Individuals often carry several different types of insurances policies including automobile, health, life and homeowners. Businesses purchase insurance as well, such as commercial auto, liability, property and workers compensation policies. All of these policies are standard fare within the insurance industry. Every now and then, however, certain policies are written that draw attention since they are so unusual.

British actor, Daniel Craig took out a £5 million insurance policy to protect against losses to his body. The actor, who was adamant about doing his own stunts in the 2006 James Bond movie, Casino Royale, took out the policy due to the risks involved in the stunt work. The actor continued to perform his own stunts for the 2008 Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, and is slated for three more Bond films, Skyfall (2012), Bond 24 (2015) and Bond 25 (2018).

  • I don't believe he's slated for 3 more films.
    Three with option for a 4th is what I heard.

    it would be very nice that he makes 3 more.

    I hate to see him leave after 23 and 24 just when people are starting to warm up to him and then we will have to get used to another new actor!!

    us Bond fans do not adapt to abrupt changes!!

    :-D ;;)

    Personally speaking, I think he'll leave Bond sooner rather than later and with all us wanting more. B23 is a crucial film for him.

    Good thing he had that insurance. Look at this photo never released from the set of Casino Royale:

    Looks like he lost a fight with a two fingered Freddy Kruger.
