Daniel Craig, our forever Bond (but also so much more, okay?), is out here hyping up Chappell Roan for her A+ approach to handling fame. Spoiler: She’s setting boundaries with clingy fans, and Daniel is basically like, “You go, girl.”
The 26-year-old pop dynamo behind “Pink Pony Club” has been keeping it real lately, letting the world know she’s not about to let her mental health and safety take a backseat to overzealous fans. We’re talking about fans who think “boundaries” is just a fun board game and not, you know, a life necessity.
In a fresh chat with The New York Times, Daniel—who’s 56 and apparently has no time for fame’s nonsense—gave Chappell a standing ovation (figuratively, but we’re manifesting it).
“I admire the guts to say those things,” Daniel spilled, probably while sipping a martini—shaken, not stirred, obviously. “Celebrity kills you. Like, not literally, but kind of? It’s this terrible beast that throws glitter and chaos at you, and you have to fight it off like a dragon. But not a cute dragon. A scary, fame-thirsty dragon.”
Daniel, being the deep and introspective king he is, went on to question the whole brand vs. human dilemma that fame loves to dangle in front of celebs. “Am I a brand? Like Coca-Cola but with less fizz and more brooding? I don’t know,” he mused. “People tell you to do social media to stay relevant, but I can’t. I’m still out here regretting emails from 2008. You want me to tweet my thoughts? Hard pass.”
Basically, Chappell Roan just got the Daniel Craig seal of approval for handling fame like a boss. And honestly, if James Bond says you’re doing something right, you’re winning at life.
