The buzz surrounding Luca Guadagnino‘s upcoming film Queer keeps getting more exciting. We recently discovered that Omar Apollo will make his acting debut alongside Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey. Now, we’ve learned that Craig reportedly delivers some intense “full-on” sex scenes.
When Deadline asked Venice Film Festival director Alberto Barbera to explain his comment about Craig “putting himself on the line” in Queer, Barbera said it was “in terms of him portraying a gay man in a very direct and brave way, including a couple of sex scenes that are quite full-on.”
Barbera added, “I think it’s the performance of his life so far.”
This isn’t the first time Bond star Daniel Craig has played a queer character. In Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Craig plays detective Benoit Blanc, who is canonically gay and has a husband, played by Hugh Grant.
Speaking about the role, Love, Actually star Grant said: “It is true, I’m married to James Bond. It’s the tiniest little moment. I don’t really know why they wanted to do it but I thought, why not?”
Penned by Challengers’ screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes, Queer follows Lee (Craig) as he navigates life in Mexico City, moving from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene in pursuit of fulfilling sexual encounters.
