And then you finally get to interview James Bond

This took absurdly long. The makers of James Bond refused to release anything from the latest installment to ease our lockdown, so the film was postponed for 18 (!) months. It was up to Eva Jinek to interview Daniel Craig about this fresh film, which resulted in a delightful Lucky TV full of self-mockery.

First things first, interviewing Daniel Craig is no small feat. He appears for the last time in the guise of Bond in this film, is, in my opinion, the sexiest Bond ever made, and for interviewers, that is quite a thing. Eva was the chosen one, because if anyone can handle the task of interviewing Daniel Craig, it’s her.

Eva was nervous, Eva was ready, and Eva wanted to make Daniel Craig laugh after all those hundreds of boring journalists who went before her on Zoom. Because yes, the interview about the film of the year had to be via Zoom. And suddenly it turned out that there was nothing wrong with all those boring journalists, but with Daniel Craig's sense of humor, the connection via Zoom, pretty much all the technology, and especially with his answer to the question.

Eva wouldn’t be Eva if she didn’t pour out a lot of self-mockery about herself and serve it on TV in a Lucky TV, where her remark that this film is just like giving birth to a gigantic baby gets a slightly different interpretation. Leave that to the Lucky makers and Eva. In short: Eva wants a child from Daniel Craig and she wants it now. Just watch.

This week in theaters, the new Bond film. Although in this case, I would like to first give an Oscar to Eva Jinek, because what a delightful woman she is. First, watch Lucky TV before diving into that film. Although I don’t know if you can keep a straight face after this.
