Luckily, the response on the night was immediately ecstatic and the actor remembers his overwhelming relief.

Craig said: “We got to the opening credits after the fight in the bathroom and everybody burst into applause and shouted, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it might work.’

“It was just, it was beyond… and I thought, ‘Oh OK, we might make this work, we might make this work.’

“That was an important moment getting that kind of reaction. It’s just huge because it was just suddenly, it was like yeah, it’s the movies I wanna go and see, I wanna go and be in a movie and go ‘Yeah, that’s great!'”

The rest, of course, is history, although he probably never could have imagined he would be starring alongside The Queen on screen.  And his first reaction when he was told was hilarious.
