Daniel Craig - Daniel Craig Tore Muscle At The Start Of Skyfall Shoot

The star reprises his role as the suave superspy in Skyfall, the 23rd 007 film, but the British hunk admits he sustained a silly injury as he prepared to shoot the simplest of scenes.

He tells Vanity Fair magazine, "I tore a muscle right at the beginning of this one, crazily, in a kind of warm-up for something, which is what happens.

"The weird thing is, where I hurt myself more is, like, when I have to run down some steps, across a room, sort of through a door. And I'll have to do it 30 times. And we'll be on the 29th take when I come down the steps and sort of twist (my leg)."

The torn muscle wasn't the only ailment Craig suffered on the job - he sparked speculation about a hand injury in June (12) when he was photographed sporting a bandage around his wrist, and he previously underwent a shoulder operation in 2008 after aggravating an old injury while filming action sequences for his second Bond outing, Quantum of Solace.
