Harry Styles wasn’t allowed to use two particular items while shooting Dunkirk!
The former One Direction member and his castmates had to give up both water bottles and chairs on set, as director Christopher Nolan wasn’t a fan.
“[Christopher] does things like he doesn’t like having chairs on set for actors or bottles of water, he’s very particular,” Harry‘s co-star Mark Rylance told the Independent.
Their other co-star Barry Keoghan explained Christopher‘s reasoning behind the decisions.
“They’re distractions – the noise of [the bottles], they’re like toys almost, playing around with toys,” he shared. “[The lack of chairs] keeps you on your toes, literally.”
Mark added that Christopher is “very particular about using film and everything being real in front of the camera, so there were a lot of old techniques used in this film to make it look real. The flames on the water and men swimming in them; he really wants to minimize the amount of post-production and CGI stuff.”
Ever since the world found out Harry Styles was making his acting debut in the film Dunkirk, everyone has been dying to see it… and for more reasons than one.
Harry wears his hair short for the movie because he is playing the part of a World War II soldier, and it was definitely a change for the long-locked singer.
“It kind of went without saying,” he told E! News of the change, “It was a little breezy behind the ears, which was nice.” He also said that he didn’t “really think” about the change because he was so excited to be working on the new project.
Honestly, Harry looks amazing anyway you cut it — and we can’t wait to see his on-screen debut!
