Daniel Craig to get star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

The No Time to Die actor Daniel Craig will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony on October 6.

His will be the 2,704th star on the Walk of Fame, and the fourth James Bond actor to receive the honour after David Niven, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Barry Nelson also played Bond in a TV movie and received a star during his career.

Craig’s star will be placed next to Moore’s, located at 7007 Hollywood Boulevard.

“Daniel Craig is a British cultural icon, as is James Bond, the man he has portrayed in five 007 films. We are thrilled to place his terrazzo Walk of Fame star next to the star of another famed actor, who also portrayed James Bond, Roger Moore,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in a statement.

“Fans will be thrilled when they see that their stars are appropriately located at 7007 Hollywood Boulevard,” Martinez added. Craig has previously played the suave spy 007 in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre. He received a Golden Globe nomination for Rian Johnson’s whodunit Knives Out. — IANS
