Daniel Craig opens up about his James Bond tenure, addressing concerns about masculinity while promoting new A24 film, Queer. Read on to find out the details.

Daniel Craig has not bought into the societal conception of masculinity, something he noted was among his “biggest reservations” about portraying MI6 secret agent James Bond in five films across 15 years.

No one knows this better than Daniel Craig, who is likely the closest thing we have to someone who’s been both. Craig played James Bond for 15 years, during which time he experienced some scary emotions his character probably used all those suits to deflect.

Daniel Craig has shared that he felt “paranoid” following the success of Casino Royale, his debut film as James Bond. The 2006 film followed a newly-recruited 007 (Craig) as he aimed to take down a criminal organisation, resulting in a high-stakes poker game with the villainous Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen).

In Craig's latest film, "Queer," he gets to explore topics he was more interested in tapping into than when he was playing 007.
