Good looks run in the family! Daniel Craig may have stepped away from the James Bond franchise, but his daughter, Ella Loudon, looks like she could make a mark of her own in the 007 movies. 

Who is Daniel Craig's daughter Ella Loudon?

Ella, now 34, is Daniel's child from his marriage to Fiona Loudon. They divorced two years after their daughter was born in 1992.

While Fiona has stepped away from the spotlight, Ella is making her own mark as an artist, writer, model and primarily, an actress, appearing both on stage and on screen.

Ella splits her time primarily between London and New York, her most notable credit being a recurring turn in the play Women of Will, which puts a modern spin on several Shakespeare characters. Most recently, the play took center stage at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

As of 2026, her most recent on-screen appearance was a supporting part in the film One Night Only with Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro. 

Daniel's family with Rachel Weisz

The Knives Out star has been married to Rachel Weisz since 2011, though they keep their own family out of the spotlight.

The uber-private couple welcomed a daughter in 2018 together and she is also a mom to her son, Henry, with her former partner, director Darren Aronofsky.

Ella's relationship with stepmom Rachel

The two actresses seemingly share a tight bond as well. In a 2026 interview with ACHTUNG, when asked about her favorite pieces in her closet, Ella shouted out her parents plus her stepmom.

"A white wool jumper that my dad gave me that I've had since my early teens, with the words 'Salty Dog'," she said at first. From her mom Fiona: "Or this one Versace corset that my mum got in her late teens that I treasure," and then: "My step mama got me into the designer Ossie Clark, and I now have a few of his iconic pieces. The floral prints and crepe fabric are delicious, they make me feel sexy and confident and smile from the inside."

Beyond being a film star, Ella is also a stage actress, artist and model

Similarly, the The Mummy star has also spoken about the comfort of having an older sibling in the house when parenting her younger kids. Speaking to The Guardian, Rachel said it was the usual "morning chaos" getting her teenage son, and young daughter out of the house, with Ella's help. "My stepdaughter took my littlest one to school, thankfully, but still," she said. "Chaos". 

On balancing her busy work life with being a parent, she added: "When you have kids you do have to concentrate more on not bringing it home. And it is a skill to learn, that discipline. I think personally, it's a skill that's made me better at my job and better at my life – keeping the two very separate."
