With his hair slicked back, 007 star Daniel Craig greeted rows of fans gathered in London for the world premiere of his latest movie "Skyfall".
Back for the third time as James Bond, Craig signed autographs before hitting the red carpet, telling the media that he was excited about the film's big night.
SOUNDBITE: Daniel Craig saying (English):
"It's been a great pleasure and a ride and to just to sort of have the premiere here tonight is kind of insane I mean I have been to a few big premieres but this I think tops them all."
The 23rd official Bond film brings together Craig and actor Javier Bardem, who makes his franchise debut as villain Silva.
Also on the guest list were Skyfall's grande dame - Judi Dench, back as Bond's superior M.
"Skyfall" opens in the U.K. on October 26 and around the world in early November.
