Daniel Craig turns down $100 million

After British actor Daniel Craig revealed in an interview last year that he would rather ‘slash his wrists’ than act in another James Bond film, it has been revealed that the actor turned down a lucrative two-film deal from MGM.

According to Dailymail.co.uk, a source said, “They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn’t what he wanted. He had told people after shooting that this (Spectre) would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal.”

The source added that Craig’s “knee problems and general exhaustion” from shooting for the role also contributed to his refusal to accept the $100 million offer.
