Daniel Craig Is Having 'Minor Ankle Surgery' After Sustaining an Injury on the Set of 'Bond 25'

Daniel Craigis having surgery after getting injured on the set ofBond 25.

In a statement released on the film’s Twitter account, it was revealed the 51-year-old actor would be “undergoing minor ankle surgery resulting from an injury sustained during filming in Jamaica.”

“Production will continue whilst Craig is rehabilitating for two weeks post-surgery. The film remains on track for the same release date in April 2020,” the statement read.

He was injured twice while filming 2008’sQuantum of Solaceand wore a sling during the promotional tour after he had surgery to repair his shoulder.

“It wasn’t an essential operation but if I don’t do it now, I could do something on the next movie and rip it out of its socket,” he said. “It’s just a pain in the ass, really, and it’ll be a long wait before it heals properly.”
