Drew Starkey is opening up about the sexuality and intimate scenes in new movie Queer. The 30-year-old Outer Banks star plays Eugene in the upcoming film, a young student whose sexual ambiguity makes him all the more mysterious and desirable, starring opposite Daniel Craig.

There’s so much subtlety and delicacy to it. It was a real challenge because no one can read him, no one understands him, least of all Lee (Craig).

[I’m glad] sexuality is coming back to the theaters because I think it’s imperative we integrate sexuality into our stories, it’s the way to better understand ourselves.
