Dapper Daniel Craig is supported by glamorous pal Cate Blanchett at the star-studded London premiere of his new movie Queer

Daniel Craig cut a dapper figure at the star-studded premiere of his new film Queer at The Curzon in Mayfair, London, on Tuesday.

The actor was joined at the screening by actress Cate Blanchett, who turned heads in a multi-colored checked shirt and trousers co-ord.

Daniel turned heads in the double-breasted blazer and matching trousers, which he paired with a white T-shirt underneath.

He braved the cold winter weather by wrapping himself in a matching scarf and a trendy long coat.

The James Bond star completed his ensemble with yellow-tinted glasses as he posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Meanwhile, Australian actress Cate teamed her checked ensemble with a pair of white trainers as she beamed in photos.

Elsewhere, Nicola Coughlan showed off her amazing figure in a belted khaki trench coat and sky-high black platform heels.

The Bridgerton star stunned as she accessorized with a chunky pair of gold earrings and carried her assets in a black clutch.

Phoebe Torrance put on a very leggy show in a leopard print mini skirt and black knee-high boots.

The Friday Night Dinner star opted for a sleeveless brown high-neck top and skirt, accessorized with silver earrings.

Greta Bellamacina looked sensational in a knitted white dress which she paired with a long white fur vest with leopard print.

The actress added inches to her frame in a pair of white heels and carried her assets in a silver metallic clutch.

Filmmaker Nia DaCosta looked sharp in a black leather mini trench dress that she paired with fishnet boots.

Since leaving his Bond role, Daniel has starred in a number of other films and will next be seen in the racy new film Queer.

And on Monday it was announced that Daniel has earned a nomination for Best Actor at next year’s Golden Globe Awards.

He was previously nominated in 2020 and 2023 for his work in the Glass Onion films, but lost at the ceremonies.

This time he faces more competition as he takes on Adrien Brody, The Brutalist; Timothée Chalamet, a complete unknown; Colman Domingo, Sing Sing; Sebastian Stan, The Apprentice and fellow Brit, Ralph Fiennes, Conclave.

Queer sees him star alongside 31-year-old Drew Starkey in Luca Guadagnino’s long-awaited film, based on the semi-autobiographical novella of the same name by William Burroughs.

Set in Mexico City in the 1950s, the 1950s romantic drama follows American expat and war veteran William Lee (played by Craig), who has a romance with a younger man, Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a drug addict and discharged naval soldier.

It comes after Daniel revealed he felt ’empty’ and emotionally ‘exhausted’ after shooting each of his James Bond films.

He starred in five Bond films between 2006 and 2021, and Daniel has now admitted that the money-grubbing films took a physical and emotional toll on him.

But looking back on his Bond days, he said The Sunday times last weekend: ‘I couldn’t have done this (Queer) during Bond. It would look reactionary, like I was showing my range.

‘Early on at Bond I thought I should do other work, but I didn’t. I became a star, whatever that means, and people wanted me in their movies. Incredible.

“Most actors are largely unemployed, so you take job offers, but they left me empty. Then I finally got paid.

‘At the end of Bond I was so exhausted that it would take me six months to recover emotionally. I’ve always had the attitude that life should come first, and when work came first for a while, I drifted out of it.’

Daniel remains very fond of the Bond franchise, and he’s eager to see what’s next from producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.

He added that who the next Bond could be “is not my decision or problem” but said he wished those who choose “good luck.”

Daniel revealed he ended up ‘writing a lot of lines’ in Bond’s 2008 film Quantum Of Solace – and admitted the film ‘just didn’t quite work’.

He reminisced about his time on set, but bluntly admitted that it was a “fucking nightmare” – because they were short of writers and production started without a script.

Speaking The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast, the Knives Out star said: ‘Difficult second album – bloody nightmare.

“Paul Haggis passed on the script. Then he left and joined the picket line, but we had no writers.”

‘We should never have started production. “I ended up writing a lot of that movie, which I probably shouldn’t have said.”

The English actor continued: “There are some great stunt scenes in there, but it just didn’t quite work.

“The stories weren’t there, that’s a lesson: starting a film without a script is not a good idea.”
