Daniel Craig‘s final ride as James Bond wrapped up its filming two years ago. However, it is not until recently that a new clip featuring the actor’s emotional speech to the cast and crew of No Time To Die surfaced on the internet. The actor can be heard fighting back tears as he takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane, “A lot of people here worked on five pictures.

Ice Cube Reveals Leaving N.W.A Was a “Big Risk”
Ice Cube recently touched on his departure from N.W.A and why he considers the move “a big risk.” Speaking to HipHopDX, the rapper explained that his exit from the esteemed group taught him an important and valuable lesson. “It could have went all bad from there after reaching the mountain top and you just kind of throw yourself off.
