Daniel Craig and Josh O’Connor on Sex Scenes, Filming ‘Knives Out 3’ and Why ‘Challengers’ Has the ‘Biggest Cock Tease in Movie History’


Luca Guadagnino's leading men Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor discuss "Queer" and "Challengers" for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series.

This past year, Guadagnino put Josh O’Connor through a complicated game of sex, betrayal and tennis in “Challengers,” written by Justin Kuritzkes. O’Connor and Craig, both known for playing iconic Brits — the first as Prince Charles in “The Crown,” the other in the five most recent James Bond movies — spent this past summer working on the next installment in Netflix’s “Knives Out” franchise, “Wake Up Dead Man,” which will stream on the platform next year.
