JAMES BOND - CRAIG: 'BOND CURSE RUMOUR IS OFFENSIVE'

JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG is appalled by the recent rumours of a "curse" on the set of forthcoming 007 movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE - dismissing the idea as "offensive".
The production of the film was marred by accidents - including a crash which left stuntman Aris Comninos critically injured and an Aston Martin sportscar being accidentally driven into a lake.
Craig also suffered his fair share of injuries - the actor was rushed to hospital after slicing off the top of his finger; he suffered a bruised eye and fractured arm, as well as requiring eight stitches to repair a gash in his face caused during a fight scene.
All of the disasters led internet gossips to speculate about a film curse - but Craig insists the mere suggestion of it is ridiculous.
He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "The thing about the Curse of Bond thing is that it's f**king offensive, really. Let's be honest. It's f**king offensive.
"There's a risk in everything we do and we literally have the best people in the world who do this and every precaution is taken to minimise the risk. But there is a risk. And there's no blame. Taking my finger as part of a 'curse' - that's offensive. This is what we do but it gets magnified and taken out of context."
