In a time where Hollywood has been giving one sequel after another and calling it the next big blockbuster, one of the only ones that lived up to its name was Daniel Craig’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The movie came at a time when sequels had been nothing but underwhelming, with the exception of one or two projects. Spin-offs, reboots, and sequels seemed to be somewhat trending and everywhere one looked, that was all being offered.
In that chaos stood Knives Out 2, alone and proud. Much like the first part, the second one was just as thrilling. It was filled with drama and humor. The element of mystery was nothing the fans were deprived of. Above all that, the line delivery for some scenes had been so hilariously charming that even Edward Norton made one of Daniel Craig’s lines his ringtone.
Edward Norton Had Daniel Craig as his Ringtone
Edward Norton and Daniel Craig got an opportunity to work together in the Knives Out sequel. The movie was highly liked and critically acclaimed, making it an easy success. There were various jokes in the movie that made the fans chuckle, however, they were not alone. As per Looper, Norton found himself laughing too much at one joke.
“Daniel did a thing when I ask him what drink he’ll have. And Blanc said, ‘What do you have?’ And I said, ‘Well, I have everything,’ and he said — I think he ad-libbed this because it’s not in the script, right? He goes, ‘Oh, well, in that case, I’ll have a Chateau de Cristo Pastis, s’il vous plait.”
Benoit Blanc’s drink order had been so funny to the actor that he ended up making it his own ringtone. It made him crack up so badly because the entire line had been pure improvisation, something he was even more amused by.
Daniel Craig Almost Changed the Line
Via Looper, Edward Norton revealed that he was not alone in laughing at Daniel Craig’s joke. The James Bond actor also began laughing immediately after he delivered the line, thinking it was too much and should be changed. However, Norton did not think so.
“He immediately laughed, and he turned to me and said, ‘Did I go too far? And I was like, ‘Don’t change a thing.'”
When Craig asked him about it, Norton confirmed that he should not change anything about that line at all because of how perfectly executed it was. Not only did it make a wonderful joke, but it made a rather catchy ringtone.
