Continuing the theme of celebs disguised in space-themed films, did you notice the Bond star while he was defending the Empire? Unlike Bezos, Craig was utterly unrecognisable as one of the iconic Stormtroopers in the film.

In the film The Force Awakens, Craig features as the Stormtrooper who frees Rey from captivity while she is stationed on Starkiller base. This cameo was entirely unplanned and only came about because of a comment Craig made one day to Ben Dixon (Second Assistant Director for Spectre), who then went and spoke to J.J Abrams.

Thinking that it would be a minor role as one of the background guards, Craig was surprised when he found out he would play the rebellious Stormtrooper who freed the young Jedi.

They even had Craig sit down for a session with Abrams, where he had to do all of the dialogue. This took around three hours to complete and apparently had Daniel Craig regretting he ever made the hopeful comment about featuring in the film.

Did you notice, or would you only recognise him in a tux and a martini?
