Yet it appears that he became so wound-up after being beaten by Forest Whitaker in the best actor category that he shunned the whirl of afterparties and almost got involved in brawl with a journalist.The evening did not start too comfortably for Craig, who appeared visibly uncomfortable at being praised for his honed looks by show host Jonathan Ross - then bristled with annoyance when Whitaker was announced best actor.
By the time the couple arrived at the Grosvenor House afterparty, a hotel security member described Craig as being "incandescent with rage".
It was at that point that the 39-year-old came face to face with journalist Johann Hari. Mr Hari, who is gay, said last night: "When we first spoke, he was in a vile mood. I just made a joke about how great he looked in his shorts in the film. There were so many ways he could have reacted.
Daniel Craig's reaction, and more photos of the pretty face after the jump.
"But instead, he called me a 'f***ing fool'. I hadn't said it nastily. He could have just smiled and said he wasn't in the mood for a joke, but he was actively rude and seemed to snarl at me. I watched as he lost out to his award. Every clap for Forest Whitaker was like a little fracture in his heart."A source from the hotel security added: "Satsuki saw the situation was about to get out of hand. She knows that Daniel can react and did not want it to kick off in front of so many people.
"She rushed to his side and literally put her arm between them before this guy got thumped. It was clear that Daniel was not at all happy."
A source close to the actor added: "Over the course of the evening, he had been getting increasingly wound-up with people coming up to him telling him how great he looked in those shorts as he came out of the sea in Casino Royale.
"Daniel sees himself as a serious classically-trained actor who spent three years with the RSC, and brought real depth to the role of Bond.
Come on Daniel, we knew you were a good actor already, we didn't know how much of a hottie you were until you donned that bathing suit.
