From the age of 6, Craig made appearances in school drama, and his mother, Carol, also worked hard to cultivate his interest in drama.
In 1972, after his parents divorced, Daniel Craig was raised with his sister in Liverpool. At the age of 16, he moved to London and trained at the National Youth Theatre, where he toured Manchester. In 1991, he graduated from the School of Music and Drama at The Guildhall in London and began entering the film and television industry.
In 1992, he starred in the role of John F. Kennedy. G. Iverson directed the feature film "The Kid Must Be Self-Reliant", which was his first film work, thus officially entering the show business circle.
After that, he took over the film and television dramas such as "Castle Grudge", "Sharp's Eagle", "Shenqi Weilong", "Our Northern Friend", "Moore Flanders" and other film and television dramas, and began to be famous in the industry.
In 1998, Craig starred in the drama film "Love Painting Color" starring Derek Jacobi, which intuitively allowed the audience to see the world of the painter Bacon, whose life touched many social taboos and had a huge impact.
Craig begins to shine as George, the same-sex lover of the British painter Francis Bakken, in the film.
Subsequently, Craig co-starred with Kate Blanchett, Joseph Fiennes, and Jeffrey Rush in the historical film Elizabeth, which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, and he began to be favored by Hollywood studios.
In 1999, he co-starred with Paul Nichols in the war film Trenches, he co-starred in the adventure film "Sleepwalking in Africa" with Kim Basinger and Vincent Perez, and the comedy film "Love Begins with Idiots" with David Morriser, which began to become officially popular.
In the same year, he was named the most promising film star in European cinema.
In 2001, Tomb Raider was released, in which Daniel Crégre played Laura's boyfriend Alex and Angelina Jolie as a couple!
In 2002, Craig co-starred with Michael Gunburn in the stage play "A Number", in which one person played a triangle, for which he was nominated for the London Evening Standard Award for Best Actor.

In 2005, he co-starred with Adrian Browdy and Kayla Knightley in the thriller film "The Phantom Jacket", in which he played a madman, which was very eye-catching.
That same year, he co-starred with Eric Barner in Spielberg's suspense film Munich, in which he played steve, a sentimental and bloodthirsty member of the assassination team.
When the filmmakers announced in October 2005 that 38-year-old Daniel Craig would replace 52-year-old Pierce Brosnan as Bond, it caused an uproar. The global blog system was almost paralyzed, and some people even set up a website called "Craig is not Bond".
There are three reasons for this dissatisfaction: Craig is too short (180 cm, the shortest of all the Bond), blonde (Bond is black in the original book), and he is too "academic" (before appearing in stage plays). In addition, leaving aside the factors of Brosnan's older age, people do not see that the role of Bond needs to be changed.
It was just a classic British spy, sitting at a casino table, surrounded by beautiful women, with a handsome smile on the winning bills. In the film, Craig has many close-ups, with well-defined chest and abs, and Saga's face.
Craig's previous film resume is still remarkable, and once he plays Bond, the biggest disadvantage is that he may be stereotyped by the role.
"That's the biggest problem for me." Craig said. As for another concern — not having time to pick up other films — Craig took comfort from his predecessor, Brosnan, "He persuaded me to take on the role." ”
Talking to the producers, Craig was a little moved to find out that they were going to give The Bond film a new lease of life, but at first he refused, "The reason I refused was because this role could take up too much of my time." ”
In the process of starring in "Munich", he consulted the director Spielberg, and Spielberg replied: "If the script is good and the conditions they prescribe are superior, why not enjoy it?"
Craig wasn't handsome enough, not tall enough, and had blonde hair, a far cry from Ian Fleming's Bond, but he had superb acting skills, a toned figure, and deep eyes.
And Bond in "007 vs Casino Royale" is very fragile, he has painful memories (he is an orphan), but also tormented by love (extramarital affair), this Bond is no longer the handsome guy who fell from the sky as everyone saw in the past, but the slightly sad tough guy character of Bourne in "Spy Heavy".
In Casino Royale, Craig changes the audience's traditional view of the symbolic 007, and Bond is no longer the gentleman with a false smile, but a tough guy who is serious about righteousness. Especially when he comforted Eva Green in the bathroom, he loved it so deeply that he burst into tears.
Like a hybrid of a mellow martini and a blast of vodka, Daniel Craig is the fierce Bond on screen. Since then, he has taken over five episodes of 007 and become one of the most successful Bond.
Although "Quantum of Crises" and "Ghost Party" are hugely controversial and have certain quality problems, "007: Breaking the Sky" has created the highest box office in the series.
Craig also won the 18th Critics' Choice Film Award for Best Actor in An Action Film, the 39th American Film and Television Saturn Awards for Best Actor, and the 15th Teen Choice Award for Best Action Actor.
In addition to taking on 007, Craig is also actively involved in a variety of different films. Like the war movie Rebels, in which he co-starred with Levi Shreibor, Jamie Bell, and Alexa Devolos, he played Tuvina, the eldest son of a Jewish family, an absolute tough guy soldier.
In 2011, he also co-starred with Olivia Wilde and Harrison Ford in the sci-fi film Cowboys and Aliens, in which he played Jack Lonergan, who forgot his past.
He also co-starred in the thriller suspense film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, co-starring With Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer and Strandsgaard in the same year, in which he played Mikel, a journalist who lost a defamation case.
In addition, he has also starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", "The League of Thieves", "Los Angeles Disaster" and has been a superstar.
In 2019, Craig co-starred with Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, and Jamie Lee Curtis in the feature film Blade Out of the Sheath, in which he played the private detective Benoy Blanc, which is also his most famous work since 007.
For this film, he was nominated for best actor in the motion picture category - music/comedy at the 77th Golden Globe Awards. Now, two sequels have earned him a hundred million dollars, which is also a new Hollywood record!
In 2004, Daniel Craig met Japanese filmmaker Sasukee Mitchell on the set of the film The Phantom Jacket; the two began dating.
In 2007, he and his girlfriend Sassuki Mitchell came to China to tour the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Bund. But in November 2010, the two chose to break up!
Later, Daniel Craig met actress Rachel Vichy for collaborating on the film The Shadow of the Dream House, and then fell in love. On June 22, 2011, the two were officially married.
Both were once married, with Rachel Vichy having a son, Henry (born in 2006), and Daniel Craig and his ex-wife Fiona Loudon, who also had a daughter, Ella (born in 1992), and the two had a daughter in 2018.
Some time later, with the release of "No Time to Die," Daniel Craig will soon shed the aura of 007. Although his role in 007 is hugely controversial, he not only takes over the mantle of 007, but more importantly, injects some new breath and modern aesthetics into 007.
A rugged-looking macho man with sharp eyes gave the traits that the previous 007 did not have: strong muscles, strong hands, elegant and elegant into sexy beasts.
The story of The Hollywood superstar Daniel Craig's popularity tells you that being a male star does not necessarily need to be handsome and high-looking, but you must have a personality, and your acting skills must be sharpened like that, and you must also have strong muscles and strong hands to stand in an invincible position in the Hollywood film industry!
And fame comes early, Daniel Craig is good at seizing opportunities, as long as the 007 character withstands the controversy, it will subvert the fire. He has the opportunity to increase his fame or salary, and he will not let it go easily!
