UN Chief Appoints '007 James Bond' Actor Daniel Craig As Global Advocate For The Elimination Of Landmines



Daily Mail: Now pay attention 007, we DON'T want you to blow any of this up: Daniel Craig is appointed U.N. advocate against landmines

* The James Bond actor was given a 'license to save' by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York on Tuesday
* Craig will spend the next three years raising awareness for the U.N. Mine Action Service and political and financial support for the cause
* Just last month, Craig walking cooly through smokey debris moments after a massive move magic explosion erupted on a Mexico City street

As secret agent James Bond, Daniel Craig has a license to kill, but on Tuesday the United Nations gave the British actor a 'license to save' by appointing him as the first global advocate for the elimination of mines and explosive hazards.

Craig - who's often seen standing dangerously close to explosions as the dapper, martini-drinking agent 007 - will spend the next three years raising awareness for the U.N. Mine Action Service and political and financial support for the cause.
