Daniel Craig's mother is not Irish, Ryan Tubridy learned after questioning the 007 star on Friday night's Late Late Show.
The megastar told Tubs his mother has Welsh roots when asked if she was from the Emerald Isle, but he still has a gra for this country.
Craig told viewers: "Yes. I mean, I love Ireland. I think I want to retire to Ireland if they will have me [laughing].”
The man who plays James Bond was speaking on the RTE show ahead of the latest movie release on September 30, admitting he was very grateful for the role.
He said: "I feel very happy and grateful to be given a chance to make this last one and also very grateful for the fact that we managed finally to get it to cinemas and it not go elsewhere.
"Obviously, a lot has happened over the past year and a bit, and this is so low down the list of priorities, but it was just the hope that we would manage to get it into the cinemas and here we are we got a premiere and everything. So, I am just, I am very excited about all of that.”
Craig also opened up about how he still loves the role after all these years, adding: "I was worried that I would kind of get sick of it and I never did, no.
"As long as there was somewhere we could take it and we could sort of go somewhere new and there was always something fresh to do then I was happy, I was very happy with it. It’s odd, I have never played a role over and over and over again.
"I think it really snapped into focus in this film that it is a character I play… and who it is, and I won’t ever do that again. I suppose that is quite moving, that makes me quite emotional, yes.”
