In the world of Hollywood, there are few names as famous and legendary as Daniel Craig. After more than a decade of stellar acting in films like “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall,” Craig is one of the most in-demand actors working today. But behind the scenes, there was a bit of a scandal when it was revealed that Craig had an ex-wife and two children. Fiona Loudon has spoken out about her time with Craig and how they divorced. In her book “Notorious: The Life and Crimes of James Bond”, Loudon gives a fascinating look into Craig’s personal life and how it has shaped his career. Loudon spoke to INSIDER about her new book, what she thinks of Craig now, and more.
Fiona Loudon: Childhood, Education and Early Career
Fiona Loudon was born in 1970 in London, England. She studied at the University of Exeter and graduated with a degree in Fine Art. Loudon got her start in the art world working as an assistant to the artist Grayson Perry. Her first solo exhibition was in 2002. Loudon has since exhibited her work around the world including museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Britain, and the Frick Collection. In 2002 she married Daniel Craig who became her second husband. The couple had two children before divorcing in 2013.
Marriage to Daniel Craig
With a net worth of over £75 million and an illustrious career in acting, many people would be content with their life. But for Fiona Loudon, life was never the same after she married Daniel Craig in 2008.
Daniel Craig is one of the most popular actors in the world and Fiona Loudon was soon seen as his glamorous wife. The couple had two children together but within six years of their wedding, rumors began to circulate that their marriage was on the rocks.
In a bombshell interview with Vanity Fair, Fiona Loudon opened up about her tumultuous relationship with Daniel Craig and how it ended. She claims that he was physically and emotionally abusive toward her and that he would often hit her during their fights.
Fiona Loudon has since filed for divorce from Daniel Craig and has been living a quiet life away from the limelight. She is now focused on raising her children alone and letting them know that they can achieve anything they want if they put their mind to it.”
The Dangers of Divorce for Famous People
Divorce is not a simple process, and it can have serious consequences for famous people. Fiona Loudon, the ex-wife of Daniel Craig, tells us all about the dangers of getting divorced.
Fiona Loudon is a well-known journalist and author who has written extensively on marriage and divorce. In an interview with the Telegraph, she warned that celebrities are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of divorce.
First of all, divorcing a celebrity can be financially devastating. A study by Forbes magazine found that the average celebrity earns $111 million over the course of their career, but after getting divorced they typically lose half of this income. This is because most courts award custody of any children to the spouse who was more financially stable during the marriage.
Secondly, Divorce can damage a celebrity’s reputation. This is because it often becomes public knowledge (especially if there are children involved) and this can damage their image both professionally and personally. For example, when Pamela Anderson split from then-husband Rick Salomon in 2001 it was front page news around the world and it badly affected her career. Similarly, when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced in 2006 it was widely reported and impacted their box office takings enormously.
Finally, Divorce can cause huge emotional stress for celebrities. Often they were expecting to spend their whole lives with their spouse and when that relationship ends it can be very difficult to cope with. This is especially true if there are children involved
Kids and Daniel Craig
Since Daniel Craig’s split from wife Fiona Loudon in May, the former Bond actor has been seen out with a new female companion on a regular basis. But is this the end of his marriage?
Craig was most recently spotted out with a brunette woman – reportedly his new girlfriend – at an L.A. restaurant on 18th July. Sources say they were ” seen holding hands and giggling” as they left the eatery.
But given that Craig and Loudon have been married for six years and share two children, it’s not surprising that the 41-year-old actress may be keen to move on. In fact, she hinted as much when she told The Sun newspaper: “Daniel and I are still friends but we’re not together.”
Nonetheless, with rumors swirling that Craig is set to marry his mystery brunette during Christmas break, it seems unlikely that he will be divorcing his ex anytime soon…
