Daniel Craig Shocks Stephen Colbert With Correction On How To Pronounce His Name
HuffPost
“I have a bone to pick with you,” the former James Bond star recently told the comedian on his show.
Daniel Craig had a “bone to pick” with Stephen Colbert — and told him about it to his face.
The former James Bond star had a chat on Monday’s “Late Show” about his new film “Queer,” but before a commercial break, Craig noted that he’s been coming onto the show for several years — and that Colbert has never once correctly pronounced his name.
“I have a bone to pick with you,” he told the host. “Six shows — say my name.”
Colbert obliged and apparently pronounced the actor’s last name correctly: Rather than having “Craig” rhyme with “bed,” he targeted the final syllable to elongate the name — and pronounced it “Cray-ig” in a way that makes it rhyme with “vague.”
“Oh, now you’re doing it right,” Craig cheekily told Colbert.
