What's up with Daniel Craig's accent?

Question

I simply cannot place his accent. Where's he from? Is he really the right choice for the new James Bond?

Answer 1

He was born in Chester which is just outside Liverpool, but spent most of his childhood living with his sister in Liverpool, so he basically has a scouse accent.

For the Americans out there, that's the same accent as the Beatles !

For anyone from the UK, think Cilla Black !

Answer 2

Daniel Craig is from England so that gives him the accent.
I don't think he was the right choice for James Bond...

Answer 3

Sounds like ex pat Aussie

Biography
He was born in Chester, the son of a steel erector and an art teacher. He was brought up in Prescot, near Liverpool and Frodsham, near Chester. He also attended Hilbre High School, West Kirby (near Liverpool) and played rugby at nearby Hoylake Rugby Club. After briefly attending Sixth Form at Calday Grange Grammar School, he moved to London when he was 16 to join the National Youth Theatre, later securing a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Craig's film career began with The Power of One in 1992 and he later gained wider recognition in the UK with a co-starring role in the critically acclaimed BBC2 drama serial Our Friends in the North in 1996. In 1998, he showed a nascent flair for risk-taking in John Maybury's gritty Love is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon, in which his full-frontal nudity complimented the overtly gay nature of the role.

Following a more lighthearted introduction to international audiences as Angelina Jolie's rival and sometime love interest in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), he raised his profile in the United States in Sam Mendes' movie Road to Perdition (2002), with Tom Hanks, playing Connor Rooney, the son of Irish mob boss and a conniving murderer who hides behind his mobster father's shadow. Other leading film roles have included Sylvia (2003) with Gwyneth Paltrow and consecutive films for Roger Michell, The Mother (2003) with Anne Reid, and Enduring Love (2004) with Rhys Ifans. In 2005, Craig played a Mossad agent in Steven Spielberg's controversial, Oscar-nominated political thriller, Munich.

On October 9, 2005, the News of the World newspaper revealed that Craig had allegedly been having an affair with Sienna Miller, his co-star in Layer Cake (2005). Miller had recently been engaged to Jude Law.

In 2006, after completing work on Casino Royale (see below), Craig moved on to portraying the Devil in the upcoming I, Lucifer, based on Glen Duncan's bestseller, alongside Ewan McGregor. He has also been cast as the character of Lord Asriel in the forthcoming film adaptation of Philip Pullman's novel The Golden Compass.[1] This role had previously been played in a stage version of the book by Timothy Dalton, one of Craig's predecessors in the role of James Bond.
