“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” Drops On Netflix This Week, So We Caught Up With Daniel Craig And Janelle Monáe To Find Out More About The Making Of The Movie

Daniel, your accent is such a stand-out part of your character – how long did it take to perfect and do you ever accidentally do it in other films?

Daniel: No, never, once the job’s done, it’s over. But when I’m on the job, everyone on set is doing it. I mean, Kathryn wouldn’t stop doing it!

Janelle: I must butt in and say I think it’s truly brilliant work, because obviously Daniel is British, but then he’d put these headphones on and… I don’t know what you were listening to, Pink Floyd or something. His head would be bopping in between scenes in the Blanc outfit, and I’d think, “what is going on?” Then he’d slip into his Benoit voice, and then back into his British accent. I remember asking, “what is it with the walkman?” and you just said, “it keeps me focused”.

Daniel: That’s very nice of you. Yeah, I’m just very easily distracted.

Janelle: Well seeing the accents go back and forth, he never missed. That’s why he is who he is!

And finally, Daniel, if you could choose to have any one of the characters from the first film cameo in this film, who would it be?

Daniel: None of them, I hated all of them. I hope I never see any of them again. No, I think it would be Jamie Lee Curtis because I know she’d make it happen!
