But Daniel Craig was not so perfect on the set of his new movie The Golden Compass - just ask one unfortunate crew member.

News reaches us from the set of the fanstasy thriller that, during one of Craig's scenes, an accident left one poor crew member in hospital with a broken arm and collarbone.

Accident: Daniel Craig was involved in an on-set mishap

Craig, who plays a character called Lord Asriel in the film - which also stars Nicole Kidman, Eva Green, John Hurt and Kevin Bacon - was running through a cobbled street in the pouring rain in Oxford when he veered toward a rickshaw that was carrying the cameraman.

The rickshaw swerved to avoid the actor and the crew member tumbled out and crashed to the ground. He was immediately rushed to hospital, where he was treated for a series of broken bones.

A source revealed: "The poor guy had no chance. He was filming Daniel running down the street in a certain action scene.

"The poor guy was in agony and Daniel immediately went to help him, he could see he was very hurt indeed. He was scraped up quickly and an ambulance was called.

"Obviously such an incident would hold the making of the film up because it is the producers' priority that their staff are well."

The movie is in the final stages of being filmed now and 39-year-old Craig is set to begin working on his next project Flashbacks Of A Fool.

He will then move on to his second stint at being James Bond in what is currently been given the working title of Bond 22.

Here's hoping he doesn't take his licence to kill quite so seriously.
