‘Just Wanted to Make It Touching and Real’: Daniel Craig Talks About Filming Intimate Scenes with Drew Starkey for Queer

by

As an ardent fan of both Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, I am absolutely thrilled about their electrifying chemistry in the upcoming film “Queer.” Being a connoisseur of cinema that delves deep into human connections, I find myself captivated by their dedication to portraying intimacy with such authenticity.

2024 saw Daniel Craig discussing the filming of intimate scenes alongside his co-star Drew Starkey for the movie “Queer”. This esteemed actor graced the stage at the Venice Film Festival on September 3, 2024

Here, Craig further explained his method when filming intimate and up-close scenes involving Starkey

Speaking about the film’s choreography, the ex-James Bond actor emphasized that it was crucial, and added that he and Drew had been practicing their scripted scenes for several months prior to the actual filming of the movie

During a press conference, the actor from No Time to Die discussed the romantic scenes in the film, likening them to an intricate dance between two partners

During the conference, Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace actor) further added that filming a sex scene in a movie isn’t necessarily intimate because numerous crew members are present, observing and focusing on the action, rather than the actors themselves

Daniel Craig expressed that they aimed to make the experience as authentic, emotional, and genuine as possible when he praised his co-star for being an exceptional and talented actor

Regarding Drew Starkey, the Knives Out actor mentioned that during filming, they aimed to keep things entertaining by making the scenes enjoyable, all while sharing a good chuckle together

In a statement, Drew Starkey explained that he and Craig delved into the rehearsals for the film quite promptly. This early start, as it turned out, allowed them to break free from any mental constraints they may have had concerning the intimate scenes portrayed in the movie

Starkey continued discussing his experience working with Quantum of Solace’s co-star. He commented, “Working so closely with someone after only two days together can help you understand them better, especially when it involves rolling around on the floor.”

According to the festival summary, Daniel Craig portrays an American living abroad in Mexico City during the 1950s. Over time, his character develops a romantic relationship with a younger individual named Eugene

In the film, Drew Starkey portrays the character of Eugene. The movie, however, isn’t original work; it’s an adaptation, skillfully done by director Luca Guadagnino, based on William S. Burroughs’ 1985 novel with the same title

In addition, this movie serves as another joint effort by Guadagnino and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes, along with music composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – a partnership that has previously produced the film starring Zendaya, titled “Challengers”

Additionally, the cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Andra Ursuta, David Lowery, and Michael Borremans
