Daniel Craig appears to be morphing into U2's Bono with yellow sunglasses and slicked-back hair as he attends Queer premiere in LA

Daniel Craig appeared to be morphing into U2's Bono as he attended the Los Angeles premiere of Queer on Wednesday.

The 56-year-old actor cut a dapper figure in a grey-pinstripe bespoke Loewe double-breasted suit as he posed up a storm on the red carpet.

He teamed the look with a white cotton top and a pair of white trainers.

Bearing a striking resemblance to the U2 frontman, Daniel added a pair of yellow sunglasses and slicked-back his hair for the star-studded occasion.

The Emmy-nominated actor was joined on the carpet by his onscreen leading man Drew Starkey, 31, who donned a all black ensemble.

Daniel stars in the movie which is an adaptation of a novella by American writer William Burroughs.

He plays an American, William Lee, living in Mexico City who becomes sexually obsessed with a former sailor, Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey).

The James Bond actor spent months taking dance and movement classes with Starkey, whose drug-addicted character Eugene was based on Adelbert Lewis Marker.

'There's nothing like a good dance to break the ice,' the two-time Golden Globe nominee told ET on Wednesday.

'I think it did all sorts. It made us bond very quickly because we're both non-dancers and we both had to go through the pain barrier to get to a good position. It was really important to us.'

Speaking to Variety, Craig and Drew lifted the lid on their feelings towards portraying gay characters as straight men - after Daniel played serial womaniser Bond.

'It wasn't part of the audition process—(director Luca Guadagnino) didn't ask us the intricacies of our sexuality,' Drew revealed.

In real life, both men are straight, with Daniel married to Rachel Weisz and Drew dating Odessa A'Zion.

Craig added: 'I'm not dismissing it, but I didn't really...There's kind of a trust in the director, and a trust in the process of what you know, and realising that the story has massive, universal themes that appeal hopefully to everybody.

'The movie's not defined by that. I really, genuinely don't think it is. Other people see it differently—that's up to them.'

'I've been shooting sex on-screen since I did my short film 'Qui' when I was 22,' Luca added.

'I always said to myself, if you start to give that scene a level of awareness or alarm, it's going to become what it shouldn't be.

'Quality means making an audience surrender to what they are seeing,' he says, 'not judging, not feeling the fakeness of it, but believing it completely.

The films sees some steamy scenes between Daniel and Drew, with the former saying: ''You kind of have to leave your ego at the door.

'You've got to kind of just let it go. There are no rules.'

In response, Drew said: 'That's what I learned from you. There's no ego involved. I've never seen a freer actor.'

Daniel added: 'I've been in movies with terrible love scenes. It doesn't work.

'You need a director who has a sensitivity, a director who understands, to—to put it crassly—make it real. That's one's job on the day: to make it as real as possible.'

For the role, Daniel will next compete for the European Actor trophy at the 37th European Film Awards, which will be held December 7 at the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre in Switzerland.

Queer will hit limited US theaters November 27 and UK theaters December 13 - currently has a 78% critic approval rating (out of 68 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
