Drew Starkey Talks Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer,’ Working With Daniel Craig & Doing ADR For Sex Scenes
Drew Starkey reminisced on his time filming opposite Daniel Craig in Luca Guadagnino's upcoming period romance drama Queer.
In a new Q&A moderated by fellow co-star and alt-pop/R&B musician Omar Apollo for Interview magazine, Starkey gave behind-the-scenes tidbits on the film shoot, including how “fun” doing ADR (automated dialogue replacement, a post-production process) was for the sex scenes he shot with Craig. Starkey, who hails from North Carolina and first broke out playing the conniving and privileged Rafe in Netflix’s teen treasure hunt soap, described the experience as a masterclass in filmmaking, saying Guadagnino was “on a short list of dream directors” he wanted to work with. Shooting on the film lasted two and a half months, prior to which Starkey dropped 30 pounds for the role — a number so stark that the Call Me By Your Name Oscar nominee asked him to “bring it back up a little bit.” Another physical transformation was leaning into the usage of makeup, as his character is described as “having feminine features.”
