did you guys pay attention to the venice film festival, one of the three major film festivals in the world, held some time ago?

the scene was very lively.

cate blanchett, the "big devil"

that's the one on the red carpet in cannes,

the woman who risked her career to speak out for palestine👇

lady gaga and her fiancé michael polanski

and zhang ziyi appeared as a judge of the main competition unit of this year's film festival👇

but the next one, i really didn’t recognize him at first glance...

daniel craig, the "sixth generation" 007 who just "retired".

this is what he looked like before retirement👇

and now he has white hair and untidy beard...

is there a hint of aunt flavor?

brother, no uncle

you have been voted the sexiest man in the world before!

let’s go back to october 2005.

at that time, daniel had just defeated "uncle wolf" hugh jackman,

clive owen, king arthur

jude law,

waiting for more than 200 candidates...

the world was stunned when he was chosen to be the sixth james bond

not for any other reason, but because everyone thinks: he is really not worthy of being the new 007.

after all, in the original novel author ian fleming,

james bond's appearance is described as follows:

"black hair"

“personable”

"a gentleman with elegant manners and well-dressed appearance"

but on october 14, 2005, when daniel craig made his first appearance as agent bond on the thames,

it can be said that it surprised audiences all over the world...

three royal navy speedboats rode the wind and waves and sped under the tower bridge of london.

there was a man sitting on the bow of one of the ships. he was wearing a life jacket.

blonde hair,

they abandoned ship and went ashore under the escort of nine british soldiers wearing dark green berets.

even later, when he was interviewed by the media and asked questions he didn't like, he just gave a cold face and didn't give any face at all.

all the media looked at each other in bewilderment and had questions on their faces:

is he the upstart who will play the legendary british secret agent james bond in the 21st 007 film, casino royale?

the bbc also openly ridiculed this:

are we really ready for our first blond bond?

compared to previous generations of 007, what is daniel's strength?

tall stature?

compared to the first generation 007 sean connery who was 188cm tall,

with a height of only 178cm, he seems a little bit far from it...?

handsome appearance?

after the last elegant and handsome pierce brosnan,

whether it's daniel or not, it seems that he is not good enough...

not to mention the black slicked-back hair, which is already controversial and completely contrary to the original work.

not only is his appearance unpleasant, but daniel's business ability is also controversial.

at that time, he was 37 years old, approaching the age of 40, but he could hardly find any representative works to show off.

in 1991, daniel graduated from the guildhall school of music and drama in london.

a year later, he filmed his screen debut "the boy must be self-reliant".

he played an officer in the film, but since it was not a major role, he did not have many scenes.

after that, he made many movies one after another.

but it was not until 8 years later that he received the first recognition from the industry:the most promising star of european cinema.

two years later, he won the golden circle award for best actor in the stage play "a number".

finally got his first nomination: london evening standard award for best actor.

but he was already 34 years old at this time...

even though daniel had a taste of fame in the movie "layer cake" a year before he played 007,

but objectively speaking, he still cannot compare with the male actors who participated in the selection.

but despite this, daniel was chosen.

so much so that there was a wave of "anti-performance" voices around the world at that time.

some media reported that this must be the worst 007👇

there are also young 007 fans who spontaneously set up a website called "craig is not bond" to oppose him👇

"ugly", "bad acting", "too boring"... a barrage of bad words attacked daniel.

after reading these comments, daniel tossed and turned and almost couldn't sleep.

but at dawn the next morning, he cheered up again: i can definitely make a better 007.

later it turned out that those who were not optimistic about daniel were indeed slapped in the face.

during the filming of casino royale, paparazzi who were just looking to watch the fun sneaked into the filming location to see him make a fool of himself.

as a result, the man who had been lying on the beach all night saw a muscular, well-proportioned, half-naked man exuding hormones.

yes, that's right, it's still daniel bendan 👇

after the on-set photos leaked, the style of the film changed drastically overnight.

everyone changed their prejudice against daniel.

some media even praised him as "the sexiest bond in history".

after the movie was broadcast, everyone found that daniel's performance made this legendary agent more three-dimensional.

james bond at this time is no longer the one who is always unscathed.

a romantic gentleman who flirts with many beautiful women with a false smile.

instead, he is a tough guy from the mortal world who is made of flesh and blood, values ​​friendship and loyalty, and sheds tears even when he loves deeply.

he can get hurt just like any other person and has his own weaknesses.

when vesper broke down, daniel's bond finally just loosened his tie, compared to the previous passionate scenes.

hold it tightly in your arms, just like this...

daniel's outstanding performance in 007 made him a star.

he became one of the hottest stars in the film industry at that time.

in the end, it became the most profitable bond series with a box office of over 300 million pounds 👇

all the same offline items were sold out...

in july 2012, daniel participated in the opening ceremony of the london olympics as 007👇

in 2015, he was appointed by the united nations as the first global advocacy ambassador to eliminate landmines and explosive hazards👇

in 2021, daniel craig was also awarded the honorary rank of lieutenant colonel by the british royal navy👇

in addition to 007, daniel also made various attempts during this period.

the great detective in knives out,

the reporter who was caught in a lot of mystery in "the girl with the dragon tattoo".

he even made a cameo appearance in "star wars".

that's right, this is the first order stormtrooper whose face is not shown and whose mind is controlled by rey using the force👇

after leaving the role of 007, daniel made more attempts.

he came to the film festival this time with his new film "queer".

the director is luca guadagnino, who also directed call me by your name.

#so i won’t specify what kind of movie this time…

looking forward to daniel's future performance~

best wishes.

final word

daniel walked the red carpet hand in hand with his wife rachel weisz👇

she was the heroine of the movie "the mummy"👇

i thought it was an old man and a young wife? it looks like at least one round apart?

in fact, they are only two years apart in age...
