"It's good to be the king", once said Mel Brooks. Not bad Mr.Brooks, but trust us, it's way better to be James Bond!
While "the King" used to have a lot of privileges around his castle, he never got an Aston Martin. Of course he didn't, don't be silly, there were no Aston Martins back in the 15th century.

This is why being James Bond is better and fun, especially if your real name is Daniel Craig, who, as we already know, got a free pass to drive any Aston Martin model any time he likes for the rest of his life.

Moreover, it looks like the V12 Vantage Roadster showed up at his door last weekend wasn't there just for a drive, but as a birthday gift. According to Daily Mail, the attention-grabbing red sportscar set the Skyfall actor back a whooping $224,000 (GBP 150,000).

Looking at the pictures, Craig is more than happy with his gift (notice the satisfied grin) and it didn't him too long to sign the delivery papers.

Daniel Craig already starred in two James Bond movies, Casino Royale (2006) and Skyfall (2012).
