If you thought Daniel Craig was only the suave and sophisticated (former) James Bond, or the snappy and brilliant Benoit Blanc, you’d be mistaken. When the 56-year-old English actor is off-duty, he seems to indulge in an activity none of us could see coming from a mile away.
In a surprising andrecent revelation, Craig confessed to being a dedicated gamer, with a taste for both heroism and mayhem in his virtual worlds. He also let us in on the two games he enjoys the most, with his own hilarious reasons.
Daniel Craig Likes To Finish The Fight
At the top of Craig’s gaming list is the iconic sci-fi first-person shooter franchise,Halo. Here, he takes on the role of Master Chief, a galactic hero who battles alien threats to save humanity. “Halo’s good because it’s shooting aliens,” Craig explained emphatically.

Perhaps the clean, moral mission of defending the galaxy resonates with the actor, who is known for playing a licensed-to-kill agent of justice. We can only wonder what he thinks of the state ofHalothese days, as the franchise hasrun into dire days.
Craig Likes Violent GTA Sprees, Followed By Immense Guilt
However, Craig isn’t afraid to unleash chaos when the mood strikes. He also harbors a fondness for the notorious and ultra-popularGrand Theft Autoseries, which is known for allowing players to engage in asmorgasbord of criminal activities, in addition to theexcellent satireof real-world places and events.
“Those ultra-violent ones I can play for half-an-hour and then I feel dirty” said Craig in reference toGTA. It seems even Bond of all people needs a break from the morally gray world of espionage, occasionally indulging in a bit of virtual lawlessness, and then being awash with guilt over the digital blood spilled.

Interestingly, his gaming sessions seem to be governed by a self-imposed moral compass. While he enjoys the initial thrill ofGrand Theft Auto‘s (Vice Cityin particular) chaos, Craig confessed to feeling a sense of guilt after a virtual crime spree:
“Vice City, for example. I think, ‘Oh yes, all right, I’ve stolen 18 cars. I’ve had enough now.'”
With such a volatile back-and-forth on theGTAseries, we can imagine Daniel Craig won’t be very enthusiastic about lining up forGTA 6on day one when itreleases in 2025.
This glimpse into Craig’s gaming habits was something we didn’t need, but certainly appreciate. It’s always great to have the opportunity to peer into the personal lives of uber-famous celebrities. And in the case of Craig, it’s clear that while he may play heroes on-screen, he’s a complete menace to those poorGTAcivilians in his spare time. At least he has a sense of remorse about it.

Ultimately, this revelation shows that even the iconic James Bond enjoys kicking back with a controller in hand and slaying the occasional pixel. Whether he’s saving humanity or causing digital mayhem, it seems Daniel Craig approaches gaming with the same dedication and intensity he brings to his on-screen performances.
