Is Drew Starkey the next big thing in Hollywood?
First impression matters and that is most especially true for the legendary actor Daniel Craig who has sung praises to ‘Outer Banks’ star Drew Starkey after seeing his audition for the Luca Guadagnino-helmed queer film ‘Queer.’
After seeing Starkey’s tape, Craig told the brilliant Italian director the very words every actor aims to hear: “That’s the guy.”
“I liked Drew from the moment I met him,” Craig told Guadagnino. “He’s such a wonderful, kind human being, and that was very obvious to me from the very start.”
Starkey is set to play Eugene Allerton, a discharged American Navy man whom Lee (played by Craig) encounters while wandering Mexico City’s bars in search of heroin and connection.
