DANIEL Craig choked up as he paid an emotional goodbye to James Bond and the cast and crew of No Time To Die.
After wrapping his final mission as the British spy, Daniel took a moment to give thanks to those who worked with him across his five outings as Bond.
Standing in a black dinner suit synonymous with the character, Daniel said: “A lot of people here worked on five pictures with me, and I know there’s a lot of things said about what I think about these films or all of those, whatever.
“I’ve loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one, because I’ve gotten up every morning and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys.”
Just before the emotion got too much for him, Daniel added it “has been one of the greatest honours of my life.”
He finished his speech by breaking into applause which was reciprocated by those listening.
Daniel famously said he’s rather slash his wrists than play Bond again after last flick Spectre and the toll making it took on his body.
However, his attitude in the run down to the release of No Time To Die has seen him speak only fondly of the role.
On being persuaded to reprise the role for No Time To Die, which will make him the longest-serving actor as 007, Daniel told The Celeb Report: “I do not want to go on about how hard Spectre was, but I needed a break. I needed to switch off.
“I genuinely felt psychologically at the end of that film too old. Barbara drives a hard bargain. I don’t think I was ever going to get away with leaving after Spectre.”
He added: “My tenure is what it is, but it is only part of something bigger. I look back at the films and am incredibly proud of every one of them. Leaving this role is not easy.
“I can be as brazen and blasé about it as I like, but it is still tough to walk away from. And it is not about money and fame.
“I am incredibly fortunate to have been able to do this. But I think it is OK now [to leave the role], and it’s because we did this movie.”
