"I've been going to gay bars for as long as I can remember," Craig said on the podcast Lunch with Bruce. "One of the reasons: because I don't get into fights in gay bars that often." The 53-year-old said he started going to gay bars when he was young because he wanted to avoid ending up "being in a punch-up" during a night out, which he said happened "quite a lot" in straight venues. Craig, who has been married to Rachel Weisz for a decade, also said that when he was single it was a good way to meet women. "[Gay bars] would just be a good place to go," he said. "Everybody was chill, everybody. You didn't really have to sort of state your sexuality. It was OK. And it was a very safe place to be. And I could meet girls there, cos there are a lot of girls there for exactly the same reason I was there. It was kind of an ulterior motive."
