The die-hards of Daniel Craig surely have a count of his films. Moreover, his followers exactly know how many James Bond movies the star has done until his departure from the spy franchise, in No Time to Die. However, the actor himself had no clue, when he tried to recall the film count.
In a recently held Variety interview, the Knives Out star was seen alongside his costar, Drew Starkey from the movie, Queer.
During the conversation, the actors were tested with questions to explore how well they knew each other. However, during this series of questions, the actor from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had a seemingly confused reaction.
It was when the duo present for the interview was asked how many James Bond movies has Daniel Craig done so far. To which, the Cowboys & Aliens actor asked the host if the question was for him.
He further asked if he would have to write the answer down, also clarifying that he is going to get the outcome wrong.
Meanwhile, Starkey had already written his answer on the whiteboard that read, “Too Many.”
Hilariously, Craig agreed stating out loud “Exactly,” prompting a big moment of laugh in the room.
However, the The Adventures of Tintin actor then stated, “I don’t know either. I’d have to count them. One, two, three… five? Five.”
For those who do not know, Craig has done five amazing James Bond movies in the Grand Spy franchise. His first appearance was in the 2006 movie, Casino Royale. Craig later came ahead with the box office hit in 2008 with Quantum of Solace.
The star was also seen in the 2012 movie Skyfall and the 2015 Spectre, while bidding a farewell to the franchise in 2021 with No Time to Die.
Since the time he exited the spy movie series, a lot of names have surfaced online, either rumored or cast by the fans to play the role of James Bond in future movies.
Some of these names include Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, and Regé-Jean Page. A few other names are Richard Madden, James Norton, Damson Idris, as well as Cillian Murphy.
Most recently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson was rumored to have been cast as the next Bond.

Mahesh Babu’s hyped upcoming project SSMB29 with SS Rajamouli seems to be a one-of-a-kind ambitious project for which fans have been going gaga. While there is a lot yet to be unveiled about the upcoming film, the Guntur Kaaram actor’s latest pictures flashing his crisp macho look with a French beard have grabbed attention.
In several pictures which have gone viral on social media, Mahesh Babu clad in a white t-shirt and gray pants can be seen enjoying a gala time with some of his friends, in the company of his wife Namrata Shirodkar and daughter, Sitara Ghattamaneni. However, it was his uber-cool French beard and a red Ferrari cap that has changed the game altogether.
Check out the pictures here:
Needless to say, as soon as the pictures came up, fans of the actor were left in a frenzy as they were sure that the actor’s specific look in the picture was one that he would portray in his upcoming globe-trotting adventure with SS Rajamouli’s directorial film SSMB29.
They even hailed him as ‘Mufasa’, in reference to him lending voice for the iconic Disney character in its Telugu dubbed version.
Well, the fact that the actor has outgrown his hair for the first time sows seeds of heightened excitement surrounding his next project. Reportedly, the story of this next film is based on the African landscape and includes a jungle adventure, and hence the slightly shabby vibe to his look seems justified.
Back on October 24, a recent update about SS Rajamouli’s next directorial SSMB29 with Mahesh Babu suggested that the filmmaker was already out hunting down shooting spots for the movie.
As per Times Now, the pre-production work for the project was already in motion and the script too was getting finalized. The official shooting of the movie is slated to begin tentatively by January 2025.
Nonetheless, a significant portion of shooting the film would mostly take place in Hyderabad, with VFX being used to replicate the outdoor locations. The storyline of the movie is said to be based on novels by James Bond and Wilbur Smith.
The fact that the film is a globe-trotting adventure based out of Africa, there is also a high chance of animals and wildlife being represented in the film.
SS Rajamouli, during a press interaction, had dropped the first hint of what he aspires to do in this regard when it comes to his next film. He had said, “I mean I love animals. I keep using them in my films before. I’m pretty sure I’ll be using more animals than RRR in my forthcoming films. That’s for sure.”
On the work front, Mahesh was last seen in the 2024 release Guntur Kaaram.
