James Bond 25 news: Daniel Craig taking a step back from dangerous stunts?

A report today claims that the actor’s wife, Rachel Weisz, has persuaded him to go easier after collecting a string of injuries whilst making past capers.

A source told The Mirror: “It’s a big bone of contention. Rachel doesn’t want him in agony again. None of his aches and pains have gone away completely.

“There’s a legacy to all these injuries and she lives with them.

“They’ve come to an agreement about how hard he will push himself and he is pulling back from the edge this time. It’s a prerequisite.”

Craig himself had previously revealed the extent of the damage he had done to his body whilst making Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.

“I knackered my knee and had surgery, I’ve had my right shoulder reconstructed, my other knee operated on and my thumb got hurt,” he admitted.

It was only this week that he finally confirmed ongoing speculation that he was to return to the part.

He also, to the disappointment of many, revealed that his next movie as 007 will also be his last.

“No, this is it,” he said when asked if he’d do another film after Bond 25.

“I just want to go out on a high note and I can’t wait.”

The new film is due out in November 2019.
