Daniel Craig has done everything in his career in the James Bond tuxedo. But during the filming of the latest film in the franchise, Dying Can Wait , the actor had to stop… driving! The legendary Aston Martin of 007 was indeed driven by its lining, the stuntman Mark Higgins. The reason ? The shooting was too dangerous.
"You know we have to pretend, right? We no longer have the right to shoot these scenes, even if I am allowed to drive sometimes. They even let me do a skid in the DB5 in Italy, it was great ", revealed Daniel Craig to Top Gear Magazine (relayed by Metro), in reference to the Aston Martin DB 5, the car of the spy.
Too much risk
Daniel Craig did not need to take any additional risk on Dying Can Wait . The 51-year-old actor had already injured his ankle at the start of filming, four years after breaking his knee on the previous film, Specter . The interpreter of James Bond wondered besides, in an interview for Entertainment Weekly , if he had not become a little too old for the action scenes.
“I finished the previous film with a broken leg. I had to ask myself the question: can I shoot another film, or do I want to shoot one? Because having to call his wife to tell her "I broke my leg" is very unpleasant, "he said.
