Daniel Craig cuts a handsome figure in a denim jacket

He is known for his role as the suave 007 agent, James Bond.

And Daniel Craig took a break from his hectic work commitments as he hosted the screening and reception for the comedy crime flick Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in New York on Wednesday. 

The British actor, 49, looked typically handsome in a trendy denim jacket and grey wash jeans as he mingled with the critically acclaimed flick’s director, Martin McDonagh.

She makes a shock move by painting three signs leading into her town with a message aimed at William Willoughby, the well-respected chief of police in the town. When another policeman on the force – a violent mother’s boy – becomes involved the battle worsens. 

The movie is set to sweep up at next month’s British EE British Academy Film Awards with eight nominations. 

Meanwhile, despite telling Time Out that he’s rather ‘slash his wrists’ than do another 007 movie, Daniel has signed up for Bond 25 – due for release November 8, 2019. 

Daniel and Rachel Weisz, who have been friends since their 20s, tied the knot in a secret New York ceremony in June 2011 after only six months together.

The service was attended by just four guests, including Craig’s 22-year-old daughter Ella, from his first marriage to Scottish actress Fiona Loudon, and Rachel’s son Henry, who was five at the time. 

Before she and Daniel got together, Rachel had lived with Neil Morrissey prior to her nine-year relationship with US film director Darren Aronofsky.

She and Aronofsky then split after she teamed up with old friend Daniel on 2011 horror film The Dream House. 

At the time Daniel – who was married to first wife Fiona Loudon for just two years – was engaged to his ­girlfriend of seven years, US film producer Satsuki Mitchell.

But they also split, and Craig and Rachel went public with their romance shortly afterwards.
