In a delightful revelation, social media influencer Ilana Wiles recently shared her experience of living beneath Hollywood power couple Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in New York City. In a TikTok post, Wiles humorously recounted how she would often tell friends about her celebrity neighbors, sparking curiosity and envy among her followers.
