He detailed to The Mirror how Styles went through the same audition process as every other actor and won the role fair and square.
Harry Styles will soon make his transition from One Direction singer to one of the several young actors starring in new Christopher Nolan film, Dunkirk.
“I don’t think he studied acting professionally and yet he won the role against some very well known actors.
Styles will appear in the WWII drama alongside fellow British actor Fionn Whitehead while Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance are all confirmed to star.
