The Variety interview lasted almost 25 minutes, during which Javier Bardem and Daniel Craig chatted and laughed about various topics, including Bardem singing in “Being the Ricardos” and his history with “Dune,” and Craig’s time on “Saturday Night Live” and filming “Knives Out 2.” But the funniest moment, which Variety tweeted, came toward the end of the interview, as Bardem asked Craig one last question: “What happened to you [here]?” He pointed to a spot on the side of his forehead.
Craig, feeling around and running his hand through his hair, thought perhaps he had been careless with his food. “Have I just got sandwich on my head? … Have I done this whole interview — it’s probably a part of a sandwich!” After stepping away to check a mirror, Craig came back and explained, laughing. “You know what it was? Christ… So, they’ve sent me this wonderful ring flash, which I’ve set up with an iPad in the middle of it. And I went like this like that and it just fell on my head just before we started!”
Craig wasn’t too phased, however, as it seems to be part of his working process. “This is 17 years playing Bond!,” he said, pointing to his fresh injury. “No wonder I get f***ing injured every time I do a movie.” Craig thanked his friend for pointing it out, and made one last joke at his own expense: “If I don’t get injured while I’m filming, I’m not doing it properly.”
