Daniel Craig Becomes The ‘Highest-Paid James Bond Ever

Daniel Craig is the highest-paid James Bond star ever as the Spectre action hero is said to be in line to earn around £39million for his role in 007’s latest adventure. 

According to The Sun, the actor’s deal for his salary and profit share is worth more than the combined earnings of all the men to take on the role. A source close to MGM said: 

Daniel’s deal means he’ll bank $24million (£15.66m) for acting, around $6million (£3.82m) for endorsements and $30million (£19.58m) if the financial projections are on course.”Even taking inflation into account he is by far the highest paid Bond actor.”

Craig’s predecessor Pierce Brosnan is said to be in second place with £24.4million across his four films, whilst George Lazenby pulled in just £34,000 for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.  However, he says his deal with Bond series is done.

When asked if he would film another, the actor said 
Now? I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists.  “No, not at the moment. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on.”
