We’re two fucking grown men,” Craig said. “OK, the last bit is a tad gross, but who amongst us hasn’t taken a straight friend to a gay bar who’s ended up pulling,” wrote the culture magazine the Glue.Ĭraig and the podcast’s host, Bruce Bozzi, who are old friends, also recalled being photographed hugging outside a gay bar in Venice Beach, California, in 2010, which at the time sparked tabloid speculation about Craig’s sexuality.
His podcast comments were largely welcomed by the LGBT community on Thursday, though some felt uncomfortable about his attempts to meet women in gay spaces. “The thing is, it just breaks the ice,” Craig said.
He recently sent fans into a spin when he told Stephen Colbert that he kissed all of his leading men, after the No Time to Die villain Rami Malek said they had once had a playful smooch after rehearsal. Craig, who made his name starring alongside Jason Isaacs in Angels in America, the Pulitzer prize-winning play examining Aids and homosexuality in the US in the 1980s, has always been comfortable bending the boundaries of his sexuality.
