• Craig and Bardem have their birthdays one day apart and once decided to celebrate together.
• Bardem revealed he dressed in drag and jumped out of a cake to celebrate Craig.

Javier Bardem dressed in drag and jumped out of a cake to surprise Daniel Craig for his birthday, the Bond actor revealed in a recent interview.

The two actors were discussing their roles in "No Time to Die" and "Being the Ricardos" as part of Variety's annual "Actors on Actors" series.

Craig and Bardem, who have their birthdays one day apart in March, once decided to celebrate together after becoming friends on the set of the 2012 Bond film "Skyfall," they revealed during the conversation.

"I remember you were in drag, but I know that's a whole other story," Craig began.

Bardem added later that he popped "out of a cake" that night "dressed like a Bond girl."

"I was supposed to be the Bond girl that night, and oh, my God, I was," he quipped. "I sang 'Happy Birthday  to You,' my best Marilyn Monroe impersonation. When they told me to sing, I was like, 'Are you sure of that? Are you sure you want me singing?' And then I try."

Bardem isn't Craig's only famous friend, of course. The British actor also enjoys a friendship with his "Casino Royale" costar, Mads Mikkelsen, and his "A Steady Rain" costar, Hugh Jackman.
