According to the actor, he was terribly nervous being on the same set with Daniel Craig. And so that sometimes he even skipped the lines of his text that his hero had to pronounce.

“ When you see Craig in character, he is one hundred percent James Bond. I will say that there were times when I could not focus on the text and thought, "Oh, this is because I am looking directly at James Bond." I couldn't stand it. He's amazing, by the way. Absolutely gorgeous! ", - the actor shared his memories.
