'Casino Royale' Pair Daniel Craig & Mads Mikkelsen Reunite and Talk That Infamous Chair Scene 

The best thing about this video is that there's no show host interrupting them.

Mads: Do you remember when we met? Craig: No Mads: *Sad cannibal noises*

Mads Mikkelsen is like the scandinavian Keanu Reeves. So incredibly humble and under the radar

I can’t believe this movie is now 15 years old

Mads is still the best Villain of the Craig era!

Mads' acting skills are phenomenal. One of the best actors of his generation

Casino Royale is, imo, one of the best action films of the 2000s.

These two need to do another movie together. They had great hero/villain chemistry in Casino Royale.

One thing I always liked about Le Chiffre was that he wasn’t in control like other Bond villains have been. He was desperate, his life was in danger, and that made him a danger to 007. The perfect debut antagonist (:

I’ve not ever seen Daniel as enthusiastic when it comes to talking about bond as he is here, he is purely enjoying reminiscing about making a film with another actor, it is very rare to see such honesty when it comes to actors and film making these days.

Mads deserves more recognition for helping to make Daniel Craig's Bond successful out the gate. The best movies in the franchise with DC are when the villains are at his level ie. Mads and Javier.

I love how Mads remembers everything

The reunion we always wished would happen.

These two need to work together again. Maybe Mads should be considered for the Knives Out sequel.

The people who plays the worse villains are always the nicest guys in real life XD Edit: thanks for all the likes you guys!

"It was a wonderful day for me... For you maybe not so much" 😂😂

Mads Mikkelsen= so much respect for this actor. He has such a subtle way about himself and his acting. I watch everything he is in.

Mads Mikkelsen is one of my favorite actors ever. Him playing Hannibal in the TV series was a perfect role... Amazing

Mads is one hell of an actor and seems like a genuinely lovely bloke.

That torture scene is an absolute classic.

The best acting ever done by Craig as James Bond was right there in that torture scene - and Mads was right there with him as a ferocious and worthy adversary - just spectacular!

Daniel Craig absolutely nailed the title character, but it was Mads as the villain that made Casino Royale truly one of the great Bond films.

Mads seems like the nicest dude and all but after he played Hannibal, he scares the hell out of me 😨 Just show's how good of an actor he is cause that performance was top notch terrifying 👌

Mads is such a class act! And that little kiss at the end?? That man lives a completely toxic-free life. Wish Hollywood would put him in movies where he SMILES more often too.

Cast Mads in Knives Out 2. These two need to be in another movie again.

Mads just went Hannibal: “You’re breaking my heart.” Lol

Mads is the man. I highly recommend everyone jump right into his Danish film catalogue. He has such a wide range of characters and it’s quickly evident he is one of the best in the industry. Would love to see him and Craig in a project together soon. Layer Cake 2 ;)

I love how Daniel did this call just to talk more about "DRUK". It seems he really really loved the film and wanted to talk to mads about it. Libre them both.

Possibly my favourite Bond film. Rest in peace Chris Cornell.

Casino Royale is the best James Bond movie of all time. Change. My. Mind.

casino royale was such a badass stylish film.

In my 20s I had a crush on daniel craig, now in my 30s I'm all about mads mikklesen....

acting of Mads Mikkelsen was so great in casino royale I wish we could see him more in bond but they killed him :/

Mads is a great actor & he did a damn good job playing Le Chiffre who’s still the best villain that Craig’s Bond has faced. The other villains all seemed a bit too comical/looney to believe. Mads’ Le Chiffre was the only villain that gave a realistic sense of danger & threat to Bond’s life. He’s the only 1 to have ever cornered & gotten Bond into such a helplessly vulnerable, threatened position & to physically torture him. No other villains of the whole franchise did what Le Chiffre did to Bond.

When Mads first took on the role of Hannibal I was a bit sceptical, but as I went into it with a neutral stance I realised just how great he was and is in everything he plays. He was a super villain in Casino Royal. So glad he was a part of Daniel's first venture into the Bond role.

MADS! God, what a gorgeous man.

The only thing that could make this better? Eve Green!

2 great actors. Mads never disappoints in his movies.

Mads has a great memory and is insanely curious. I love that about him.

I don't think y'all understand how legendary this is

It was a fantastic movie, Mads Mikkelsen was a perfect villain and Daniel Craig was and still is a perfect Bond.

Mads can still give look at the camera with a straight face and that would intimate anyone...especially when in a casino.

Turns out Bond's torture was both actor's fetish LMFAO.

Imagine a movie with mads mikkelsen and cillian Murphy 😳

Casino Royale is not only the best James Bond ever, it's also an excellent movie. That first scene of Casino Royale is Daniel Craig chasing the French Parkour Artist Sébastien Foucan. It's dope. From that scene on, Craig rose the James Bond Saga to the next level of physicality. Unlike all other actors, he makes it really easy to believe he can kill you in no time. MIkkelsen makes is the perfect vilain too. And of course, that scene with Eva Green in the train is the key to untangle the Bond Psychology

It’s lovely to see a natural interview no host asking silly questions just 2 friends chatting

Honestly EVERYONE wants Hannibal season 4! Why is nobody picking it up?? I would if I had the cash

Casino royale is my favourite bond movie. It gives bond the most heart and makes him compelling, not just some superhero. The story and writing was just fantastic.

I enjoy the chemistry between these two. I hope they can work together in another good film project again.

I could watch a conversation like this for hours

I watched Casino Royal when I was 10 and I didn't understand a single scene. I was so lost with the poker plot and why Le Chiffre was a bond villain. I finally rewatched it last night and I am 24 and I think it is one of the best action movies of all time. Beautiful, gritty, and intense. I am so glad I did this movie a service it deserves.

My favorite Bond film. Love these two. Off topic we need Hannibal season 4 ASAP!!

Two great actors, I was amazed seeing Daniel Craig in Knives Out. Mads is so awesome in Hannibal, I was scared that he may live his real life the same. Exceptional acting.

mads making craig blush made me giggle

Another Round was a great,great film! Mads was snubbed at the Oscars! His performance is absolutely incredible in that film! At least the film was Nominated for Best Directing which is a huge surprise.

These two look so happy together. I really loved this conversation. How Mads remembered everything and it all came back to Daniel slowly, just a really nice overall talk reminiscing on their past.

I love Mads. He could be cast as a rock and do nothing and he'd still be brilliant!

their chemistry is insane

A one-on-one conversation between Daniel Craig and Mads Mikkelsen was not something that I knew I needed until I saw it!

Mads Mikkelsen ages like fine wine.

You could tell how much Daniel admires Matt acting!! 🥰 Love these two.

The Hunt and Another Round were so great. I need to see more from that director.

This is the best thing ever

Absolutely legendary... I love how this came out of nowhere

Mads Mikkelsen did a phenomenal job of portraying the role of Bond villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale!

The most authentic bond villan from all the films .It also helps that mads is extremely talented

This conversation isn't long enough!! These two gentlemen are just fantastic.

"It was a great day for me with the rope. You probably not so much." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hannibal is really good at playing Mads here

The genuine love and respect between these two is so nice 🥰 get u someone who giggles like daniel craig does at everything mads says

I love that both of them have this cool, hard, tough look but out of character, both of them are like goofy dorks!

only mistake they made in casino royale was to kill off Mads. such a great villain he would have been in the next installments.

Everyone gangsta till madds invites you to dinner.

Lol Mads seems like such a sweet adorable guy lol very different to the characters he plays

Still an incredible film. I cannot emphasize how awesome this was at the time.

damn i remember how much of an impression le chiffre made that for me, it almost overshadowed bond

The guys are so smooth, cool and so talkative off screen. Compare this to their characters in CR, both were silent dark, brutal and cold.

Mads's charisma and presence in this film is really amazing. Best villain in a bond movie ever.

Craig: "I have to give over to the fact that [the fiberglass] wouldn't break, because he was smacking the fuck out of it." Mads: "It did break." Me, as a guy: 😱😱😱

They both have such an elegant chaotic energy going on, what an amazing duo.

Two of the *finest* actors on this planet trading stories of their work together in Casino Royale, and more... priceless. When the trailer of Sir Daniel Craig as Bond first came out for Casino Royale years ago, I *yelled* as if I was at a Rugby game watching the All Blacks! I hadn't even seen the film but it was SO clear to me immediately from just the trailer... I turned to my ex and I said, "THERE, that's Bond...THAT'S Ian Fleming's Bond, the way Fleming wrote him in the books!" Because we, who had been watching the franchise for years, had never seen THAT Bond! Not since George Lazenby had played Bond a single time, with Dame Diana Rigg, in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Now, don't misunderstand me, I adore some of the other actors who've played Bond, but they weren't *Fleming's Bond* and as a writer, what Fleming intended when he created the character of Bond upon whom the entire franchise is built, has some meaning for me. How awesome to hear Herre Mads Mikkelsen talk about Craig, the two of them meeting, and how they both dealt with the new experience of being in this huge franchise together. Craig is also the second celebrity to rave directly to Mikkelsen about the amazing performance he gave in Vinterberg's masterpiece, Another Round, nominated March 15 for Best Intl Film and Best Director for the upcoming Oscars. Last week, famous director Guillermo del Toro Gómez spoke over Zoom with Vinterberg and Mikkelsen, praising the film, telling them how much of a cathartic effect the movie had on him and how much he enjoyed it and thought it was exceptional international filmmaking. I don't feel out of line agreeing that it is an astonishing, life-affirming film and Mikkelsen is at his very best in it. I hope the film takes both categories in which it was nominated. Mikkelsen has taken over as Grindelwald in FB3 - FB5, and despite the upset that precipitated it, I believe it's perfect casting that the studio missed their mark on 4 years ago ahead of filming FB2: Crimes of Grindelwald. Mikkelsen joined the cast outside London in January (FB3 is currently filming).

Seeing them two together again, reminiscing and mutually respecting, made my week

I LOVE how honest they are, just 2 guys laughing - talking etc.. And ofcourse both of them are such awsome actors.

Mads is a brilliant actor! I just love him!

I really enjoyed Daniel Craig asking so many questions. Great conversation, both amazing actors. favorite part personally: everything from 13:25 onward. Also, really soothing to hear that even at this level of acting experience and skill, there are things that might seem daunting, and of course that that may be part of the lure!

Mads is great, seems like a top man aswell. He brings Craig to his level

It would be really cool if there was a scene in No Time To Die where Bond has a nightmare or hallucinates or something and we see him in a room with all his past villains, including Le Chiffre, Blofeld, and Silva. Would love to see Mads cameo in some way.

The Mikkelsen family has brought us two incredible brothers, two of the best arch-villains (Lars as as a live action Thrawn too please!), and two of the nicest guys when they aren't taking over the world/galaxy.

These guys were so good in their roles it is almost surreal to see them as friends.

Love hearing them use the F-Bomb like two mates talking over a beer in a bar

I’d never heard of Mads before CR, but he was excellent in it. So glad he’s in so much more now!

Casino Royale is the best bond movie from almost all aspects. Best soundtrack, acting, writing, scenes etc. hell it had the record for most vehicular flips in air with a damn DBS.

Mads Mikkelsen was robbed at the Oscars AGAIN. I can't with those award shows 🤬

Someone cast these two together for a movie or show

It's weird seeing them together like this. Good actors

Craig seems like such a good listener, very involved in conversation. Btw can't believe how many years have passed, i remember watching it in shitty quality (recorded in the theater), loving it nonetheless and even making some sort of fan clips from that on Chris Cornell soundtrack

Mads is so wholesome

I like how Daniel name-dropped Pusher. For those of you who haven’t seen it, check out the Pusher trilogy: Mads’ first movie role, very different from the kinds of roles he plays typically.

I wish this was longer. please do more of these.

Casino Royal what a film what a era, loved it.
