In a recent interview with The New York Times, Daniel Craig shed light on how fatherhood has influenced his career choices.
The renowned actor, who is famously known for his role as James Bond, revealed that now that he’s moved on from the iconic franchise, he’s taking a different approach to selecting his roles—one that considers the needs of his family, particularly his 6-year-old daughter, Grace.
Craig shared that with a young child at home, he has become more mindful about his time away from family.
“I’ve got a 6-year-old at home,” he remarked, indicating that this new chapter in his life is prompting him to seek a balance between work and family.
He emphasized the importance of being present for his daughter and expressed a desire to limit his absences compared to his past experiences.
Grace isn’t Craig’s only child; he also has a 32-year-old daughter named Ella from his previous marriage to Fiona Loudon.
In addition, he plays the role of stepdad to Henry, an 18-year-old son of his wife Rachel Weisz, whom she shares with director Darren Aronofsky.
This blended family dynamic adds another layer to Craig’s parenting experience.
Rachel Weisz, herself an accomplished actress, previously recounted a charming story about Grace’s budding interest in the Star Wars universe.
During an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” she explained how watching the movies with her dad turned into a thrilling obsession for their daughter.
Grace was captivated by the stories and characters, eagerly asking questions like, “What does Darth Vader look like under his mask?”
Weisz noted that their daughter’s curiosity led to some amusing moments at home, stating, “She wants to know everything.” Grace’s fascination with the intricate mythology of Star Wars became so intense that Weisz felt it necessary to intervene.
According to Weisz, Craig humorously deflected Grace’s enthusiasm by declaring that “Star Wars is broken.” This playful comment was made while they were in London, which sparked a wave of confusion for little Grace.
She subsequently asked, “Is Star Wars broken in New York too?”—to which Weisz jokingly affirmed the claim.
This light-hearted exchange illustrates how Craig and Weisz navigate parenting together, balancing their careers with family life.
