Daniel Craig sidelined by knee surgery

Daniel Craig is taking a break after having arthroscopic surgery on one of his knees.

Producers say the James Bond star underwent the "minor procedure" during the Easter production break, according to the BBC and AP.

He is believed to have suffered the injury while filming action scenes for the next Bond film, Spectre, in Mexico. Filming began last December and has since gone on to Rome and Mexico.

Eon Productions said Monday that Craig, 47, will rejoin the production when it resumes filming at Pinewood Studios in England on April 22.
