Being James Bond has its perks, but it also seems that the job comes with a few risks. Recently, Daniel Craig was in Rome shooting a chase scene for the upcoming movie “Spectre: when he was injured. The report comes from the {L.A. Times}, stating that during filming, the Aston Martin DB10 that was Craig was in hit a large pothole causing him to hit his head inside the car.
Craig was seen by a medic on the scene, but was deemed to be in perfectly fine health. There was no word on if the DB10, one of only ten to ever be built, was injured in the filming. There was also no word on if the Jaguar C-X75 being driven by the villain hit the pothole.

There has been a lot of discussion around head injuries with relation to the various racing drivers who have been subjected to large head trauma over the last year or so. Thankfully Daniel Craig’s injury was only minor.
