With Liverpool currently in the United States for their pre-season tour, they are expected to be interacting with some Hollywood A-listers, but Mohamed Salah and Co. were in for a pleasant surprise when Daniel Craig dropped in to have a chat with the players at the MetLife Stadium.
Salah and Sadio Mane were on target in the second-half to give the Reds a 2-1 win over Manchester City in their International Champions Cup fixture on Thursday morning and they were rewarded for their goalscoring exploits with a visit from James Bond himself.
Craig, 50, is a massive Liverpool fan and is a regular fixture at Anfield when the Premier League season is underway.
Here’s the video of the British actor interacting with James Milner, Salah and Mane in the dressing room:

Not sure who was more star struck, Craig or Salah? But, everyone was all smiles and why wouldn’t they be?
