Gird your loins, girls and gays, because the first on-set pics of Grammy-winning "Watermelon Sugar" and "Adore You" singer Harry Styles dressed up as a gay cop for his role in the upcoming queer drama film My Policeman are officially here!
Yup, some paparazzi pics were snapped while Harry was filming scenes for the movie in Brighton, U.K., and of course, the mere sight of the pop star donning an old-timey policeman's uniform (that hat!!) had Twitter in an absolute tizzy...
The news of Harry signing onto the My Policeman project first broke back in September of 2020, when the upcoming film adaptation of English author Bethan Roberts' 2012 gay-themed novel was announced to be produced by TV legend Greg Berlanti. According to the novel's GoodReads page, My Policeman tells the tale of tragic love triangle (set in the '50s) between a policeman named Tom, his wife Marion, and Tom's paramour Patrick.
"From the moment Marion first lays eyes on Tom — her best friend's big brother, broad, blond, blue-eyed — she is smitten," the book's description reads. "And when he comes home from National Service to be a policeman, Marion, a newly qualified teacher, is determined to win him. Unable to acknowledge the signs that something is amiss, she plunges into marriage, sure that her love is enough for both of them."
It continues:
"But Tom has another life, another equally overpowering claim on his affections. Patrick, a curator at the Brighton Museum, is also besotted with his policeman, and opens Tom's eyes to a world previously unknown to him. But in an age when those of 'minority status' were condemned by society and the law, it is safer for this policeman to marry his teacher. The two lovers must share him, until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed."
As if Harry taking on a queer role wasn't exciting enough news as is, to add more fuel to the fire, last month it was reported that the 27-year-old would reportedly be filming not one, but TWO steamy AF sex scenes for the film with his co-star, British actor David Dawson.
"Not much is going to be left to the imagination," an unnamed, inside source close to the production of My Policeman said in an April report from The Sun. "Harry is throwing himself into this new role and is really excited about the challenge, even though it’s a daunting task. He always wants to do things that people wouldn’t expect and challenge what people think about him — and this film will really do that."
"Harry will be having sex on screen and they want it to look as real as possible," the report also reads. "The plan is to shoot two romps between Harry and David, then another scene where Harry is naked on his own."
We haven't even seen the finished results yet, but we can already tell My Policeman is gonna be a cult fave! It can't come out soon enough!!
