Omar Apollo has shared his reaction to losing followers after posting his Daniel Craig sex scene online.

Apollo, 27, stars alongside Craig, 56, in the Luca Guadagnino-directed romance-drama, Queer, which first hit cinemas last month (13 December).

The flick is set in 1950s Mexico City and follows outcast American expatriate, Lee (Craig), fall for a much-younger former soldier named Eugene Allerton, played by Drew Starkey, 31.

Check out the official A24 trailer here:

Apollo, a singer-songwriter, plays the role of 'Chimu Bar Guy' who ends up meeting Craig's character in a, you guessed it, bar.

The two end up hooking up, leading to a full-frontal scene from Apollo.

Apollo took to Instagram last week to share a snap of the scene in question, which saw a topless Craig looking at Apollo's penis which was aptly covered up with an a tongue-out emoji.

He captioned the film still: "Queer available on streaming now for all the dLs that didn’t wanna go to theatre."

However, while many of the actor's fans flooded his comments with praise and support for his role in the box-office smash, others reportedly unfollowed him shortly after he posted the picture.

Apollo has since taken to Instagram once again to share a statement on the matter, writing: "I'm losing followers for posting this

"Unfollow me if ur a homophobe. You're not my target audience. I will never make myself 'palatable'.

He added: "This isn't my life, I AM life. Stupid."

He's since been inundated with support following the story upload with one Instagram user writing: "Um who wouldn’t post their sex scene with Daniel Craig???? He is hot as hell! People are so dumb… all those followers are jealous."

"Dude if it was me I'd post it on a billboard fr. Bro is doing what any of us would do," revealed a second.

And a third chimed in: "In fact imma go follow @omarapollo now!"

Craig previously opened up about his sex scene with Apollo, telling Attitude: "That scene is primarily about loneliness. For both characters. Omar’s part, and my part."

"It’s a very sad moment in the movie for me," the Bond star added. "It’s someone looking for something and not finding it."

Queer is still available to watch in certain cinemas.
