James Bond: Double Chinese Agent!

British icon Daniel Craig becomes the global ambassador of Denza, the luxury brand of Chinese giant BYD?
The registration number remains the same, but the garage changes its postcode. Daniel Craig, the actor who portrayed a muscular and tormented James Bond for fifteen years, has officially been named global ambassador of Denza, the Premium division of Chinese automaker BYD.
A driver’s license… 100% electric
Forget the eternal clouds of smoke from old British thermal engines. For his new prestigious role, the former agent of Her Majesty is showcased alongside the Denza Z9GT, an electric Shooting Brake producing nearly 1,000 horsepower. One can already imagine Q pulling his hair out in front of such silent technology: no more gadgets needed to go unnoticed when you speed like lightning with zero CO2 emissions.
This partnership, formalized in March 2026, marks a geopolitical turning point in the automotive industry. By acquiring the most famous face of MI6, BYD is not only looking to sell electric vehicles; the Shenzhen giant aims for immediate European credibility. What better than Craig’s raw elegance to appeal to premium drivers still hesitant in the face of China’s rise?
Kisses from China
The transition of the British icon to the flagship of Chinese tech brings a smile to purists. While Bond has always defended the interests of the Crown, Daniel Craig seems to have succumbed to the allure of the Blade Battery and futuristic design.
The actor will be the face of global marketing campaigns, particularly for the European launch planned at the Opéra de Paris. For BYD, it’s a masterstroke: associating sustainable luxury with the image of a man who embodies the pinnacle of chic and performance.
