As per the reports, Daniel Craig said that he would rather “slash (his) wrists” than play James Bond again. In the documentary, the actor explained that help came to him from the most unexpected place. His fellow star, Hugh Jackman, “helped (him) to come to terms” with the fame.
“My personal life was affected by being that famous all of a sudden. I used to lock myself in and close the curtains, I was in cloud cuckoo land. I was physically and mentally under siege… [Hugh Jackman] helped me to come to terms with it and appreciate it,” shared Craig.
Daniel Craig first stepped in the shoes of James Bond back in 2006’s Casino Royale and gained huge popularity. Hugh Jackman proved to be an amazing friend by helping the actor, who has worked on several films since then.
