Daniel Craig’s Memorable Encounter with Dave Bautista on ‘Spectre’ Set

Daniel Craig’s portrayal in “Spectre” may not be his most celebrated Bond performance, but it undeniably features one of his most intense and memorable fight scenes against Dave Bautista’s character, Mr. Hinx.

During a recent guest appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” to promote his final Bond film, “No Time to Die,” Craig shared anecdotes about the filming of this epic showdown where both actors ended up hurting each other.

In a surprising turn of events, Craig accidentally broke Bautista’s nose during a punch, leading to a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment on set.

The incident unfolded as Craig recounted, “I threw a punch and hit him on the nose.

I heard this crack and I was like ‘Oh God no’ and ran away.

I thought he was going to come after me, but he was so sweet.”

Despite the mishap, Bautista displayed remarkable composure by resetting his nose without any fuss, showcasing his resilience and professionalism.

Craig acknowledged Bautista’s toughness, admiring his stoic response to the unexpected injury.

In a twist of fate, Bautista managed to get back at Craig during another segment of the fight scene shoot.

Craig revealed that Bautista, initially handling him with care, became more forceful at Craig’s request for a more authentic throw against a wall.

This escalation resulted in a severe knee injury for Craig, illustrating the unpredictable nature of physical stunts in such high-octane productions.

Reflecting on his tenure as James Bond, Craig expressed mixed emotions about bidding farewell to the iconic role that defined his career.

Producer Barbara Broccoli disclosed that the quest for Craig’s successor won’t commence until 2022, allowing Craig the space for a well-deserved celebration of his legacy.

Craig, in a candid moment with Graham Norton, admitted to feeling a twinge of bitterness when the torch is eventually passed to a new actor, highlighting the personal attachment he developed to the character over the years.

As “No Time to Die” gears up for its U.S. theatrical release on October 8, audiences anticipate Craig’s swan song as the suave secret agent, marking the end of an era in the Bond franchise.

Craig’s journey as 007 has been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, culminating in a poignant farewell that reflects his gratitude towards
