Being 007 has left me so battered I need a knee op, says Daniel Craig as he reveals he injured himself filming Spectre fight scene
Given his penchant for flying planes through buildings and bouts of old-fashioned fisticuffs, 007 might be expected to pick up his fair share of knocks.
But Daniel Craig, 47, has revealed that just because the daring escapades he portrays on screen are fictional, it does not mean he is safe from injury.
He told yesterday of how he is set to go under the knife yet again because of a knee injury he picked up while filming a fight scene for Spectre with the hulking villain Mr Hinx.
And this is far from the first time Craig had taken a beating in the line of duty.
The sculpted body that emerged from the sea during 2006’s Casino Royale has been repeatedly put through the ringer during his nine years as Bond and, with the stunts becoming more breathtaking in each film, the injuries are becoming more serious.
He once complained: ‘I hurt myself every day,’ and said on the BBC’s Graham Norton Show last night: ‘I’ve had my right shoulder re-constructed, my right and left knees operated on and my thumb hurts!’
His time as James Bond got off to an inauspicious start on Casino Royale when two of his teeth were accidentally knocked out during his first stunt. The damage was so severe his dentist had to fly out from London to the film location to fix caps into his mouth.
Given the number of injuries Craig sustained making Quantum Of Solace in 2008, it’s surprising he came out in one piece.

Spectre’s knee injury, during a fight scene with the hulking villain Mr Hinx (pictured), appears to be the most serious knock yet requiring two sessions of surgery to put Craig back on track
A blow to his face saw a plastic surgeon called in, Craig was later rushed off set after slicing off the top of his finger, he tore a muscle in his shoulder, and an accident in Panama left him with badly bruised ribs.
Spectre’s knee injury appears to be the most serious knock yet, requiring two sessions of surgery to put Craig back on track. He is to have a relatively quiet few months while he takes time to recuperate before appearing in a stage production of Othello in 2016.
