In an interview at BFI London Film Festivalthe artist opened up about the challenges that the acclaim and success in playing the most famous spy in the world brought. At the event, the critic Mark Kermode asked if he liked playing 007.

“I enjoyed it. I loved every second of it. I mean, some of it was hard and weird and weird and emotionally kind of hard for everyone, including my family. Fame is weird,” he said (via NME). Right away, Craig revealed how the decision to accept the job came at the time he worked in Munich (2005), film directed by Steven Spielberg.

I was working and had a bit of fame and it got me, you know, a drink at the bar. But I could still go anywhere.

Finally, the actor explained how his hesitation about fame “couldn’t be the reason for not” accepting the role.
