The spy who came in with a cold: Daniel Craig looks shaken and stirred as he wipes away the sweat at glittering Skyfall premiere
Hot under the collar: Daniel Craig at the Skyfall premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday

There, there, there: Rachel tenderly mops Daniel's brow as they wait to be seated
Later his attentive wife Rachel Weisz also wiped down his face with her hand.
Otherwise he looked suave in a dapper tuxedo with white shirt and bow tie and quickly resumed his duties in front of the camera.
Daniel recently spoke out about his role, admitting his 'vanity kicked in' when he realised he had to strip for Skyfall.
He said: 'There’s stuff in the script that says I have to take my shirt off so vanity kicks in and I work out. But also I'm running most of the time during this film – he doesn’t really just walk into a room and sit down, he tends to jump through the window and sit down, so I had to stay in shape.'
Feeling hot? Daniel's helpers looked concerned as he used the tissue to mop his brow before resuming his duties
Bit much? Daniel Craig had to take a moment out from posing for cameras as he grabbed a tissue
Feeling better? The actor chatted to his aides as his fans watched on while he recuperated
And speaking at the premiere of the film on Tuesday night, Daniel said he knew that director Sam Mendes would do a good job directing Skyfall, because he is so 'passionate' about the franchise.
He told BANG Showbiz: 'Sam, I knew he was the right man for the job. He's passionate about film making but he's also passionate about Bond movies.'
Daniel – who played 007 in 2006 movie Casino Royale and 2008's Quantum of Solace - also insisted the Skyfall premiere was the 'biggest and best' he has ever been to and he was honoured to receive an 'incredible' reception when he arrived.
He explained: 'The reception is incredible. This is my third Bond premiere and it's the biggest and the best.'
That's better! He smiled to reassure his fans after meeting up with Rachel inside
Loving hand: His wife Rachel Weisz ensured he felt better as she also mopped his brow once inside the famous venue
He was also joined at the event by his glamorous co-stars Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe.
Naomie stood out as she showed off her perfect physique in a sheer black Marios Schwab gown with a daring blue sequinned body underneath.
She almost floated on to the red carpet in the see-through frock as she completed her look with glowing straight hair and dark nail polish.
But not to be outdone, Berenice also ensured she was another belle of the ball in a striking strapless red dress which emphasised her cleavage.

Scarlet woman: Berenice looked ravishing in red and co-star Naomie Harris sparked in blue sequins
Ignoring the red carpet rule to avoid gowns of the same colour, Berenice looked ravishing in the scarlet frock as she wore her hair in a wavy bob for the night.
Naomie, who plays MI5 field agent Eve, felt strongly that in playing a Bond girl she wasn't just a pretty face.
She said: 'Bond girls have to reflect the modern woman, and the modern woman is very talented and very capable, they're leaders in their field, they can do anything.
'They are equals to men and we have to reflect that in the movies.'
My turn! Fellow Bond Girl Naomie Harris jumped in to pose alongside the leading man

But Harris has her share of sexy scenes with Craig and admitted she preferred them to her action scenes.
She said: 'I actually preferred the flirting, because the fighting is a lot of hard work and you get a lot of bruises.'
Berenice, 33, who plays Bond girl Severine, couldn't choose between fighting and flirting.
'I kind of like both,' she laughed.
The French actress enjoyed her steamy shower scene with Craig in the film, adding: 'I would do it again!'
