Drew Starkey on His Breakout Role in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’ and Filming Steamy Scenes With Daniel Craig: We ‘Were Just Game for Anything’
Drew Starkey talks starring in Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer,' filming steamy scenes with Daniel Craig and why the film was his biggest challenge yet.
Over the next couple of months, the two shared many more meals as Guadagnino explained his vision for “Queer,” his adaptation of Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs’ 1985 novel. Eventually, Starkey taped for Eugene Allerton, a drug-addicted discharged Navy serviceman who Daniel Craig ‘s William Lee becomes infatuated with in 1940s Mexico City — and he got the part. Now, with “Queer” premiering at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday night, Starkey is about to experience the same breakout moment as Guadagnino muses before him, like Timothée Chalamet and Josh O’Connor.
