Daniel Raphton Craig

Daniel Craig's filmography has dozens of diverse works, but everything is overshadowed by the role of James Bond. The actor, who in his youth became a fan of films with Sean Connery, both thanked and cursed this image when he tried on the costume of a British intelligence agent.

In the end, he admitted that he would not have been involved in such a "cool" project if he had not been interested. One thing is certain - the franchise with his participation is considered the most successful, enriched the studio that created it by $ 5 billion, and the leading actor is not offended.

Daniel Craig was born on March 2, 1968 in England. The father of the future celebrity tried himself in different professions - he was a sailor, worked as an engineer at a steel plant, and ran his own pub. Mother taught art.

When the boy was 4 years old, his parents broke up. Daniel, his older sister Leah, and his mother moved to Liverpool. At one time, for the sake of the family, the woman refused to work at the Academy of Dramatic Arts, but the passion for the theater did not disappear. After the move, Olivia Carol plunged headlong into the activities of the Liverpool Theater and captivated her son.

Daniel Craig's childhood took place behind dusty curtains or in the auditorium. In those years, the Briton already knew that he wanted to become an actor. From the age of 6, the boy took part in staging school plays.

A few years later, Daniel and his family moved to the Wirral Peninsula - his mother got married a second time. The teenager went to school without much enthusiasm, but read with great eagerness, played in performances, played rugby.

In 1984, the National Youth Theater held an audition in Manchester. 16-year-old Daniel Craig successfully passed the casting and moved to London. To live in the British capital, the actor had to earn money by cleaning the premises, working as a waiter.

Craig understood that for an acting career, one desire is not enough - you need a specialized education. Three times I tried to enter the school of dramatic art and on the third attempt I entered. The actor studied at this prestigious educational institution for 3 years, until 1991.

The debut of the English actor in the cinema took place when his studies at the school of dramatic art had not yet ended. The film "The Power of Personality" was released in 1992: Daniel Craig played in the film a brutal military man who violates all moral norms. The role was a success, and it was followed by offers from the producers. Further successful works were small supporting roles.

In 1998, Craig brilliantly played a psychopath in the movie "Love and Rage". In the same year, there were two premieres with the participation of the actor - "Elizabeth" and "Love is the devil". For the second film, the actor received the prestigious Edinburgh Film Festival award for Best Actor.

In 2000, the film "Voices" was released. The schizophrenic patient played by Daniel Craig made critics and directors talk about the English actor. In 2001 he was invited to Hollywood.

Craig's journey to Hollywood began with his role as Alex West in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. In 2002 - another work in the film "Road to Perdition". Daniel gradually approached the acting Olympus.

"Sylvia", "Endless Love", "Layer Cake" - every year a film was shot in Hollywood with the participation of the Briton. A resounding success came to him in 2005, when the actor was approved for the role of the new James Bond. Since that time, Daniel Craig has become a cult star - authoritative newspapers wrote about him, talked about in the acting party. The film became the main one in the creative biography of the Briton.

The Bond episode "Casino Royale" with the updated 007 agent broke the popularity records - the film became the highest-grossing film in the history of the series. Bondiana made Craig one of the most expensive actors in Hollywood, a sex symbol and the face of advertising campaigns for global brands. Actress Eva Green acted as Craig's partner in the film.

The second high-profile project of actor Daniel Craig is the role of a journalist in the film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." The heroine Lisbeth Salander was presented on the screen by Rooney Mara. But the fantastic thriller "Invasion" with Nicole Kidman is considered a loud failure in the British career. The film about the crash of a spaceship, after which the earthlings were struck by an unknown epidemic, was directed by the German director Oliver Hirschbigel. The customer, Warner Brothers, was not satisfied with the result. The film was re-shot by the Wachowski brothers and James McTeague, but their efforts were in vain - the box office fees fell short of the production costs.

The next film, which brought fame to the actor, was the next part of Bondiana "007: Specter". In the trailer for the film, Craig appeared alongside Monica Bellucci. Netizens especially remember the passionate kiss of celebrities.

In 2010, the actor appeared at the Roosterfish gay bar. The Briton danced with a young man and signed autographs for gay fans. As a result, a scandal erupted, Craig was accused of homosexuality, announcing that going to such an institution was a real "homosexuality" by a celebrity.

Craig's fans closely follow the news in the life of their pet, but he is not present on social networks. The actor's accounts on Instagram are kept by fans. In 2017, the media reported that Daniel Craig had agreed to play James Bond in the 25th anniversary series.

The actor became popular thanks to this film, but after that he categorically refused to participate in the continuation of the movie saga.

British journalists assumed that Craig's consent was too expensive for the filmmakers, because they had previously offered the actor a fee of $ 80 million. The producers, knowing about the variability of the British character, continued to negotiate with him.

The actor himself did not confirm the news. Perhaps it was personal drama that made Craig change his mind. In 2017, the British press reported that the performer of the role of James Bond could again become a bachelor. According to the media, the reason for the breakdown could have been Craig's dissatisfaction with the constant absence of his wife Rachel at home. In addition, they say that Daniel was jealous of her husband for her successful career. Over time, Rachel's affairs improved, offers for filming in films followed one after another, but Hollywood producers forgot Craig.

Daniel Craig has always been known for his very impressive figure (the actor's height is 178 cm). However, attentive journalists saw signs of excess weight in the photo of the famous British actor.

Critics suggested that the Briton would need hard training to return to the 007 adventure franchise. Men his age are faced with the problem of being overweight, fat begins to accumulate in the waist. Only vigorous physical activity will stop the negative process.

The former muscular and fit actor appeared in the crime drama Gangs of Los Angeles. The film is based on real events that took place in March 1991. Then 4 "white" police officers beat up a black taxi driver, but were acquitted by the court. Protest actions began in the city. Craig played the main role of the protector of a neighbor's family in the midst of unrest.

Another main role, and again the image of a brutal man, only this time causing a smile, Daniel has in the comedy action movie "Logan's Luck".

Viewers, accustomed to the superman, who destroys the enemy with an unwavering hand and with a stone face, saw Craig the blond, unemployed and deeply in debt. The main character gathers a company to steal the prize fund of car racing. The actor got Riley Keough, Channing Tatum and Adam Driver as partners. Director Steven Soderberg raised money for the shooting through crowdfunding, presale on film markets and the realization of rights on television and streaming services.

Daniel's first attempt at arranging a personal life was the German actress Heike Makatch. Craig met a woman on the set of the drama "Obsession". The couple spent a lot of time together, appeared at social events, and soon they began to live together. The civil marriage lasted 7 years, but gradually the feelings faded away.

In 1991, Daniel Craig met the Scottish actress Harley Loudon, and the following year the couple officially registered their marriage. The lovers played a wedding. In the same year, their daughter Ella was born. The couple lived together for a little more than 2 years, but decided to file for divorce. Harley and the girl moved to London.

In 2005, Daniel became close to Satsuki Mitchell, the producer of the thriller The Jacket. Romantic feelings flared up between them. Information about Craig's novels with actresses and photo models periodically appeared in the media, but the actor's relationship with Satsuki continued until 2010.

Daniel Craig met all women on the set. The affair with Rachel Weisz was no exception. They played spouses in the film "Dream House". Rachel was the director's wife at the time, and Daniel had a relationship with Mitchell. By the end of 2010, the lovers stopped hiding from journalists, and on June 22, 2011 they exchanged rings.

The ceremony was modest, children from previous marriages came to congratulate the parents - Ella and Henry, Weiss's son from the union with Darren Aronofsky. In the fall of 2018, a common child appeared in the family - a daughter.

Official confirmation of Craig's participation in the 25th Bond movie came in the spring of 2018. At first, Oscar-winning Danny Boyle undertook to shoot the next part of the franchise. But Daniel's influence has spread so much that producers listen to his opinion in terms of casting. The Briton did not like the performer of the role of the antagonist: according to the plot he is Russian, Boyle invited a Pole to the picture. The conflict was resolved with the director's departure, but Danny took the script as well.

The filming process, now led by Carey Fugunaga, had to start over. For this reason, the film's premiere, scheduled for 2019, has been pushed back by another year. The role of Bond's girlfriend went to Lea Seydoux.

The media wrote that Daniel was not satisfied with the fee against the background of the profitability of the Bond story. The Sony company, which started the continuation of the film adaptation of the novels of Stig Larsson, reduced the budget of the films.
