It’s been known for many years that Daniel Craig played the Mind-tricked First Order Trooper in The Force Awakens, but it’s never anything less than grin-inducing when he brings it up in conversation as he did here promoting Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
“I love [Star Wars], of course I do. I wouldn’t have asked to be in them if I wasn’t a fan.
“Ben Dixon, who’s an AD [Assistant Director] on the movie who AD’d our movies, I was on Pinewood because I was doing fittings. I just said, ‘Could I get a part in this?’ And he went, ‘Yeah.’ [Laughs]’
“Next day, I’m in a f****** suit. These things, they do not fit. All I remember is I had to wear this suit all day and I couldn’t feel my hands at the end of the day. And I thought, ‘God, these poor people have to wear them in the desert.’ Kudos to these people.”
