‘James Bond’ actor Daniel Craig says the price of fame can be ‘terrible’

“James Bond” actor Daniel Craig criticizes the price of fame.

Craig, 56, opened up about the pitfalls of being in the spotlight and how it can affect famous people.

“Fame kills you. Really, it’s a terrible, terrible thing that can happen, and I think you really have to fight against all the things that it throws in your face because it’s so easy to be tempted ,” Craig chimed in New York Times.

His comments come after singer Chappell Roan opened up about her struggles with “stalking and harassment” during her rise to superstardom.

“Fame kills you. Really, it’s a terrible, terrible thing that can happen, and I think you really have to fight against all the things that it throws in your face because it’s so easy to be tempted .”

Last month, “Good Luck Babe!” the singer yelled at a “disrespectful” photographer at a film premiere in Los Angeles.

She previously had a heated exchange at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards after a photographer shouted “shut the f— up” at the singer.

The “Pink Pony Club” singer’s viral red carpet moment comes after she previously accused some fans of stalking, harassment and “predation” in scathing social media posts.

Meanwhile, recognizing Roan’s setbacks, Craig credited how she has handled fame.

“I really admire the courage to say those things,” he said.

As Craig prepares for his next role in the movie “Queer,” he added the pressure he felt between becoming a “brand” instead of being recognized as an actor.

“Am I a brand? You have to do social media and I can’t do that. I even regret the emails I send.”

The veteran actor went on to explain that if the role in “Queer” had been offered to him a decade ago, he would have chosen his role in James Bond first.

“I wouldn’t have done that,” he remarked. “I was so wrapped up in Bond and what it was, I would have been afraid to do something like that. Especially early on with Bond, I thought, ‘That’s enough. Stay in my lane’.”

The “Knives Out” star went on to give some insight into her next role.

“I know plenty of tough men in this world who are vulnerable,” Craig added. “And I like to portray that in films. That truth is interesting to me.”
