Signing on for the next two 007 flicks has made Daniel Craig Britains highest paid actor.
London, July 23 : Signing on for the next two 007 flicks has made Daniel Craig Britain's highest paid actor.
The actor wowed both critics and audiences with a stellar performance in Casion Royale last year (2006), and now thanks to the amount of mullah the film raked in, Bond bosses at production company Eon have decided to give Craig a pay raise.
The movie took in 300 million pounds at the box office, making it the biggest-grossing Bond film ever.
Craig will now reportedly be pulling in an estimated 5 million pounds for second Bond film, and 8 million pounds for his third, reports the Daily Express.
Leon Forde of movie magazine Screen International said that Craig's pay raise actually came as no surprise, since he's 'become integral' to the franchise's success.
"The fact is that he's become integral to the success of the Bond franchise and I'm not surprised that he's been given a new contract. Eon are obviously doing everything they can to keep him on board," the paper quoted him, as saying.
Eon however refused to comment on Craig's bumper new deal, with a spokesman simply stating that they "never discuss such matters."
