Daniel Craig surprised: Safe role as a gay writer in Queer!

London, Großbritannien - The British actor Daniel Craig, known from his role as James Bond, has made it clear that he does not want to distance himself from his famous agent image. In an interview with the German Press Agency, Craig said that speculation about a redefinition of his public appearance was wrong. "I just improvise," said the 56-year-old. His new film "Queer", which is based on the life of the writer William S. Burroughs, shows Craig in a role that would not have been possible during his time as 007. "It would have been forced somehow," he said, as krone.at reported.

Craig and the challenges of upheaval

Craig has played many multifaceted roles in the past, but every new film is now being viewed in relation to its role as James Bond. "People want to say: 'Oh, have a look, he has emancipated himself from Bond.' What if I don't want that at all?" In doing so, he contradicts the expectations that are associated with his name. For him, his role in "Queer" is a return to his roots because he is enthusiastic about working again in a cinematic environment that is important to him. The film will be shown in Austrian cinemas from January 2nd.

In addition, Craig received his third nomination for the Golden Globe in the "Best main actor" category for "queer", according to his previous nominations for "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion". This award not only shows Craig's acting talent, but also his ability to shine in different genres without being pushed into the grid of his old bond role. According to Themoviedb.org , Craig started his career in 1992 with a supporting role in "in the shine of the sun" and has been established as one of the best British actors since then.
