A new vodka commercial featuring Daniel Craig has made sensations in the entertainment arena. In the commercial, directed by Taika Waititi, the James Bond actor shows some killer dance moves. The advertisement, in which the 54-year-old actor can be seen dancing, promotes Belvedere Vodka.

The commercial begins with the 007 icon offering smirk while wearing a white suit. However, as the ad continues, Craig can be seen in swag. In the second part of the commercial, he comes out of a car in an all-black dress complemented by a leather jacket and glasses. Craig then enters the Cheval Blanc Paris hotel's lobby while showing his dance moves. After that, he graces the screen in white jeans and a vest. Later, the actor heads toward a mini fridge with a bottle of Belvedere vodka inside it.

Later, Daniel Craig opens the cap of the bottle, pours himself a glass of vodka, takes a sip, and says "finally" before hearing the words "And cut!" which are shouted by Taika Waititi, who also has made an appearance in the commercial. Interestingly, at the end of the commercial, Waititi asks Craig to be himself and says, "Let's go again."
