Craig finally get his star surrounded by Bond Family

In a rather fitting end to his tenure as 007, Daniel Craig has become the 2,704th celebrity to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star was unveiled outside 7007 Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday, an obvious nod to his work as the super-spy James Bond. Craig is in good company as the star of fellow Bond, Sir Roger Moore, just meters away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jIjuIxFx-g Craig said it was an "absolute honour to be walked all over in Hollywood". The actor was introduced by Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, alongside his co-star Rami Malek who plays assassin Safin. In reply, the 53-year-old said: "To Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, I thank you from the depth of my heart, without you I would not be here today - thank you for those lovely words. Thank you to Rami for those beautiful, beautiful words. "I never thought I would hear myself say this, but it's an absolute honour to be walked all over in Hollywood." https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1445934894933331970 Malek, best known for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, had nothing but nice things to say about Craig at the ceremony. "We all know he's a superb actor, he's dedicated, he can handle all his own stunts with one hand tied behind his back and the other holding a Negroni," Malek said. He continues to say Craig has empathy for everyone around him. "He has this ability to hold these two potentially opposing things at the same time - an incredible amount of talent and responsibility and an incredible warmth and acute awareness of what those around him need."
