Daniel Craig dancing and Taika Waititi – what more does an advert need?
As James Bond, Daniel Craig is used to taking his vodka martinis shaken, not stirred, but it’s his hips that are doing the shaking in this brilliant advert for Belvedere vodka, directed by the amazing Taika Waititi.
Everything, from Daniel Craig’s delightfully camp performance to the Rita Ora & Giggs original song and Taika Waititi’s self-parody is note perfect.
It found its way to Twitter.
Sure, the John Lewis advert is great but does it have Daniel Craig dancing??? pic.twitter.com/lHSQZM2hhr

Should have been a scene in that beach bar in Spyfall where Bond got off his tits and did this whilst everyone studiously ignored him https://t.co/K0xY1yrU2B

I think Bond needs to lay off the shaken vodka martinis 🤣 https://t.co/hMwT1PoI65

Quite a few people spotted a similarity between this ad and a classic Fatboy Slim video.
Finally a prequel to @FatboySlim’s Weapon of Choice video. pic.twitter.com/I50fVn3EIJ

It just works.
OMG, I didn't editing the timing of the video or audio at all. It just synchs up almost flawlessly.
It had to be done. Dance-off between Craig and Walken, anyone? https://t.co/OwOY1l0v9L pic.twitter.com/p2cehOfTy2
