Daniel Craig cringes over 'terrible' love scenes
Hollywood actor Daniel Craig has admitted he's shot some "terrible love scenes" in his career and they remain "out there to see".
Daniel Craig has shot some “terrible love scenes” in his career.
The 56-year-old actor can next be seen opposite Drew Starkey in ‘Queer’ and he was delighted with the chemistry and bond he built up with his co-star.
He told Britain’s HELLO! Magazine: “Thank God I had him to play opposite.
“When Drew came along, it was straight into rehearsals and rolling around on the floor doing these incredible moves, so we kind of broke the ice with that.
“I’ve shot some terrible love scenes in my career. They’re out there to see.
“Again, that sort of vulnerability, openness, surrender and keeping it as real as it possibly can be.
“Sex is wonderful and messy and complicated and all of those things.
“And hopefully we’ve managed to stick that on the screen, because that’s what happens in the bedroom.
“But hopefully it looks like two people who are into each other. That’s all you could ever want.”
The movie is based on William S. Burroughs’ personal novel ‘Queer’ and is set at a time when homosexuality was still criminalized, and at its heart, Daniel viewed it as a love story the same as any other.
The actor – who plays William Lee opposite Drew as Eugene Allerton – said: “I suppose to be really in love, one has to surrender.
“I think that’s what real love is, at the end of the day. And for me, that’s what Lee is really all about. So, in a way, he led the way for me.
“We’ve all felt lost, we’ve all hopefully been in love, so those are things I can connect to very easily. But Lee is a very complicated human being.
"God, give me complicated human beings to play all day long, you know?”
