CHESTER-BORN James Bond star Daniel Craig is among a host of actors to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019, it has been announced.

He was on the list from hundreds of nominees recommended to the Walk Of Fame Selection Committee of The Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce.

Wirral-educated Craig is being honoured, along with veteran actor Robert De Niro and The Devil Wears Prada's Anne Hathaway, in the Motion Pictures category.

2019 will be a big year for the actor as he will conclude his run as the world’s most famous secret agent in the 25th Bond film. The 50-year—old has been given licence to thrill as 007 again and will portray Bond for the fifth and, according to Craig, final time.

Craig was born on Liverpool Road in Chester and later lived briefly in Frodsham, where his dad Tim ran the Ring O’Bells pub. After his parents split up in 1972, Craig moved to Liverpool with his mother Carol Olivia (known as Olivia) and then to Hoylake, attending Hilbre High School.

He took up amateur dramatics with Heswall Woolgatherers, before moving to London to pursue his acting dreams and going on to star in the BBC drama series Our Friends in the North.

The next Bond film will be the 25th in the series. It is due out in November next year.

Craig made his debut as 007 in 2006's Casino Royale and has since played the spy in Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).

The actor will be joined by Alan Arkin, Guillermo del Toro, Lupita Nyong’o, Tyler Perry and Gena Rowlands.
