Daniel Craig isn’t here for the pearl-clutching, eyebrow-raising, or fainting on couches over his spicy scenes in the upcoming film Queer. Nope, not even a little bit.
The 56-year-old former Bond is lighting up the big screen alongside Outer Banks heartthrob Drew Starkey and musical sensation Omar Apollo. And let’s just say they didn’t hold back on the, um, physical expression of their characters’ feelings. Naturally, the internet has erupted with opinions, ranging from “pass the popcorn” to “I simply cannot believe Mr. Bond would do that!”
Craig, however, is keeping it real—and he’s got no time for stuffy commentary. While strutting the red carpet at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday night (November 13), he was asked what he made of all the chatter.
With a classic Craig smirk and the breezy attitude of a man who spent decades diving off buildings and facing down criminal masterminds, he told Variety, “It’s pretty prudish to me.”
Translation? “People, calm down. This is acting, and we’re all adults here.” No astonishment, no regrets—just a straight shot of Craig-level coolness for anyone who’s feeling a bit too proper.
So, if you’re ready for some unapologetically steamy scenes, mark your calendars—Queer is hitting theaters on November 27. Let’s just say it’s set to be a sizzling kickoff to holiday movie season, whether you’re “prude-proof” or not.
