Daniel Craig Cuts Finger During 'Quantum of Solace' Filming

Bond actor rushed to the hospital, but returned to filming later that day

Up next : Olga Kurylenko breaks a fingernail, full 8 page in-depth report with shocking photos

I don't buy into the "QOS is jinxed" stuff.Never have.

I can understand DC being taken to the local emergency room.Ouch .

It's merely a way for some news sites to drum up that extra bit of drama, in my opinion.

It could be just another lost a tooth story, because I wonder, why we haven�t heard anything before of his face been injured and stitched.

"You know what I can do with my little finger...nothing. Ow."

I wonder what he was doing to get his finger tip sliced off...playing with knifes / a knife?

Well, it made its way to this front page....

News update, tabloid headlines next to read.....

Daniel Craig forgets to do his shoelaces up in a double knot and COULD have fallen over as a result

Seriously though, surely these injuries are to be expected, I seem to recall someone saying it was an action film with lots of extra action. With a lot of action accidents should be anticipated hence that it was all dealt with together with the earlier stitches. The fact that the source may have been a bloke stuffing a sausage roll into his mouth whilst driving and being on a mobile phone at the same time and saw something doesn't make it even decent tabloid fodder really!

I would think, as he is an actor who has close ups, it is the facial injury which is of most concern.

Yeah I don't know about this report. Usually if someone from QoS set breathes loudly it makes BBC or AP Press/Reuters and I haven't seen anything about the finger cut, certainly nothing about DC getting his face cut. Fingers bleed like a mofo there are more blood vessels there, so it probably looked worse than it was, if that finger injury happened.

He got banged up in Casino Royale. Craig got a black eye from the stairwell fight, pulled a muscle or a tendon in his leg from the free running, busted his hand in the opening fight in the toilets, smashed his hand into a mirror and it swelled up like a balloon, he said. Its an action movie there will be some accidents and a lot of bumps and bruises, and perhaps cut fingers.

I wouldn't call this cursed either. They can say that about lots of movies, Poltergeist, Twilight Zone:The Movie(and it's horrific accident), Jaws, you name it you can fix a jinx to any movie where accidents or set backs happen. Doesn't make it real.

What? Daniel cuts his finger, I say blame Amy Winehouse. I can see the headlines now, WINEHOUSE CURSE STRIKES AGAIN!

Interesting how headlines are constructed.

In my mind, there's a bit of a difference (no pun intended) between merely "cutting" one's finger and "cutting off" one's finger. So there wasn't enough room in the headline to include the more descriptive and accurate word "off"?

I sincerely hope that he wasn't badly hurt but I do wish that the newspapers would report with some real degree of accuracy and a lot less drama. They WOULD have to have had trained medical teams in attendance as the UK is very health and safety conscious, unless he WAS seriously hurt I doubt that he was taken/rushed anywhere, unless it was for a second opinion (and even then not really rushed). If they went to a local hospital they would have had to wait like everyone else. The NHS in the UK is very "jobsworth" and an emergency is an emergency is an emergency, trust me, and as a result I doubt that his celebrity would have escalated his position on the list much as ther would have been people far more badly injured!

He�s clearly trying to increase the draw speed of his middle finger by shaving a few layers off so he can get the drop on tabloid reporters.
