Read our privacy policy Knives Out director Rian Johnson has confirmed that Daniel Craig’s character, Benoit Blanc, is gay. Alluding to the well-known actor who makes a cameo as Blanc’s apparent partner, Johson continued: “And there’s nobody in the world I can imagine in bringing me more joy for Benoit Blanc to be with.” Craig added: “No spoilers, who wouldn’t want to live with that person?” Fans have shared their delight at the news on social media, with many praising the decision to remove any ambiguity surrounding the character’s sexuality. Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc in ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' “Honestly really dope,” wrote someone else. “I hope his sexuality isn’t censored or like, we actually get to see Blanc be openly gay.” “Benoit Blanc is canonically queer, what a good f***ing day,” another person wrote.
