Omar Apollo to Make Acting Debut in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’


Omar Apollo will make his acting debut in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film ‘Queer.'

The book’s themes touch on sex and drug abuse, with the protagonist becoming infatuated with a younger, discharged American Navy serviceman named Allerton (Starkey). American playwright Justin Kuritzkes, who penned Guadagnino’s “Challengers” starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, has adapted the Burroughs novel for the big screen, in continued collaboration with the Italian director. With music, I fixate on [a producer or artist] and go through their whole discography, so I plan to take a similar approach with film.” He added that he and Guadagnino first met through Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson.
