Daniel Craig Embraces Post-Bond Career Without Rejecting 007 Legacy

The actor, now starring in 'Queer,' discusses his evolving roles while maintaining respect for his James Bond identity.

Daniel Craig has stated he does not seek to distance himself from his James Bond image, despite exploring diverse roles since leaving the franchise.
In his new film 'Queer,' Craig portrays Lee, a character inspired by William S. Burroughs, marking a return to the experimental films he enjoyed before Bond.
Craig emphasized that 'Queer' feels independent and personal, noting it would have been out of place during his time as 007.
He expressed frustration with comparisons between his post-Bond projects and his tenure as the iconic spy, stating his goal is simply to create meaningful films across genres.
Craig's performance in 'Queer' earned him his third Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, with the film set to release in Germany on December 25 in select theaters and nationwide January 2.
