James Bond actor Daniel Craig
Craig is different from other Bond actors because his portrayal has brought a unique physicality and demeanor to the character.
Before Craig, Bond had a sense of being too perfect to be real, but it was Craig who gave James Bond more depth and made him feel like a real person.
The actor’s physical ruggedness added depth to the character, which made the Bond character even more darker, intriguing, and psychologically complex than ever before.
But to bring the character to life, the actor had to knock the wind out of his sails.
He even suffered life-threatening injuries that required surgeries and left lifelong effects too.

Daniel Craig’s injuries in James Bond movies
Just like Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig is one of those actors who does most of his own stunts.
And he was always ready to endure any injury that came his way — just to deliver realistic action sequences that were physically demanding, too.
This sometimes resulted in accidents and injuries on set.
According to British GQ, Craig’ has an extensive list of James Bond injuries, like he hurt his right shoulder during the filming of Quantum of Solace. Then, while doing a stunt, he reinjured the same shoulder.
During the filming of Skyfall, Craig injured both his calf muscles. He even had to do rehab while also working on the movie.
But it was a surprise when he wanted to continue shooting even after he was injured.

The knee injury almost delayed the movie’s filming for six months and could have also pushed the film’s release.
But despite the required surgery, Craig did not want to stop and wanted to continue working even in pain.
As he told Empire magazine (via Daily Mail):
“This has been a two-year process. Since we began talking about the script, it gets to this point and you say: “We can shut down for six months and you can go have surgery and come back then.”
