Daniel Craig, now synonymous with James Bond, once had to survive on some pretty extreme measures. Before hitting the big time and becoming the iconic 007, Craig faced tough times—so tough that he resorted to stealing frozen ducks just to eat. No, this isn’t a scene from one of his spy movies, but a real-life struggle. In his early days, Craig described a life where he and his family simply “didn’t have anything to eat.” Survival mode was on.
Craig is now a global superstar, but his humble beginnings are a stark reminder of how far he’s come. According to Lad Bible, he opened up about this period during an interview with Rolling Stone, clarifying that the man who eventually became Bond wasn’t always living the high life. Instead, he and his loved ones were trying to scrape by, even if it meant making a few questionable decisions, like grabbing those frozen ducks to keep hunger at bay.
This rough patch, however, didn’t stop him from pushing forward. Daniel Craig’s resilience and the intensity he brought to his early struggles are part of what later made him so captivating as the suave yet gritty Bond. Those survival instincts may have helped him own that role with an authenticity few actors could match. “I wasn’t going to let this define me,” Craig once said, reflecting on that time.
