Gay Twitter is in a Thirsty Uproar Over Leaked 'Queer' Sex Scenes

Sex scenes from Luca Guadagnino's movie "Queer," starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, have leaked, and Gay Twitter is having thirsty thoughts about them.

At least some of the clips were quickly taken down due to copyright violations, including a scene that showed "Craig and Starkey getting intimate," according to Out.

"In the about :30 seconds clip, you see an aroused Starkey on the bed with Craig sniffing his... you know where... before proceeding to strip him down," Out documented of the no-longer-available clip in which, Out claimed, "Daniel Craig gets a faceful of Drew Starkey's pole..."

Another scene reportedly depicts Craig's character, William Lee, topping Starkey's character.




The scene had also gone AWOL at a different account that drew excited fans.

Those who caught the clips as they circulated gave the movie a thumbs up, with Cocktails and Cock Talk posting, "from what we've seen of 'Queer' thus far, we have to say; it beats Barry Keoghan's jerk off scene in Saltburn, the sexual teasing in Challengers, and – although not straight actors – even those in Fellow Travellers."

Guadagnino and co., who promised a "full-on" steamy film with "scandalous" sex scenes, "weren't lying," the writeup added.

"Craig, kisses Starkey from his neck down to his navel, and then grabs the hard dick in Starkey's pants," the article said, describing one leaked scene.

Starkey's fans seemed especially keen for the full movie.

As previously reported, Starkey teased the film's erotic content, calling the steamy moments "fun" and "comfortable."

"Daniel and I worked with an intimacy coordinator," the "Outer Banks" actor said in remarks to IndieWire, "but we were in movement rehearsals for like months before those shoots."

Starkey added that "by the time we got there" with the sex scenes, it was as though "we'd been like a jiu-jitsu class for, like, a couple of months. It was with this amazing, beautiful dance, and choreography."

"We were comfortable," Starkey went on to say; "it was a lot of fun."

The gay scenes are not just hot; they are also poignant, according to actor Andrew Garfield, who has been cast in Guadagnino's next film.

Describing a scene depicting a blow job between Craig and Starkey's characters to The Hollywood Reporter, Garfield called it "so tender and full of longing," and added that the clip was "genuinely beautiful, like it was such a beautiful love scene."

Starkey's character isn't the only love connection Craig's William Lee forges in the film. Omar Apollo is also featured as a sexy scene partner for the 007 actor.

Those who missed the clips will be able to feast their eyes on the full film when it hits screens on November 27. Meanwhile, here's a clip from the film that hasn't been taken down.
