At the end of the ad, Daniel takes a sip of vodka on the rocks and says ‘Finally’ to the camera, which many have taken as a nod to his freedom after leaving the James Bond franchise.

Continuing why he chose to do the job differently, he continued, “When I read the script, I was like, ‘Hmm, really?’ So, ‘Let’s go with it.’ I hope people get the gag.’

He showed his more playful side with the ad, which featured music by filmmaker Taiki’s wife Rita Ora and Giggs, with humorous choreography by JaQuel Knight and styling by Christine Centenera.

With the fun Belvedere ad, Taiki said his goal was to show what life would be like when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Speaking about his unexpected collaboration with Daniel, the 47-year-old director admitted his initial concerns that he didn’t know if the 007 actor could even dance.

However, he said it felt “lazy” to just have Daniel holding a martini in typical James Bond style, and said he wanted to have more fun with the ad.

Taika said G.Q. Magazine: ‘I didn’t know if I could dance or not, it’s risky, what do you do if you find out that I can’t dance? I mean, luckily he can.

He said that Daniel enjoyed filming the playful ad, adding, “He was just great and he wasn’t cynical about it, and he wasn’t reticent.” He just leaned forward.

Done!  The trailer was directed by Taika Waititi, who admitted that she didn't even know if Daniel could dance.
