Daniel Craig and his wife, Rachel Weisz, attended the premiere of Queer at the 81st Venice Film Festival, where Weisz outshone her husband in a glamorous blue gown. Craig, 56, wore a white suit and brown shoes, posing hand-in-hand with Weisz on the red carpet. The actor's appearance follows the discussion of his same-sex love scenes in the film, which he wanted to make “as touching and as real as we could,” according to MailOnline.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Queer is based on William Burroughs' novella, with Craig playing American expat William Lee. Initial reviews have highlighted the explicit nature of the film's scenes. Venice Film Festival director Alberto Barbera praised Craig's portrayal as the "performance of a lifetime" and hinted at a potential Oscar nomination for the actor.

Also in attendance were stars like Tilda Swinton and Rose Bertram, who dazzled in striking outfits. Queer is one of many films showcased at the festival, running from 28 August to 7 September 2024.
