Daniel Craig shares why he left Bond franchise

Daniel Craig has recently explained why he left Bond franchise.

“I couldn't have done this (Queer) while doing Bond. It would look reactionary, like I was showing my range,” said the 56-year-old in a new interview with The Sunday Times.

Daniel, who starred in five Bond movies between 2006 and 2021, stated, “Early on with Bond I thought I had to do other work, but I didn't.”

“I was becoming a star, whatever that means, and people wanted me in their films. Incredible,” remarked the Knives Out actor.

Daniel told the outlet, “Most actors are out of work for large chunks so you take your job offers but they left me empty. Then, bottom line, I got paid.”

“I was so exhausted at the end of a Bond it would take me six months to recover emotionally,” continued the Kings actor.

Daniel mentioned, “I always had the attitude that life must come first and, when work came first for a while, it strung me out.”

Meanwhile, the actor added that he had no say in who could be the next Bond but he “wished those picking new Bond “good luck”.
