A new vodka commercial with ‘James Bondactor Daniel Craig is making waves on the internet. The ad, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi, shows Mr. Craig transforming from the movie star of the spotlight into a smooth-sliding and vibrant man on the town.
The commercial for Belvedere Vodka, which premiered last week, is over two minutes long. It opens with a white-clad Mr. Craig standing on a bridge, staring at the water. However, as the ad continues, the 007 icon is seen unleashing his inner disco diva in a leather jacket and sunglasses.

In the clip, the 54-year-old actor can be seen wiggling, spinning and bumping his groin to a soundtrack by Rita Ora and Giggs. He even graces the screen in white jeans and a cardigan. At the end of the video, the actor is then seen taking a sip of Belvedere and commenting “Finally”.
In a postscript, Mr. Waititi also appears as a caricature of himself as a director. “Let’s go one more time, just be yourself,” he tells Mr. Craig, flashing a smile to reveal sparkling “DC” grills.
Soon after its launch, the commercial took the internet by storm. Netizens labeled the video as the “wildest thing” they’ve ever seen.
