Producers of the latest James Bond flick Quantum of Solace have insured their leading man, Daniel Craig, for a whopping $10m, it has been revealed.

Craig — who insists on doing most of his own stunts — suffered a string of injuries while filming his first outing as the suave British spy in Casino Royale, so producers were taking no chances.

A production insider said: “It’s fair to say that with this movie, Daniel’s insurance premiums have gone through the roof.

“I can’t say for sure how much but there has been talk of him being insured for at least a few million [pounds], even five.

“On Casino Royale Daniel did as many stunts as he could and he’s been doing the same with Quantum.

“But the stakes are a lot higher on this movie especially as there are a lot more action sequences.”

It seems Daniel, 40, relishes the danger though.

He said: “I love having that adrenaline rush. It makes you realize that you are mortal and that life must be enjoyed.”
