Daniel Craigonce brokeDave Bautista’s nose—and the James Bond actor couldn’t have been more terrified!
Craig, 53, appeared onThe Graham Norton Showwhere he was asked to recall some of his worst injuries sustained while shooting his Bond films over the years.
“My knee which was onSpectre. That was Dave Bautista, God bless him, who is a professional wrestler,” Craig said while remembering how Bautista had been “gentle” with him while they were filming a fight scene.
“I ended up on the wall, but my knee was over here somewhere,” Craig said, gesturing away from him. “I knew and it was horrible because if anyone’s had a serious injury, you just know in your head that something is really wrong.”
Craig said he and Bautista filmed the rest of the scene with a brace on his leg and that during filming he “broke” Bautista’s nose.

“It was a mistake,” Craig said. “Like I said, he’s a big guy, he’s a professional wrestler, you wouldn’t really mess with him. I threw this punch, I hit him on the nose, I heard this crack and I thought, ‘Oh god no!’ and ran away.”
Despite causing harm to Bautista, Craig said his fellow actor “was so sweet.”
“He literally did something like this,” Craig said, mimicking snapping his nose back into place, “and went, ‘It’s fine.'”
Craig has played 007 in five films with the upcomingNo Time to Diemarking his final time as the secret agent.
“A lot of people here worked on five pictures with me,” Craig said, holding back tears. “I know there are a lot of things said about what I think of these films, but I’ve loved every single second of these movies. And especially this one because I’ve got up every morning, and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys. And that has been one of the greatest honors of my life.”
