Daniel Craig: I got a whole set of injuries on James Bond set

Actor was in pain filming Quantum Of Solace

Daniel Craig went to hospital twice

Daniel Craig was involved in a series of scrapes while filming the latest James Bond movie.

The actor says working on Quantum Of Solace was even more gruelling than shooting his first 007 movie Casino Royale.

‘The last time I pulled my Achilles tendon and was limping around a lot – I was in major pain a lot of the shooting,’ he says.

‘But now it’s a whole new set of injuries.

‘I’ve been even more physically involved in every aspect of this film, so accidents are bound to happen.’

Daniel, 40, was rushed to hospital twice during filming – once for gash on his face that required eight stitches and then for a broken finger.

But he says he was happy to push himself to the limit.

‘I thought if Casino Royale failed, I could just walk away and say: “OK, I screwed that up” and go off and try something else,’ he tells the Sunday Express.

‘Now we have to prove the last one wasn’t just a fluke. This is even more important to me than it was before.’

Quantum Of Solace is released in October.
