James Bond star donates to suicide prevention

Daniel Craig has donated PS10,000 (approximately J$2 million) to three fathers walking for a suicide prevention charity.

The James Bond star made the generous donation to Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen, who are undertaking a 300-mile walk in the UK in memory of their daughters Sophie, Beth and Emily for the charity Papyrus.

The trio described the donation from Craig as "fantastic" and were thrilled that he allowed them to publicise the gesture.

Airey told The Guardian newspaper: "We found out about it yesterday morning, as Mike and Tim were travelling up to Cumbria -- we were WhatsApping each other in state of surprise.

"By the time they'd arrived, we'd got a note saying Daniel Craig was happy to have his name attached to it, which was just fantastic -- it's a very generous donation, but to actually have the person who's the single most famous actor in the world at the moment being happy to help was just brilliant."

Craig reprises his role as James Bond for the final time in the new 007 movie No Time To Die, parts of which were shot in Jamaica.
