Daniel Craig warmly hugs Glass Onion co-star Janelle Monae at Review Awards Gala

Daniel Craig warmly hugged her Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery co-star Janelle Monae while presenting an award at the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York City.

The actor, 54, looked dapper in a black suit as he handed over the Best Supporting Actress gong to the Hidden Figures star, 37, on Sunday.

Gushing about his friend before they shared a warm embrace on, he said: 'When Janelle floats, when she glides into a room, the chemicals in the air change.

'When I had the privilege of working with her, every day she lifted me up.'

Upon reaching the stage, Janelle - who cut a chic figure in a sheer black dress, joked: 'Are you kidding me. You guys got (expletive) James Bond?'
