Dave Bautista corrects the story of how Daniel Craig broke his nose while filming Spectre. The 24th film in the James Bond franchise and the second from director Sam Mendes released in 2015 and went on to earn more than $880 million at the global box office. The latest Bond movie, Cary Joji Fukunaga's No Time To Die, is scheduled to release in the US on October 8.
With Craig set to make his fifth and final appearance as the MI6 agent, much of his press tour for No Time To Die has been revisiting his history with the franchise, which included a good amount of physical damage. The Bond actor has been hurt several times filming these stunt-heavy movies, and said his worst injury was to his knee during the Spectre train fight with Bautista's assassin Mr. Hinx. He accidentally got his revenge, though, when he threw a punch that broke Bautista's nose, after which he claimed he yelled and ran off set to avoid potential payback.
Bautista, however, says that last part of the story isn't quite accurate. Craig didn't run, according to his recollection, but did some colorful screaming and hugged the former WWE wrestler to apologize. Bautista says they laughed it off, he quickly tended to his nose and costume, and they got right back to shooting:
Bautista ends his message by expressing love for both Craig and the scene that injured them both, which is a brutal, memorable fight and a standout moment in Spectre. The two smash multiple pieces of the set as they exchange blows, with Hinx's jacket even being lit on fire, until the assassin has Bond virtually defeated and on the verge of death. Only the intervention of Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) gives the gentleman spy enough time to get the upper hand, and Bautista's character ends up violently ejected from the moving train.
It seems that Bautista might have exposed his former co-star embellishing an anecdote for a talk show, but Bond fans are surely loving their back-and-forth. One part of the story that didn't change was the nonchalant way Bautista was able to continue filming, the toughness of which Craig had extolled in his telling. With No Time To Die finally on the horizon, viewers can only hope Fukunaga's film provides a scene as memorable as this one from Spectre, and some equally entertaining behind-the-scenes stories certainly wouldn't hurt.
