Movie hunk Daniel Craig was left truly shaken and stirred after an injury to his tackle while playing James Bond, as we reported yesterday.
The 53-year-old actor revealed he got splinters from a piece of wood meant to protect his privates during a scene from 2006 flick Casino Royale, where villain Le Chiffre whips him naked.
But it’s not the only freak injury sustained during shooting for the franchise, as revealed below…
DAN-GER MAN
Known for taking on many of his own Bond stunts, Craig, also lost two teeth in a fight scene in Casino Royale.
He then tore his shoulder, gashed his face and sliced off a fingertip on the set of 2008’s Quantum Of Solace.

He ruptured both calf muscles making 2012’s Skyfall and blew a knee ligament for 2015’s Spectre.
The actor also needed an op after injuring his ankle in Jamaica filming No Time To Die, out later this year. He’s said: “I hurt myself every day.”

Playing Bond in 1989’s Licence To Kill, Timothy Dalton lost the top of his finger in a scene with Benicio Del Toro, who played an evil henchman.
He recalled: “It wasn’t really his fault, but we were doing the scene where I’m hanging over a meat grinder and he’s cutting away at the wires holding me, and something went wrong.
Come to think of it, we probably shouldn’t have had a sharp knife.”
Pierce of bad luck
