In an interview, Harry Styles talked about shooting gay sex scenes for his next film My Policeman. Styles portrays a gay policeman in the 1950s film My Policeman who tries to maintain his marriage while engaging in a same-sex relationship, which was against the law at the time. Styles, who is presently enjoying the success of his new album Harry House, spoke candidly about his acting endeavours in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Styles spoke out about how the movie’s sex scenes will differ from other movies’ depictions of gay sex. Harry insisted that after reading the script by Oscar-nominated author Ron Nyswaner, he was drawn to the role. The singer discussed how it was crucial to him that the sex scenes were “tender” and “kind” in an interview with Rolling Stone. In the movie, Styles plays a gay police officer who battles to maintain his marriage while engaging in a same-sex relationship, which was against the law at the time.

Styles said, “It’s not like ‘This is a gay story about these guys being gay.’ It’s about love and about wasted time to me.” He added, “So much of gay sex in film is two guys going at it, and it kind of removes the tenderness from it. There will be, I would imagine, some people who watch it who were very much alive during this time when it was illegal to be gay, and [Michael] wanted to show that it’s tender and loving and sensitive.”

However Harry’s comments appear to have drawn criticism from internet users who have noted how several recent movies, including as Call Me By Your Name, Moonlight, and God’s Own Country, have managed to stay in the space of erotic and sensitive portrayals of gay sex in contrast to the singer’s beliefs.
