Daniel Craig Didn't Like THIS Celebrity To Replace Him As James Bond?—'Premature' [REPORT]
Daniel Craig has officially retired from the iconic James Bond role after playing the character for more than a decade. Since the release of "No Time To Die," many fans have been speculating who will replace the actor; one of them is Tom Hardy. However, Craig is reportedly not happy with their suggestion; is this true?
According to a report published by OK! Magazine last year, Craig was reportedly unhappy with the rumors that Hardy would replace him as the iconic British spy.
A source said the actor felt the public's demand for Hardy to play the role was "premature" at the time since the latest 007 film was in the works back then.
"It's tacky and underhanded for Tom's people to be leaking this news like he's got the job," the insider dishes.
The report didn't think Hardy would get the role immediately because other British actors are reportedly better than him.
In addition, Craig could possibly change his mind about reprising James Bond, so Hardy "shouldn't assume that Daniel is out of the picture."

Not The First Report About Daniel Craig's Exit From The James Bond Franchise
This is not the first issue about Daniel Craig's exit from the James Bond franchise, as a report previously claims that he retired from his role because of his "shaky marriage" with Rachel Weisz.
According to National Enquirer, Craig gave up his role to salvage his ten-year marriage with his wife. The couple reportedly has marital woes and has already reached their lowest points because of their hectic schedules.
However, the outlet debunked the report saying the insider isn't reliable, and the couple is very private about their personal lives.
