Daniel Craig, 56, has never shied away from exploring the raw passion of the characters he portrays. In Love is the Devil (1998), he played a petty thief who becomes the lover of painter Francis Bacon. On stage at the National Theatre, he embodied the young Republican and Mormon lawyer Joe Pitt in Tony Kushner’s legendary Angels in America, capturing the character’s repression and fervent passion in his exchanges with Jewish civil servant Louis Ironson, as the play delved into the fears and desires of the gay community during the AIDS crisis.
