Daniel Craig plays British secret agent 007 for the last time. The thriller "No Time to Die" is Craig's fifth and final James Bond film.

And on the last day of shooting - it was raining outside and inside the Pinewood studio the crew applauded - the 53-year-old cried.

“It was very moving - an anti-climax.

It's been almost 16 years of my life.

But James Bond didn't cry - I cried, "the actor told the Bild newspaper.

Craig finds his last Bond film, which is 163 minutes long, particularly successful.

He recently looked at it with friends.

»I was really happy, very happy.

Melancholy too.

It is my best.

A finale.

I'm proud. «After the pandemic, the film can finally be celebrated.

“It would have been a disaster if the film had to be streamed online.

It is an event epic that celebrates the cinema. «

After leaving as James Bond, he wanted to begin "the third act" of his life.

He still loves making films.

“It's a massive thrill in my life.

I'll play as long as I can.

I love the cinema. "

He does not know who will be his successor as Bond. The new one must reinvent Bond. He thinks deep down James Bond is a good person. He wants to protect humanity. But for that he does dubious things. “That's his eternal conflict: he's some kind of good old hero who has to do bad things. But he's doing his best. The new Bond has to do that too, give his best. "

Rami Malek plays the villain Safin in the film.

The US actor said he was very impressed with the filming.

The 40-year-old told the dpa news agency that he was particularly overwhelmed by the gigantic backdrops.

"When I got in there for the first time, it was breathtaking because it reminded me of my childhood," said Malek.

"I had to let that sink in first." He read the James Bond novels as a child.

"I love these books," said Malek, who won an Oscar for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bond opponent Safin has a poison garden in his headquarters - a homage to the Bond novel "You Only Live Twice" from 1964. "That I play a guy who has his own poison garden, his own cave, that's something special." said Malek.

"That's classic Bond!"

As a 007 adversary, he would like to instill fear in the audience - and be "the toughest opponent" for Daniel Craig on his last mission as James Bond. "You have to give him enough barriers and make his life as difficult as possible," said Malek. "What Safin is up to is pretty brutal, pretty terrible, but really unique."

For the world premiere in the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday in London, members of the British royal family are expected in addition to leading actor Craig and other stars of the film.

Heir to the throne Prince Charles with his wife Duchess Camilla and his son Prince William with Duchess Kate have announced themselves.

Pop star Billie Eilish, who sings the title song "No Time To Die", is said to be among the guests.

Actually, the film by director Cary Joji Fukunaga should start in April 2020.

The premiere had been postponed several times due to the corona.
