The role has prompted people to wonder about Starkey’s sexuality and whether he’s discussed it in real life. So, is Drew Starkey queer in real life? Has he come out as gay? No, Drew Starkey has not identified as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Starkey stars in Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" alongside Daniel Craig, playing the object of his affection and infatuation.

"Queer" star Daniel Craig says the secret to filming intimate scenes with co-star Drew Starkey was to keep things light.

In his new film 'Queer,' Drew Starkey had to get more intimate than ever. Now he's speaking about what it was like creating those sex scenes.

A steamy, surrealist adaptation of William S Burroughs’s lurid, semiautobiographical novel documenting gay expat life in 1950s Mexico, Queer also sees Starkey stumble through the streets of Mexico City tipsy on mezcal and perform modern dance with Craig while stark naked and tripping out on ayahuasca in the middle of the jungle.

Drew Starkey and Daniel Craig's new film, Queer, which is an adaptation of the novella, is coming to Australia soon.
