Daniel Craig has taken on a new role away from Hollywood by becoming the co-owner of a historic London pub alongside Soho House founder Nick Jones and two other hospitality figures.

Craig has responded to the story with humour, joking that the spirit might have to be offered a pint when the pub reopens.
