DANIEL CRAIG has admitted having plastic surgery to fix injuries sustained on the set of the latest Bond film.

The star, 40, severed his fingertip and had eight stitches on his face after being accidentally kicked by a Quantum of Solace co-star.

Craig, who was recently pictured sporting an arm sling, told Elle magazine: “It’s a stupid inconvenience because we had to stop filming. But they gave me an excellent plastic surgeon.”

The heart-throb also admitted having a crush on 007’s boss.

He said all men fancied M, played by Dame Judi Dench, 73, in the Bond films.

Craig said: “M’s gorgeous. All men have thought about her at least once in their lives.”

The actor, whose long-term partner is film producer Satsuki Mitchell, added: “I won’t play Bond forever. But I’d like to think I’ve added something to the lineage of how the man has changed.”
