LONDON: Daniel Craig has admitted to having plastic surgery to fix injuries sustained on the set of the latest Bond film.
The 40-year-old actor severed his fingertip and had eight stitches in his face after being accidentally kicked by an unnamed “Quantum of Solace” co-star.
“It’s a stupid inconvenience because we had to stop filming. But they gave me an excellent plastic surgeon,” Craig revealed in an interview with Elle magazine.
Craig is also eager to bring a new spin to the popular spy 007’s character.
“I wanted some fallibility. It’s no good if Bond is a cocktail-swigging sexist pig with no interior struggle. Bond is often pissed off or upset, and I wanted to bring that out.”
He is now on his second Bond film after succeeding Pierce Brosnan to make “Casino Royale” in 2006.
However, he added, “I won’t play Bond forever. But I’d like to think I’ve added something to the lineage of how the man has changed.”
