-haired, 5-foot-10-inch-tall (1.78 m) Craig to not fit the image of the taller, dark-haired Bond portrayed by the previous actors.[73] Throughout the entire production period, Internet campaigns expressed their dissatisfaction and threatened to boycott the film in protest.[74] Although the choice of Craig was controversial, numerous actors publicly voiced their support. Most notably four of the five actors who had previously portrayed Bond – Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton – called his casting a good decision.[75][76] Connery notably shared his thoughts on Craig's casting as Bond in 2008, describing him as "fantastic, marvelous in the part". The other actor to have previously played Bond, George Lazenby, has since voiced his approval of Craig, as well.[77]Clive Owen, who had been linked to the role, also spoke in defence of Craig.[78]
The first film, Casino Royale, premiered on 14 November 2006, and grossed US$594,239,066 worldwide, which made it the highest-grossing Bond film until the release of Skyfall.[79] After the film was released, Craig's performance garnered critical acclaim.[80][81] Craig lent his voice and likeness as James Bond for both the Wii game GoldenEye 007, an enhanced remake of the 1997 game for the Nintendo 64, and James Bond 007: Blood Stone.[82] In addition to Casino Royale, Craig also appeared in two more films in 2006: the drama Infamous as mass murderer Perry Edward Smith and as the voice of the lead character in the English-language version of the French animated film Renaissance.[83][84][85] In 2006, Craig was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[86]
The planned 19 April 2010 release of Craig's third Bond film was delayed, because of financial troubles; the film, titled Skyfall, was eventually released on 23 October 2012.[103][104] The same year, he appeared as James Bond in the short film Happy and Glorious, in which he escorted Queen Elizabeth II to the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.[105][106] He and his wife Weisz starred in a Broadway play titled Betrayal, which ran from October 2013 to January 2014.[107][108] Despite mixed reviews, it grossed $17.5 million, becoming the second highest earning Broadway play of 2013.[109] Craig's fourth Bond film, Spectre, began filming in December 2014 and was released on 26 October 2015. His first four Bond films have grossed $3.5 billion globally, after adjusting for inflation.[110]
After experiencing delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Craig's fifth Bond film, No Time to Die, was released in September 2021, receiving favourable reviews.[123][124] Craig says No Time to Die was his last film as James Bond.[125][126] Two days before the film's release in the US, Craig was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which is located at 7007 Hollywood Boulevard (a reference to Bond's code number "007"), and next to the star of fellow Bond actor Roger Moore.[127]
2022–present: Post-Bond work
In 2022, Craig starred in a contemporary revival of Macbeth opposite Ruth Negga on Broadway. Variety described his performance writing "Craig has some strong moments but does not capture the transformation of Macbeth into a power-hungry tyrant."[128]The Guardian's Alexis Soloski rated the production 3/5, stating, "...Craig's burly Macbeth, clad handsomely in Suttirat Larlab's modern dress costumes, is every inch a man of action and a soldier, even in a silky bathrobe, entirely convincing in motion, less persuasive when zipping through Macbeth's equivocations."[129]
Craig also starred in Glass Onion, a sequel to Knives Out directed by Johnson.[130] He had reportedly signed on for a third Benoit Blanc film titled Wake Up Dead Man,[131] with Johnson to direct again.[132]
Charity and humanitarian work
In 2007, Craig and British Prime Minister Tony Blair took part in the United Kingdom's Comic Relief charity fundraiser, ultimately raising more than USD $90 million. Craig made a cameo appearance as himself in a sketch with Catherine Tate who appeared in the guise of her character Elaine Figgis from The Catherine Tate Show, for the BBC Red Nose Day 2007 fundraising programme.[133] Craig participated in the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS fundraising 8 December 2009, raising $1,549,953 in the 21st annual Gypsy of the Year competition, from six weeks of curtain appeals at their hit Broadway drama, A Steady Rain.[134] Craig starred in 2011 in a short film narrated by Judi Dench, which was produced for International Woman's Day.[135] The next year, Craig worked with Orbis International in Mongolia to raise support and awareness of the Orbis medical team and their Flying Eye Hospital.[136]
He is involved with multiple charities including S.A.F.E. Kenya, which uses street theatre to address social issues.[137] He is also involved with the Opportunity Network, which provides access to education for low-income students in New York.[138] In 2011, he collaborated with Dame Judi Dench to highlight gender inequality for International Women's Day.[139] In August 2014, he added his name to a letter to British broadcasters calling for better representation of ethnic minorities.[140] In 2015, Craig appeared in the film Comic Relief: Behind the Bond for the BBC Red Nose Day 2015 fundraising programme.[141]
In April 2015, the United Nations appointed Craig the first global advocate for the elimination of mines and explosive hazards.[142] The role involves raising awareness for the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS), and political and financial support for the cause. Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Craig: "You have been given a licence to kill, I'm now giving you a licence to save."[142] In 2019, Craig appeared in a video with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, and launched the UNMAS Safe Ground campaign to turn minefields into playing fields.[143]
Political views
In 2012, Craig expressed a dislike and distrust for politics and politicians in general, being quoted as saying, "Politicians are shitheads. That's how they become politicians, even the good ones. We're actors, we're artists, we're very nice to each other. They'll turn around and stab you in the fucking back".[144] He was particularly scathing about former Labour Party Prime Minister Tony Blair, going as far as comparing those who succumbed to Blair's efforts towards befriending celebrities with the Faustian protagonist of Klaus Mann's anti-Nazi Exilliteratur novel Mephisto. Craig has also expressed a reluctance to involve himself with politicians, arguing that by doing so "you immediately are aligning yourself with a political party."[145]
Craig came out against the concept of inheritance in 2021, calling it "distasteful."[149][150] He claims his philosophy is "get rid of it or give it away before you go."[151]
Personal life
In 1992, Craig married actress Fiona Loudon; they had a daughter, Ella, before divorcing in 1994.[152][153][154] Ella Loudon is an actress and model, publicly expressing pride in Craig's work.[155]
Craig later began a relationship with German actress Heike Makatsch that lasted for seven years.[152] He subsequently dated film producer Satsuki Mitchell.[156][152]
Craig's friend Mark Strong speaks fluent German,[157][158] and in 1997 provided the German dubbing for Craig's voice in Obsession when "German with an English accent" was required.[159] Strong and Craig previously lived together, became friends, and co-starred in the BBC drama Our Friends in the North.[160] Craig is also the godfather of Strong's son Roman.[161]
Craig and actress Rachel Weisz had known each other since working together on Les Grandes Horizontales (1994).[162] They began dating in December 2010, and were married in a private ceremony in New York City on 22 June 2011 with only four guests in attendance, including Craig's daughter and Weisz's son.[163][164] It was reported on 1 September 2018 that their first child together, a daughter, had been born.[165]
