Harry Styles cried when he first watched Dunkirk. The 23-year-old singer and actor makes his movie debut in the upcoming drama, which sees him play the role of soldier Alex in the World War II drama about the famous Dunkirk Evacuation, and the star has admitted he was overcome with emotion when he observed himself in action at the filmâs premiere in Londonâs Leicester Square last week.
Speaking about his reaction to his pal Nick Grimshaw on his BBC Radio One Breakfast Show on Monday (17.07.17), the One Direction heartthrob said: âThe first time I watched it, because I hadnât seen anything and how heâd put the story together, I was more watching to see how the story was, and when I watched it at the premiere in London it got me a couple of times. There were a couple of emotional bits but I didnât know if I was allowed to cry at a film Iâm in, but yeah it was really emotional. Itâs a very personal experience, even if youâre watching it in a cinema full of people you feel like youâre watching it on your own.â
The âSign of the Timesâ hitmaker, who appears in the film alongside Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance among others, has admitted he felt overwhelmed on the first day of filming because he was âscaredâ of the filmâs director Christopher Nolan.
The dark-haired hunk said: âI think walking onto the set was so overwhelming. Trying to imagine something of that size and when you actually see it, itâs insane. And I was pretty in awe of him [Christopher Nolan] the whole time I was filming. I was a bit scared of him.â
