Daniel Craig says his ‘biggest reservation’ while playing James Bond was the ‘construct of masculinity’
Hindustan TimesActor Daniel Craig recently opened up about one of his main concerns while portraying the iconic MI6 agent, James Bond, over the course of five films. Reflecting on his 15-year tenure as the suave spy, Daniel revealed that the societal expectations tied to masculinity were among his "biggest reservations" about stepping into the role, as per Deadline. Daniel Craig's ‘biggest reservations’ on playing James Bond "I would say one of my biggest reservations about playing would be the construct of masculinity," Daniel said during a recent event while promoting his latest film Queer by Luca Guadagnino. It doesn't matter how tough you are, everybody's vulnerable," he said, adding, “But it's how boys are brought up, how men are expected to behave, how someone like Burroughs was expected to behave.” On the liberation post-James Bond This vulnerability is something Daniel has explored in his recent work, particularly in his role in Queer, where he plays Lee, an American expatriate living in 1950s Mexico City.
