© Franco OrigliaDirected by Luca Guadagnino and an adaptation of William S. Burroughs semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, Queer focuses on a period of time in William's life in the 1950s in Mexico City, and his brief romance and infatuation with a student, played by Drew Starkey.
"Dancing with someone is a great icebreaker," Daniel told the press of how he and Drew found a rapport during rehearsals for the intimate scenes.

"When you’re rolling around on the floor with someone, the second day of knowing each other, it’s a good way to get to know someone," added Drew.

They met in 1994 during Les Grandes Horizontales at London's National Theatre Studio but reconnected 16 years later in 2010, and wed in June 2011 in New York City with only four guests in attendance, including Daniel's daughter Ella, from his first marriage, and Rachel's son Henry.

In 2018 Daniel and Rachel welcomed their daughter, whose name they have never revealed.
"She does look very like him," Rachel said once during an interview, referring to the No Time To Die actor. "She really does."

He kept the rest of his look casual for the low-key outing, rocking a white T-shirt, denim jeans and a crossbody brown leather bag. Rachel also nailed laid-back chic in her black cargo dress, brown heels and white sunglasses, styling her long brunette hair in loose waves.
