Daniel Craigis a fan of Thanksgiving.
On Monday, theJames Bondstar toldThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertthat the annual celebration is “probably” his favorite holiday.
“I do understand Thanksgiving,” Craig jokingly told Colbert when asked if he knew the history of the holiday. “It’s about giving thanks as I understand it.”
“We do celebrate it, and we have American friends as well,” added Craig, 54, who became a U.S. citizen in 2019. His wifeRachel Weisz, also became a U.S. citizen in 2011, the same year as they got married.
“I’ve celebrated it for quite a long time. I think it’s probably my favorite holiday,” continued Craig.

When asked about his favorite Thanksgiving dish, however, the actor turned slightly more critical.
“I’m not so good with the fixings and things,” Craig admitted, before calling stuffing “an abomination.”
After Colbert explained that stuffing is just “wet bread mixed with herbs,” Craig jokingly replied, “And you stuff it up the a– of a chicken — turkey!”
“I think it should be cooked separately,” he continued. “It’s good, but I don’t think you should bring it anywhere near the bird.”

“Taika said, ‘can you dance?’ and I went ‘not really,’ so we just got one of the best choreographers around, who just loosened me up ‘cause I can’t count,” Daniel added while admitting he has “nil” training in dance.
“It’s quite important in dancing to be able to count, and know when to come in, so he just shouted at me ‘Go! Loosen up! Let me see those hips!’,” continued Craig. “That was it, basically.”
