Last night, British actor Daniel Craig got a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame just days before his last film as James Bond 007 opens in America. The ceremony was attended by fellow 007 actor George Lazenby who can be spotted in the background of Variety's live stream video below.
No Time To Die marks Daniel Craig's fifth and final outing as the suave British secret agent, ending a role that has spanned 15 years.
The actor's pink and terrazzo star, the 2,704th on the Walk of Fame at the appropriately numbered 7007 Hollywood Boulevard, was placed next to that of the late Sir Roger Moore, who played Bond in seven movies from 1973 to 1985.
“It's an absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood,” said Craig. “Me being on this pavement surrounded by all of these legends makes me a very, very, very happy man.”
Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, along with Rami Malek who plays villain Safin in No Time to Die, were on hand for the dedication ceremony.
Malek called Craig, 53, “old school and classy,” adding, “I can't wait to see where (your career) takes you next.”

Craig's next act will be playing Shakespeare's Macbeth on Broadway next March.
