“He was a great partner to have in that,” Starkey told Variety. “I think him and I share that same mentality of just not giving a shit. And [Luca Guadagnino] was so specific — he wanted us to be as comfortable as possible throughout that process, and we would block off where these intimate scenes would happen and we talked months in advance about what we thought it should be. It was also like a dance. We were trying to figure it out. But those were some of the most fun days I think we all had on set — just Daniel and I laughing.”
Daniel Craig Gets Queer
Craig’s portrayal of William Lee is nothing like we’ve seen from him before. The leaked clip that recently set the internet abuzz shows Craig in an intimate moment with Starkey, and fans can’t stop talking about their electric chemistry.

“I’ve always wanted to push myself in new directions, and this role let me do just that,” Craig said in a recent interview. He definitely isn’t holding back!
Drew Starkey’s Breakout Moment
Drew Starkey, known for his roles in various teen dramas, is ready for his big break. As Eugene Allerton, Starkey captures the essence of a young man caught in the whirlwind of Lee’s complex world. His heartfelt portrayal is already earning him praise from fans and critics alike.
Starkey’s chemistry with Craig is one of the standout elements of Queer. “Working with Daniel has been incredible. He brings so much intensity and truth to every scene,” Starkey shared.
