Daniel Craig says he wouldn't have starred in Queer while playing James Bond: 'It would look reactionary'

Daniel Craig says he wouldn't have starred in a movie like his new project 'Queer' during his time playing James Bond: 'It would look reactionary.'

Craig stars as William Lee, an outcast American expat who becomes infatuated with a younger man, Gene Allerton (Drew Starkey), as they embark across South America in search of ayahuasca. It's a far cry from the sly secret agent he embodied for 15 years, which might have appealed to him at the start of his 007 tenure but changed as he found his footing — and big-time fame — playing the role. Craig previously addressed how Queer and Bond may have clashed if he'd been working on the projects at the same time, admitting that he would have turned the Guadagnino film down had the offer come in 10 years earlier.
