Media Mogul Sir Richard Branson has filmed a cameo role for the upcoming James Bond movie ‘Casino Royale'.

Sir Richard filmed the role in Miami and the producers allowed him a little ‘product placement' with Virgin Airlines getting a prominent position.

In a statement, Sir Richard said “James Bond is original, cool and sophisticated - just like an airline I know.”

“Virgin Atlantic is delighted to be a global partner of the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, and I'm just a little excited to be playing a cameo in the film.

“Having met Daniel Craig and the rest of the team on set, I have no doubt that Casino Royale will be one of the most successful James Bond films ever.”

The movie will premiere later this year.
