Daniel Craig Wanted to Make ‘Queer’ Sex Scenes as ‘Touching and Real and Natural’ as Possible: ‘We Tried to Make It Fun’


Daniel Craig opened up about filming sex scenes for Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer' during its Venice Film Festival press conference.

“His encounter with Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a young student new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.” In an interview with Variety ahead of its premiere, Guadagnino reflected on casting Craig, saying: “He is, honestly, one of the great actors of his generation: so subtle, so profound and yet so beautifully universal. Guadagnino’s “Challengers” collaborator Justin Kuritzkes penned the screenplay, and the cast also includes Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Henry Zaga, Drew Droege, Ariel Schulman, Colin Bates, Ronia Ava, Perla Ambrosini and Simon Rizzoni.
