Daniel Craig seems to be so used to getting injured during James Bond films that he didn't even realize he was bleeding from his head during a recent interview.

The No Time To Die star spoke with his Skyfall co-star Javier Bardem as part of Variety's annual Actors on Actors series.

At the end of the interview, Bardem noticed a red mark on Craig's forehead. "Let me ask you, my friend, this last question... What happened to you here?" Bardem asked, pointing at his head.

Watch the hilarious moment Daniel Craig realized he was bleeding from his head:

"Where? Did I bash my head?" Craig replied. "Have I just got a sandwich on my head? Have I done this whole interview — it's probably a part of a sandwich!"

Craig then ran off to check his apparent wound in the mirror, before returning and realizing he was, in fact, bleeding out.

"You know what it was? Christ," he explained, laughing. "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!"

"This is 17 years playing Bond. No wonder I get f**king injured every time I do a movie," Craig said, pointing at the wound.

"If I don't get injured while filming I'm not doing it properly," he added.

Craig was referencing the numerous injuries he's sustained while playing the famous MI6 agent.

"Thank you for pointing out," he told Bardem. "No, literally, I just was setting this up and it went donk and I’m like, ‘Ow! Jesus!’ I’m not bleeding to death. If I don’t get injured while filming I’m not doing it properly."

Bardem expressed his relief that nothing terrible had happened, and the two actors collapsed into hysterical laughter.

While filming the 2015 Bond film Spectre, Craig broke his leg.

Last year he described how "traumatic" it was to continue filming with the injury. He also required ankle surgery after injuring himself on No Time to Die.
