James Bond star Daniel Craig is about to become fully-fledged film royalty as he’s set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year.
The British actor, 50, is among a new batch of A-list stars, including Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, to be honoured with the accolade in 2019.
“Congratulations to Daniel Craig who has been selected as one of the recipients of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019,” tweeted the official James Bond Twitter account.

“I feel the committee has outdone themselves and I know the fans, tourists and the Hollywood community will be pleased with our selections. We are excited to see each and every honouree’s face as they unveil that majestic star on Hollywood’s most famous walkway.”
