Actor Daniel Craig has one regret from his shooting
experience of the new James Bond film, No Time
To Die. He wasn’t allowed to drive the iconic 007 ride, Aston Martin DB5, during high-speed chase scenes owing to safety concerns. The 51-year-old told Top Gear Magazine that he couldn’t drive and act at the same time, as it was seen to be too dangerous. So, stunt driver Mark Higgins took his place during high-speed chase scenes in the film, reports a website. “You know we fake it, don’t you? We’re not allowed to do that anymore, although I do go driving. I was allowed to donut the DB5 in Matera, which was great,” Craig explained. Higgins spoke with Esquire about getting behind the wheel for Craig’s final Bond film, and revealed that everything “done is for real”. “I think a lot of these films are going away from CGI and trying to make it as real as possible,” Higgins said.
