David Jason - National Treasure Or Greedy Old *** ??
31 Answers
In light of the recent news that David Jason, 80, is charging up to £375.00 for a signed photograph with him, would you say he was a national treasure as loveable rogue Del Boy or a desperate old greedy man who has been milking a comedy career that ended over two decades ago???

I'd describe him as both a national treasure and as an astute businesman (which I thoroughly applaud).
Many other 'national treasures' have charged mega-bucks for things such as personal appearances and after dinner speeeches (with Ronnie Barker quickly coming to mind here), so it's far from unusual.
Politicians make plenty of mone after the main parts of their careers are over, with William Hague making £24k from a single speech, David Cameron charging £120k and Tony Blair getting £195k (source: https:/ /www.lo vemoney .com/ga lleryli st/6436 4/25-pe ople-ma king-a- fortune -from-p ublic-s peaking ).
So I don't see why actors (who're often a lot more popular than politicians anyway) shouldn't make money when they're able to.
