Even the actor who is currently playing James Bond, he absolutely detests the role. He already had a rocky start when publications kept stating that he just didn’t have the ‘look’ of James Bond, and highly doubted how effective he would be in the role. All of these dissenters were quickly silenced when Daniel Craig proved his worth in the phenomenal Casino Royale.

However, when asked about doing another James Bond role after Spectre in 2015, Craig replied with "I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on."

Not long after that statement, though, he said “if I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money.” Well, that clearly seems like the case with Daniel Craig starring as James Bond in No Time To Die, which will mark his final appearance as Bond before the role switches hands yet again.

As for who would replace him, Craig replied with “Look, I don’t give a… (damn).” So, unless his mood has changed in the past four years, it seems like the only actors who really enjoyed their time in the shoes of her majesty’s greatest spy were Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton.
