Javier Bardem once celebrated Daniel Craig's birthday by popping out of a cake while dressed as a Bond girl
Bardem told the story while talking with Craig for an episode of Variety's Actors On Actors
Daniel Craig may no longer be James Bond, but he’s still managing to star in many exciting stories. Over the past few months, we’ve learned that his ability to get drunk with others led to Sam Mendes directing Skyfall and Spectre and Mark Strong losing out on the part of a Bond villain. Now, while discussing talking shop with Skyfall’s Raoul Silva, we’ve learned that Daniel Craig was once the very lucky recipient of a birthday surprise featuring Javier Bardem popping out of a cake dressed as a Bond girl.
Bardem told the story during his appearance with Craig on Variety’s Actors On Actors series. During a wide-ranging discussion centered mostly on stuff like being two of the most famous actors working today, Bardem brings up how much they have in common, including the fact that they were born one day and one year apart from one another.
“We actually celebrated our birthday together once,” Bardem says.
Craig begins laughing immediately, replying: “I do remember you were in drag, but I know that’s a whole other story.”
