English actor Daniel
Craig has said that after he does not want to leave too much of his wealth
to his children. The actor was recently said to be receiving $100 million (approx.
Rs 744 crore) upfront for Knives Out sequels in a recent report. He will also
reportedly pocket $25 million (Rs 185 crore) for the upcoming James Bond movie.
But the actor’s kids likely will not see much of it.
He said in an interview with
Candis Magazine, “Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person,
you’ve failed? I think Andrew Carnegie gave away what in today’s money would be
about $11 billion, which shows how rich he was because I’ll bet he kept some of
it, too.
“My philosophy is get rid of
it or give it away before you go,” Craig added.
Craig also said that for him
it is “distasteful” for him to leave his money to his children. He has two
children, one with ex-wife Fiona Loudon and one with current wife and actor
Rachel Weisz. Weisz also has a kid with Darren Aronofsky.
Meanwhile, Daniel Craig
will next be seen in the much-awaited 25th James Bond movie. Titled No
Time to Die, the film has been delayed multiple times. Its current release date
is September 30 in the UK and October 8 in the US.
Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris,
Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, and Léa Seydoux reprise their roles
from previous films, while Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, David
Dencik, Dali Benssalah and Billy Magnussen join the franchise with No Time To
Die.
He will also reprise the role
of Detective Benoit Blanc in the sequels to Rian Johnson’s Knives out.
