Daniel Craig lands same accolade as James Bond by being named in New Year's honours list

express.co.uk:

James Bond actor Daniel Craig, 53, ended 2021 on high note after he was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George.

And it seems very, very fitting as it's the same honour given to his alter-ego, 007.The award comes as a nod to his services to film and theatre, after he packed in the towel as the MI6 agent when his fifth film was released earlier this year.No Time To Die achieved blistering success at the box office, a nice send-off for the longest running Bond to ever grace our screens.The actor made his explosive debut in 2006’s Casino Royale after taking over from Pierce Brosnan.A CMG is an honour that is often given to diplomats, and the fictional spy is described as holding it in both the films and the books by Ian.
