Insurers have been involved with film financing for many years. Lloyd's of London had to pay for Liz Taylor's stay at the Savoy while starring in the disastrous 1960s film, Cleopatra.
However, the entanglement of the two industries has gone even further, according to an eminent insurance lawyer.
He is currently working on a case involving a film finance deal that went sour - the unusual bit being that the underwriter involved wangled himself a walk-on part in the film.
Whether they will play the segment in court is yet to be decided.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
