Meet the heartthrob set to play Daniel Craig’s lover in new film from ‘Call Me By Your Name’ director
Queer. From the director of Call Me By Your Name. What more do you need to know?Okay, how about this: He’ll star alongside Outer Banks hottie Drew Starkey, playing the object of Craig’s affection.
And, with that, Queer has immediately shot to the top of our most anticipated list!Daniel Craig plays an outcast American expat who lives in Mexico, and Drew Starkey stars as a younger man with whom he becomes madly infatuated, in Luca Guadagnino’s next film ‘QUEER.’Filming begins this month in Italy.

Burroughs’ novella of the same name, and it was reported he’d be joined by one of the stars of Outer Banks—a claim which today’s news confirms.A post shared by Wonderland (@wonderland)Starkey, 29, is best known as part of the hot, young ensemble of said action-adventure series, Outer Banks, which just dropped its third season on Netflix this past February and already has a fourth season on the way. (Notably, one of his his co-stars, Madeline Cline, has already acted opposite Craig in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.)Aside from the hit streaming series, Starkey can also be seen in last year’s Hellraiser reboot, MTV’s Scream: Resurrection series, and as the character Garrett Laughlin in both the Love, Simon and The Hate U Give films.Queer definitely represents a big jump into arthouse fare for the actor on the rise—and he’ll be in good company, too.
