EXCLUSIVE: THE NAME'S BOND.. BROKE BOND BIFF! 007 Craig loses two front teeth in first fight scene BASH! The baddie who whacked him was only a henchman
Craig, 37, was in Prague filming the remake of Casino Royale when the stunt went wrong.
As the shaken star staggered backwards clutching his bleeding mouth, cameramen thought it was a brilliant piece of acting.
But they quickly realised the new 007 was really hurt. His injuries were so bad local dentistry experts could not treat him. So Craig's dentist was flown out from London for emergency surgery in the Czech capital Prague.
An insider said: "Daniel was filming with some minor actors when he got hit in the face. He was reeling from a heavy blow and staggered back holding his face.
"He put his hand to his mouth but the blood started to seep through his fingers - it was horrible. He did not make a fuss though, and fortunately the accident will not affect the film.
"He soon got back to work, and will just have to wear a gumshield during action scenes for the film.
How about Antonio Banderas? I think he could take the Bond flix to a new level.
