Daniel Craig has been in surgery after suffering an injury on the set of new James Bond movie Spectre.

The 47-year-old actor apparently underwent a “minor procedure” in New York on his knee.

The surgery took place as the cast and crew took a break from filming the 24th instalment of the series over Easter.

Eon Productions confirmed the news.
