Seeming in good spirits, the 27-year-old actor ensured he chatted with as many fans as possible, stopping to snap selfies as he walked the red carpet.

Earlier in the day, Daniel took part in one of the annual traditions of the festival, unveiling his beach locker. 

Pulling back the US national flag on the Promenade des Planches, the British star - who now lives in the States - couldn't keep the smile off his face at the ceremony.

Daniel, along with Chloe Grace Moretz, will be honoured with the Nouvel Hollywood/Hollywood Rising Stars award, and the festival will hold a screening of his latest film, Imperium.

Imperium, which was given a limited release last month, sees Daniel star as an FBI agent who gets involved with white-supremacist groups whilst starring as an undercover agent. 

The film also stars Toni Collette and Tracy Letts and was directed by Daniel Ragussis.

Daniel has enjoyed a variety of film roles since starring in the Harry Potter franchise and recently told The Sun that he is uninterested in picking up Harry's wand again, but did not rule out participating in an older version of the role in future.

'It is a tricky one,' he said. 'You never want to close a door on anything, especially something that has been so good to me.

'At the moment I am definitely not at a stage where I would feel comfortable going back to it, who knows in ten and 20 years if I would feel differently about that.

'And I think I have still got a little while for me to be age appropriate for this Harry.'
