Andrew Garfield reveals the “beautiful” NSFW scene he saw in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer

Andrew Garfield has opened up about Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey’s highly anticipated film Queer.

Over the last few months, LGBTQIA+ movie enthusiasts have anxiously awaited the release of Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming movie.

Set in the 1940’s, Queer follows Lee (Craig) as he flees a drug bust in New Orleans. He wanders the bars and clubs of Mexico City, where he becomes infatuated with Starkey’s character, a discharged serviceman from the American Navy.

Based on William S. Burrough’s 1985 short novel of the same name, which explores themes such as homosexuality, sex and drug abuse, the film also stars Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Henry Zaga, Drew Droege, Ariel Schulman and Omar Apollo in his acting debut.

While there is still no word when Queer will be released to the general public, the film has already made waves in the festival circuit and with members of the acting community, like Garfield.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the We Live In Time actor opened up about working with Guadagnino on the forthcoming film After the Hunt and whether he’s seen Queer.

While he admitted to not seeing the entire film, Garfield did dish about the one “beautiful” NSFW moment he watched, courtesy of the Call Me By Your Name director.

“He’s been trying to get me in for a screening. He’s only shown me one blowjob scene, which I thought was so genuinely beautiful, like it was such a beautiful love scene between Daniel [Craig] and Drew [Starkey], and it’s just so tender and full of longing,” he said.

“And obviously, graphic in certain ways. But I just thought, “Oh, I’m gonna love this film.’ [Luca’s] such a sensualist and a humanist and in touch with his own longing.”

Elsewhere in his interview, Garfield revealed that he would love to do an erotic film similar to Queer or Halina Reijin’s upcoming film Babygirl.

“But from what I understand, young people want less sex on their screens! It probably makes sense because they’ve been exposed to so much insane, graphic pornography, accessible at the click of a switch, that they’re like: ‘No more,’” he added.

“So eroticism has been killed somehow because of the overtaking of pornography.”

Garfield’s recent interview comes a few weeks after Starkey shared behind-the-scenes details about his “steamy scenes” with Craig.

“We just were like, ‘Let’s go for it, let’s have fun.’ So he was a great partner to have in that. I think him and I share that same mentality of just not giving a shit,” he told Variety at the start of September.

“And Luca was so specific — he wanted us to be as comfortable as possible throughout that process, and we would block off where these intimate scenes would happen and we talked months in advance about what we thought it should be.

“It was also like a dance. We were trying to figure it out. But those were some of the most fun days I think we all had on set — just Daniel and I laughing.”
