Hollywood star Daniel Craig has been appointed as an honorary Commander by the British Royal Navy, the same rank held by his famous character ‘James Bond’.

The 53-year-old actor feels “truly privileged and honoured” to have been given the title.

“I am truly privileged and honoured to be appointed the rank of Honorary Commander in the senior service,” he said.

First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the British Royal Navy, who worked closely with Craig and the crew on latest Bond movie ‘No Time To Die’ said the organisation’s work was very similar to that done by the spy, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
