Craig spent years building a respected career in films like Layer Cake, Road to Perdition, and Munich, but everything changed when he took over as James Bond in 2006.
His casting sparked controversy at the time, with some fans questioning whether the blond-haired actor fit the traditional Bond image. Those doubts disappeared after Casino Royale turned him into one of the franchise's most successful stars.
Craig's Bond era also transformed him physically.
Working with longtime trainer Simon Waterson, he developed a powerful yet athletic physique built for action scenes rather than aesthetics alone.
The goal was performance first, sprinting, fighting, climbing, and handling demanding stunt sequences, with the muscular look becoming a byproduct of that training.
Even as he moved into his 50s, Craig maintained the intense preparation required for films like Specter and No Time to D*e.
His trainer emphasized recovery, agility, and overall health instead of chasing unrealistic body standards.
Since leaving Bond behind, Craig has earned praise for roles in the Knives Out franchise and Queer, proving his career extends far beyond 007.
One fan wrote, "Daniel Craig is so hot, and I'm tired of pretending he's not."
