Daniel Craig confirms he kissed Rami Malek on sets of James Bond movie

Rami Malek, who plays the antagonist in the movie, previously in an interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show revealed that Craig had kissed him when he came up with a good idea for the film. Malek said, "He grabbed me, picked me up and I can’t tell who initiated the next moment, whether it was him or I, but a kiss transpired between the two of us. I’m going to say that Daniel initiated it, and I was very taken aback."

Craig opened up about the kiss in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly and said, "I kissed him, alright! I kiss lots of people, It’s like, I’m a very friendly guy, and I wouldn’t rank anybody." He added, "Listen, this story’s had legs about kissing Rami; I’ve just been trying to give it more legs. I don’t know if it’s on social media. I haven’t got social media, but I said I used to kiss Rami after the end of every scene. It’s like no big deal. God almighty. Just spreading the love."

Malek quipped in and said that he would rush through his scenes just to kiss Craig after the shot was over, "I would just rush through scenes just to get to that moment that you would get kissed. 'Cary, Cary, two takes, we're good?'." Meanwhile, No Time To Die opened to positive reviews with critics calling the movie an apt farewell to Daniel Craig who bid adieu to the iconic character after 14 years. The cast of the spy thriller includes Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes reprise their roles from previous films, with Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah joining the cast as new characters.
