Hi hi! Apologies if this is too big of an ask. But I was hoping, as someone who's seen so much of Daniel Brühl's work if you'd be able to list any/all movies and shows he's in where he plays queer/neurodivergent characters.
I'm aware of course that he plays Karl Lagerfeld in Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, who was a gay man and I believe he plays a gay man as Tony in Burnt. But I'm not aware of any other possible characters. (Also happy if you were to recommend heavily queer/neurodivergent 'coded' characters as well).
Thank you kindly 🪻💜.
Hey there 👋 no worries at all!
You're right — he does play gay characters in those projects. I also find his characters in Love in Thoughts, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Cargo sexually fluid, if not outright queer-coded. I'd also be surprised if this character of his hasn’t been part of an orgy or two.
I'm not sure if my understanding of “neurodivergent” is correct, but I’d point you toward The White Sound, Rush, and The Alienist.
Hope this helps!
p.s. of everything I've mentioned, feel free to skip Cargo.
