Harry Styles was a pleasure to direct and a total pro, according to 'My Policeman' director Michael Grandage.

“No time did I ever feel I was working with any newcomer or beginner or novice,” Grandage tells“He’s somebody who is adept at going out in front of thousands of people a night, and he knows that that isn’t just about walking out and going up to a microphone; it’s about walking out and performing. All that happens when you take on a role like Tom Burgess. You just have to take all of those skills of trying to play to an audience and bring it into a very different arena.

That’s a very tricky question to answer. I never gave him a single note on how to be drunk or what to do because he seemed to effortlessly understand what was required in the scene and just delivered it. I can certainly confirm he was 100% sober when doing it. [.] He obviously knew what it was like for Tom to be drunk at that moment, and the fact that he relied on drinks so heavily to get through quite a lot of the part of the early part of his life. We never discussed it.

No, because remember — he’s an actor, and actors are required to do what is in the script. But it’s just worth saying that all the stuff surrounding all of the intimacy in the film was done on the basis of a very strong level of trust. I told all the actors that I would never ever put anything in the final edit that they haven’t seen and approved of.

That existed before Harry was cast. It was written in the script originally that three of them go out on the town for the night in London and start singing at the end of it. So that was just the fact that Tom Burgess sings in the thing, and we happened to end up casting somebody who does sing. If anything, he probably had to sing like Tom Burgess rather than like Harry Styles.

he only thing I will say is that there comes a point in the film where you have to start investing in the character over the actor, and that point has to occur in any film, no matter how famous the actor is playing. That moment is quite early on in the film, that’s when he is being drawn by [Patrick]. I have to tell you one thing: I never knew that there were any laughs in the film, because it’s not that kind of film. I’m delighted to hear that people found certain bits funny.
