Nominated for his work in Queer, Daniel Craig went stag to the 2025 Golden Globes, leaving fans wondering where his wife, Rachel Weisz, was.
According to Craig, Weisz, 54, had a very good reason for opting out of the Sunday, January 5, event, sharing details into her no-show with Extra on the red carpet.
When asked by Extra’s Adam Glassman whether or not Weisz was, “with you tonight,” Craig, 56, replied, “She’s not, no, she’s getting our little one back in school.” Craig and Weisz, who got married in 2011, share a daughter, Grace, 6.
Craig, who was nominated in the category of Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture but lost out to Adrien Brody for his work in The Brutalist, and Weisz are notoriously private when it comes to family life. (Craig is also father to daughter Ella, 32, whom he shares with ex-wife Fiona Loudon, and stepdad to Weisz’s son, Henry, whom she shares with ex Darren Aronofsky.)
In a rare comment in April 2023, Weisz shed light into the couple’s home life, telling Stephen Colbert during the April 20 episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, that, “Daniel and our daughter have been watching Star Wars.”
The Constant Gardener star added, “It was like a father-daughter, kind of, bonding experience, and they started on the original ones.” Weisz then revealed that the youngster “got obsessed” and began asking her mother to Google things like, “What does Darth Vader look like under his mask?”
“She wants to know everything,” Weisz explained. “She’s obsessed with the mythology and these characters are so real for her.”
Weisz added that her daughter had also watched Craig’s brief cameo in 2015’s The Force Awakens which involved Craig depicting a stormtrooper whom Daisy Ridley’s Rey performs a Jedi mind trick upon.
As for Craig, the actor shared insight of his own in November 2024, telling The New York Times he chooses acting projects that allow him to be at home as much as possible. “I’ve got a six-year-old at home,” Craig told the outlet. “And I don’t want to be away from home as much as I have been in the past.”
Craig’s candid comments coincided with the release of his interview on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast, recorded mid-November 2024, which delved into Craig’s thoughts on his sophomore James Bond film Quantum of Solace.
Despite taking pride in the film’s “amazing stunt sequences,” Craig said he felt the movie “didn’t quite work” as a whole. “The storytelling wasn’t there,” he said at the time. “And that’s the abject lesson: going to start a movie without a script, it’s just not a good idea.”
