James Bond actor Daniel Craig got a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame on Wednesday, days before his last film as the iconic character opens in the United States. He became the 2,704th celebrity to be honoured with a star.
It was unveiled outside 7007 Hollywood Boulevard, in honour of the fictional British spy’s code number. It is just yards away from the star of his predecessor as Bond, Sir Roger Moore.
Craig, who has played 007 since 2006, said it was an “absolute honour to be walked all over in Hollywood”.
The actor was introduced by Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, along with his co-star in the latest 007 outing No Time To Die, Rami Malek, who plays villain Safin.
Before his star was unveiled, he said: “To Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, I thank you from the depth of my heart, without you I would not be here today – thank you for those lovely words. Thank you to Rami for those beautiful, beautiful words.”
“If happiness was measured by the company we keep, then me being on this pavement surrounded by all of these legends makes me a very, very, very happy man. So thank you very much,” he added.
