While Omar Apollo might be known for stealing hearts through his songs, the singer says that his upcoming role in a new film saw him stealing a scene alongside a former 007.

In a new story for Interview Magazine, Apollo interviewed Drew Starkey, his co-star in the upcoming Luca Guadagnino film Queer. At one point, when the pair began speaking about their respective diets for the film, Apollo revealed that he shot a sex scene with co-star Daniel Craig.

“I had to get on the soup diet. Luca did not tell me to lose weight, but when you’re about to have a sex scene with Daniel Craig, you’re like, ‘Oh, dude, I can’t be looking off,’” Apollo said. “I was at 200 pounds, because I’m 6’5″ … but I got down to 181 when the movie came. I lost 20 pounds because I read in the script that my character had a flat brown stomach. I was like, ‘Damn, I’m actually not flat right now.’ I had to get it together, and I was on tour with SZA. Luckily, I didn’t have that many lines.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Apollo spoke glowingly of the Knives Out actor, saying that he helped ease his nerves before their big scene. “I had a really cool experience with him … I remember asking him, ‘How do you feel when the camera’s on?’ And he said, ‘To be honest, every time the camera’s on me, I’m terrified,’” Apollo revealed. “I thought that was beautiful. You have to be vulnerable. You have to be open to these emotions. It was such an honest answer.”

Queer is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by author William S. Burroughs. It follows the story of William Lee (Craig), an American expatriate living in Mexico City in the 1940s who becomes infatuated with a younger man (Starkey). Apollo’s specific role in the film has yet to be revealed.
