Los Angeles: Hollywood actor Daniel Craig jokes he's honoured to be walked all over in Hollywood as he gets a star on the walk of fame. Daniel Craig, who has portrayed James Bond in five 007 films got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday evening
"I never thought I'd hear myself say this but you know, it's an absolute honour to be walked all over in Hollywood," said the "No Time To Die" star.
Craig's star, the 2,704th on the Walk of Fame, is next to the other famed James Bond actor, Roger Moore. "If happiness was measured by the company we keep then me being on this pavement surrounded by all of these legends makes me a very, very, very, happy man. So, thank you very much," said the Bond star.
Craig's co-star and on-screen nemesis Rami Malek was one of the evening's speakers. Malek shared the story about meeting him for the first time on set in full make-up and full villain.
"Having sought me out, he grabs me by the shoulders and he says, 'It's going to be OK.' And it seems like a funny thing to say to a guy who happens to be playing a supervillain and your nemesis but that's just the kind of guy Daniel is," Malek joked.

Malek also spoke about how caring and empathetic Craig was to everyone on the set, all while handling his own stunts, "with one hand tied behind his back and the other holding a Negroni."
"He's as fastidious about his craft as he is about his empathy for everyone around him. He has this ability to hold these two potentially opposing things at the same time and an incredible amount of talent and responsibility and incredible warmth and an acute awareness for what those around him need," added Malek.
Craig has spent 15 years as Bond in titles such as "Casino Royale," "Quantum Solace," "Skyfall" and "Spectre." Some of his other movie titles include "Knives Out," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "Road to Perdition," and "Munich."
The honoree is also an accomplished stage actor starring in Broadway plays "Betrayal," "Othello," and "A Steady Rain." Craig will return to Broadway next spring in the starring role of Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
Craig was also joined by James Bond film producers Michael G. Wilson, and Barbara Broccoli.
