Daniel Craig‘s decision to frequent Gay pubs went back to his childhood when he wanted to reduce the likelihood of being involved in violent altercations, which he acknowledged were widespread in straight establishments.

He said how the desire to enjoy a quiet night out led him to choose gay pubs as a safer option. He said on the podcast Lunch with Bruce, 

“I’ve been going to gay bars for as long as I can remember. One of the reasons: because I don’t get into fights in gay bars that often.”

Daniel Craig has been happily married to Rachel Weisz for over ten years, so while it may seem like an unusual option for a married guy, it gave him the chance to meet women when he was still single.

He admitted that gay clubs provided a good setting for networking and socializing since they frequently drew women with similar goals.
