Daniel Craig got emotional after filming his final scene as James Bond on the upcoming No Time to Die.
In Apple TV’s documentary, Being James Bond, Craig reflects on his time as 007 across five films: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die.
The film shows Craig wrapping up filming his final scene and then giving a speech to the crew. He told them: “I’ve loved every single second of these movies.”
Craig also 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. But I’ve loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one because I’ve got up every morning and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys. And that has been one of the greatest honours of my life.”
During the speech, Craig visibly starts to tear up and dabs at his eyes as the crew listen attentively and then burst into applause.
