Daniel Craig ‘offered $150 million to return as James Bond’

    Many men and women too, for that matter – would love to play James Bond. Most of us would also love $150 million.

    The 007 actor, who has played the spy since 2005, has reportedly been offered the hefty sum listed above to return to the franchise for two more films. But Craig has made no secret of his reluctance to step back into the famous tuxedo.

    “The studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor,” source.

    The source also suggested that by playing coy – remember when he told an interviewer he’d rather “slash his wrists” than immediately return to Bond? Craig has only upped his perceived value. He’s essentially made himself into the man too cool to play Bond.
