Luca Guadagnino's highly anticipated film Queer features Daniel Craig in sensual sex scenes with Omar Apollo and Drew Starkey, based on William S. Burroughs' 1985 novel. Apollo, who is making his acting debut, revealed he lost 20 pounds for his intimate scene with Craig, motivated by the script's description of his character. He described the experience as a 'vibe,' stating he and Craig had gin and tonics to relax beforehand, while Craig expressed vulnerability about performing in front of the camera. Starkey praised the scenes as 'very sensual' and discussed the ambiguity of his character's sexuality. The film, which also stars Jason Schwartzman and Lesley Manville, is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival and will be released in the US later this year.
