Daniel Craig Risked His Life Many Times as James Bond Yet Needed His Bodyguard’s Help For a Simple Scene With Ana De Armas


It’s not easy to portray James Bond. Daniel Craig had to sustain all the injuries that his British spy character received to make the story more compelling. All of these deadly stunts were performed by Craig himself. From shooting guns to physical combat, the actor trained himself well.
His commitment to the role took a toll on his body after spraining his ankle during Spectre (2015) which forced him to file for resignation. Of course, this did not happen as Craig reprised his role, though he opted not to perform as many dangerous stunts as possible.

Daniel Craig Could Not Pull Off This One Scene In Knives OutIn his interview on The Graham Norton Show, Tomb Raider actor Daniel Craig mentioned all of the injuries he suffered from filming James Bond. He revealed:
“I’ve had my right shoulder reconstructed. I have had this left knee operated on, my right knee operated on, my thumb hurts…”

He also told GQ how the whole fiasco that affected him physically and mentally resulted in a five-year break from work. Craig admitted:
“I was never going to do one again. I was like, ‘Is this work really genuinely worth this, to go through this, this whole thing?’ And I didn’t feel… I felt physically really low. So, the prospect of doing another movie was just, like, off the cards. And that’s why it has been five years.”

The 55-year-old English actor suffered a lot from his James Bond movies, and all of those stunts he mostly did without any help from his stunt doubles. Interestingly, in one of Craig’s projects, he actually needed the help of his bodyguard.
Craig starred in Rian Johnson’s hit Netflix film Knives Out (2019) as Benoit Blanc, the main character who works as a private investigator. In the movie’s home video release, the director revealed that Craig could not whistle (via Film School Rejects).

There was a scene where Benoit Blanc had to whistle to call Ana de Armas’ Marta Cabrera, but the actor admitted he could not do it. They resolved to use Craig’s bodyguard, who stood 3 feet away from the camera to the left, to do the whistle.
Will There Be Knives Out 3?
After director Rian Johnson confirmed the third installment to the murder mystery film series, fans are excited to see Daniel Craig wear his detective suit again. The filmmaker has previously stated that he has started writing the script for Knives Out 3. He told Total Film via Slash Film:
“I had so much fun making this one, and the creative challenge of figuring out a third movie that’s completely different from both this one and the first one — right now, that’s the most interesting creative challenge to me. So, I might just dive in and see what we come up with.”
The Knives Out movies have become vital to Craig’s career as he slowly turns away from his stint as James Bond. As fans discover more layers to his character in the upcoming whodunit film, Craig will yet to show more of his talent in this feature.
Knives Out, streaming on Netflix.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
