Daniel Craig once found himself in an unexpected position—begging for a cameo role in a movie. Yeah, you heard that right. The man who wore the 007 suit with swagger was itching to slip into something new, even if it meant just a brief appearance. After years of dominating the screen, Craig wasn’t afraid to chase down a smaller, extended cameo, proving that even the biggest stars crave the thrill of playing against type.
So, what made Craig go from leading man to cameo hunter? There’s a story behind those words, and it’s just as gripping as any Bond flick he ever starred in.
How Daniel Craig Used a White Lie to Manage His Daughter’sStar WarsObsession
“Star Wars is broken,”Daniel Craigquipped, and surprisingly, it wasn’t some sly critique. It was part of a clever parenting tactic. Craig, the man who donned the 007 tuxedo for years, found himself in a unique role—telling his Star Wars-obsessed daughter that the iconic franchise was, well, out of commission.
Here’s how it all went down:Rachel Weisz, Craig’s wife andBlack Widowstar, revealed onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertthat their daughter had become deeply engrossed in the galaxy far, far away. Craig and their daughter bonded over the originalStar Warsfilms, and soon, the little one couldn’t get enough. From Googling Darth Vader to obsessing over every detail, she was all in.
But Weisz noticed the intensity. In a move only a spy would think of, Craig decided to tell their daughterthatStar Warswas broken. Weisz asserted:
She wants to know everything, and she’s obsessed with mythology. I said to him, to her dad, ‘I think this is too much for her. It’s too intense.’ So he decided to tell her that Star Wars is broken.
The story didn’t end there. When the family touched down in New York, the first thing their daughter asked was,“Is Star Wars broken in New York, too?”Weisz played along, reassuring her that the Force wasn’t strong in New York either.
Craig’s relationship withStar Warsdidn’t start with just father-daughter bonding, though. Back in 2015, during the filming ofSpectre, Craig had asked to be part ofThe Force Awakens—and not just any part. He shared,
I said to Ben, ‘Part for me?’ And he was like, ‘Are you serious?'” Craig recalled to Express. “I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And he went, ‘I’ll go ask J.J [Abrams].’ And he came back and said, ‘Yeah.’
The actor envisioned himself as a background Stormtrooper, the kind that bumps his head or drops a lightsaber. But what he got was a full scene. He even had to loop his own voice for hours with J.J. Abrams. So, there you have it—how Daniel Craig became part ofStar Warslore and used a little white lie to manage his daughter’s budding obsession.
