Meet the Hot Men of 'Queer'
Frank J. Avella READ TIME: 9 MIN.
Daniel Craig
Brit thesp Daniel Craig has already received Golden Globe and SAG nominations for his role in "Queer," and has played gay a few times before, most notably, opposite Derek Jacobi's Francis Bacon in John Maybury's "Love Is the Devil" in 1998. In that sumptuous film he also proved he wasn't afraid of doing nude scenes, of which, there are quite a few in "Queer." Craig's cool blue eyes, naked torso and tight swim shorts stunned audiences in his first (of 5) Bond films, "Casino Royale," as he emerged from the water. Recently, he's showed off his comedic talents as gay Detective Benoit Blanc in "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion." Up next, Craig is Blanc once again in the third installment, "Wake Up Dead Man."
