Daniel Craig, star of 'Queer': "Sex is the least interesting thing in a good scene"

Daniel Craig's figure will always be linked to that of James Bond. The Briton spent more than a decade focused on being agent 007. Over the course of five feature films, the actor was the star of a legendary saga in the world of cinema. However, the role of hero in these films gave way to a new project that was totally different and shows the versatility of the actor

In a major twist to his career, Craig stars in 'Queer', Luca Guadagnino's latest film in which he adapts the novel written by William S. Burroughs for the big screen. In a semi-autobiographical story, an American man in his 50s goes to Mexico City and, in a routine life without great upheavals, everything changes when Eugene Allerton, a young student who has just arrived in the Mexican capital, appears

In an exclusive interview with El Mundo, the actor has spoken about this change in his career. The Briton said that the most important thing is "to adapt to what you are offered" and then "follow your instinct and do what you feel at any given moment". His acting ability, with which he has made a name for himself in Hollywood, is a fundamental help in tackling this project

Daniel Craig: "We have come a long way as a society, but there is still much to be done"

The homosexual relationship that his character has is compared by the actor with those of Tom Hanks or Al Pacino in 'Philadelphia' or 'Cruising', respectively. Craig says that both "were stars and still are now". About this sexual condition, the protagonist of 'Queer' stresses that "we have come a long way" as a society, although there is still "much to do".

About the sex scenes in the feature film, the actor points out that his job is "to make them real", since when the images are good, "sex is the least interesting thing".
