Singer-songwriter Harry Styles is one of the biggest music artistes in the world. He is known for both his soft-rock tunes and eclectic fashion style. And now, Styles will try his hand at serious acting with ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ and ‘My Policeman’ hitting the big screens soon.
While Styles made his silver screen debut with 2017’s WWII war epic ‘Dunkirk’, directed by Christopher Nolan, and even made a cameo in Marvel’s Eternals (2021), ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ and ‘My Policeman’ are his first try at a leading role.
