Daniel Craig says James Bond has taught him to be more ‘trusting.’

Daniel Craig, who is reprising his role as James Bond in the upcoming film ‘No Time To Die,’ believes that playing the legendary spy for 15 years has transformed him as a person.

“I was really trying to reflect about this the other night,” Daniel Craig said. And the extent to which it has affected me is quantifiable… You should alter, you should know, you should analyze your life, and you should strive to bring yourself into a different position. But I recall how, you know, I had a serious issue with authority.

“I’m always on the lookout for the right type of angle. I’m not sure; I’m skeptical, to be sure, but not as much as I used to be. And, strangely enough, I’ve been through the entire procedure. Strangely, I’m a lot more open and trusting in others.”

The ‘Knives Out’ star also talked about how director Mike Nichols, with whom he collaborated on the play ‘Betrayal,’ gave him some sound advice.

The world’s suavest action hero has immortalized — appropriately — outside 7007 Hollywood Boulevard, next to fellow Bond actor Roger Moore.

“I never thought I’d hear myself saying this but you know it’s an absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood,” Craig quipped as his star was unveiled.

He remembered: “‘Daniel, don’t work with a,’ he said. And I was thinking to myself, ‘Sure, yeah, you’re right.’ And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve just said, ‘Yeah, you’re absolutely correct.’ Working with a is not a good idea. If you have a chance and avoid a**holes, you can show people your best side, and perhaps they will show their best side to you.”
