Daniel Craig has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California.

A week after his final James Bond movie was released, the actor became the 2,704th celebrity to have his name placed on 7007 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, BBC News reports.

His star was unveiled in a rare evening ceremony and was introduced by Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, as well as No Time To Die co-star Rami Malek.

The 53-year-old' star is just yards away from Sir Roger Moore, who played Bond between 1973 and 1985.

Craig, who has played 007 since 2006, said it was an "absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood".

"To Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, I thank you from the depth of my heart, without you I would not be here today, thank you for those lovely words. Thank you to Rami for those beautiful, beautiful words," he said.

"I never thought I would hear myself say this, but it's an absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood."

He added: "If happiness was measured by the company we keep then me being on this pavement surrounded by all of these legends makes me a very, very, very happy man. So thank you very much."

Malek, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Queen singer Freddy Mercury in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, plays supervillain Safin in the latest installment of Bond's adventures.

Speaking at the ceremony, he praised Craig as an actor and co-star. "We all know he's a superb actor, he's dedicated, he can handle all his own stunts with one hand tied behind his back and the other holding a Negroni," he said.

"But he's as fastidious about his craft as he is about his empathy for everyone around him.

"He has this ability to hold these two potentially opposing things at the same time - an incredible amount of talent and responsibility and an incredible warmth and acute awareness of what those around him need."

Craig also joins fellow Bond actors Pierce Brosnan, David Niven, and Barry Nelson on the Walk of Fame, although the late Sir Sean Connery does not have a star, BBC News reports.

No Time To Die has earned the highest opening weekend takings of any Bond movie in the UK.

The film will be released in the United States on 8 October.

Stars on the Walk of Fame are awarded every year by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, chosen from several applicants.

Recipients also pay a sponsorship fee of $50,000, which covers the cost of creating and installing the star, along with the maintenance of the attraction.
