According to Harry Styles’ co-star in an upcoming film, they spent days rehearsing their sex scenes.
David Dawson, 40, and Styles, 28, will co-star with Emma Corrin in “My Policeman,” which will be distributed on Prime Video on November 4 following a limited release in British theaters beginning on October 21.
The Amazon summary describes it as a “story of forbidden love and shifting social customs.” Decades pass as we observe the evolving interactions between a police officer, portrayed by Styles, a teacher, portrayed by Corrin, and a museum curator, portrayed by Dawson.
Dawson stated in an interview with The Times of London that he, Styles, and Corrin had three weeks to rehearse prior to filming, which helped them create chemistry on-screen.
Several days were spent rehearsing extended sexual sequences between Dawson and Styles, according to the actor.
“Michael [Grandage, the director] recruited an intimacy coordinator, and the process was highly collaborative. It seemed like a lovely dance “Dawson said.
In addition, the British actor stated that he and Styles discussed how to make each other feel comfortable throughout the sessions.
“Me and Harry vowed on the first day of our relationship that we would always look out for each other and continue to check in with each other. Harry and I wanted these sequences to be as perfect as possible “Dawson added.
Styles had previously discussed the experience of filming sex scenes for “My Policeman” and lauded Grandage’s direction.
In a Rolling Stone interview published in August, Styles stated, “So lot of homosexual sex in films consists of two men fighting, which removes some of the sensitivity.” “There will likely be some viewers who were very much alive during the time when it was illegal to be gay, and Michael wanted to demonstrate that the film is compassionate, loving, and sympathetic.”
It is Styles’ second performance in a feature film released this year, following “Don’t Worry Darling,” which is anticipated to be made available on HBO Max after its theatrical debut.
