Bodyguards for James Bond actor Daniel Craig struggled to prevent the media from filming the star in between takes, resulting in tension and a minor confrontation on set.

A minor confrontation erupted between reporters and the bodyguards after they attempted to physically interfere and obstruct reporters from capturing shots of the actor. Craig’s team later resorted to using a smoke machine to repel the reporters swarming the set.

Bystanders were affected by the heavy smoke, daily Hürriyet reported.
