With his piercing blue eyes, super stacked physique and dapper dress sense, Daniel Craig has the power to get the whole nation all hot and bothered.

So what else does the 39-year-old star have going for him? Well, he's also rolling in it.

The suave actor has just become Britain's highest paid thespian after signing a £13 million contract for two further James Bond films.

Dashing Daniel, who played 007 in Casino Royale, will receive £5 million for the 22nd instalment of the long-running series to begin filming in December and £8 million for a third movie, reports the Sunday Express.

Leon Forde of movie magazine Screen International, told the paper: "The fact is that he's become integral to the success of the Bond franchise and I'm not surprised that he's been given a new contract.

"Eon are obviously doing everything they can to keep him on board."

Who can blame them - he is hot!
