Drew Starkey spills the tea on filming steamy scenes with Daniel Craig in 'Queer'— prepare for an unforgettable movie experience!

In an exciting development in the world of cinema, Drew Starkey has opened up about his steamy role alongside none other than Daniel Craig in Luca Guadagnino's latest film, "Queer." Based on William S. Burroughs' iconic novel, the film is poised to tackle complex themes of identity and love. Starkey describes working with Craig as a wild adventure, underscored by emotionally charged and intimate scenes that required both actors to bring their A-game. It’s no wonder Starkey sees this as his biggest challenge yet—steamy scenes with a former James Bond, after all, can't be a walk in the park!

Speaking of challenges, Starkey and fellow cast member Omar Apollo hilariously revealed that filming the more risqué moments often turned into a comedic experience, with takes demanding plenty of additional dialogue replacement (ADR) to capture all those exertions and groans! Drew states that these sessions required them to focus not just on their lines, but on syncopating breathy sounds that would enhance the authenticity of their connection, proving that vulnerability can sometimes bring a 'theatrical glee' on set.

But, the buzz isn’t just around the film itself; fans were equally taken aback by Daniel Craig's unrecognizable new look at the Venice Film Festival. Spotted with swooping, shaggy locks and a casual vibe alongside his wife Rachel Weisz, Craig has indeed transformed his appearance from the sharp-suited James Bond we all know and love into a laid-back, artsy figure. This major style change—complete with Craig lovingly feeding Weisz at a scenic Grand Canal dining experience—has left fans scratching their heads and wondering what other surprises might be in store as he embraces this new role both on and off screen.

As anticipation builds for "Queer," one can't help but marvel at how versatile Craig has proven to be throughout his career. Emerging from the iconic role of James Bond, this project allows him to showcase a completely different side, solidifying his status as one of Hollywood’s most fearless actors. Fun fact: along with his Bond legacy, Craig has a penchant for theatre, having starred in numerous dramatic roles before his foray into blockbuster films. If that doesn't pique your interest, consider this: Luca Guadagnino, known for works like "Call Me By Your Name," brings a unique flair to projects that encapsulate the beauty of human experiences and relationships, making "Queer" a must-see film of the season!
