A dazzling turn opposite Daniel Craig in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’ will take actor Drew Starkey from TV crush to cinema idol, as Liam Hess discovers in the January 2025 issue of British Vogue.
It was on the second day of rehearsals for Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, while rolling around on the floor half-naked with Daniel Craig, that Drew Starkey realised his first major film role would mean leaving all his inhibitions at the door. “I’ve never had a process like this,” the 31-year-old actor recalls thinking, as he and Craig dove into preparations for their numerous sex scenes throughout the movie.
“I was very nervous in the months leading up to ,” he says, reclining on a sofa after his Vogue shoot in a uniform of a white T-shirt, jeans and Adidas Gazelles that confirms his preference for flying under the radar. “I didn’t know if I could have that many eyes on me.” Thankfully, Starkey – who grew up in small-town North Carolina and describes himself as “not the most social person” – is now taking the attention in his stride. “I’m exhausted, but I’m having a good time,” he says, with a grin.
