According to GVN, Daniel said, “I used to hate it, but I guess that was fame that I didn’t love. I had to get used to being famous, which is still so strange to me.’

“Everybody fucking hated me,” Daniel joked about the public reaction to his casting.

The Chester native stepped down from the role in 2021’s No Time To Die, with the likes of Henry Cavill, Regé Jean-Page and Tom Hardy leading favorites to play 007 next.
