Talking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Daniel Craig spoke about Glass Onion, James Bond, how he loves Star Wars, and his memories of wearing a Stormtrooper suit in The Force Awakens.
“I love Star Wars, I wouldn’t have asked to be in it otherwise,” Craig recalled to the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “Ben Dixon, who’s an assistant director on those movies and he was an AD on [Spectre] as well, and I was doing fittings. I asked him ‘Could I get a part in this?’ And he just said let me go and ask. The next day, I was in a f-cking stormtrooper suit. I had to wear the thing all day and I couldn’t feel my hands by the end of the day. These poor people have to wear them in the desert, I wouldn’t have done it if I had to go to Tunisia.”
When asked about whether we would see his stormtrooper character again, named FN-1824, Craig joked, “Yes, that role was very dear to me. Is that was the character was called? I tried to get into the next two but no luck.”
Even though Craig went uncredited and only uttered a handful of words, the role was still more substantial than he thought it was going to be when he first joined the project.
