Published 13th Apr 2016

Harry Styles is one of the biggest popstars on the planet thanks to his success with One Direction but now it has emerged he is going to give it all up to live at sea.

Don’t panic, it won’t be forever. The pop star has reportedly landed his first big movie in the film Dunkirk.

It has been six years since Harry kick-started his career on The X Factor and now it seems he could be taking Hollywood by storm.

According to reports, Harry will join the likes of Tom Hardy and Mark Rylance in the World War 2 themed movie and will play a young man who gets caught up in an evacuation as the Allied Forces fight the Nazis.

Harry is set to join his fellow cast members for a boot camp to prepare them for the film on an old Navy ship far out at sea where he will have zero access to running water or electricity.

A source close to the star said “Harry is used to living the life of luxury so this will be a very interesting experience.

“He knows this boot camp at sea is a big part of the job and is keen to get stuck in. But this will be tough and producers are trying to make life on board as realistic as possible.”

The cast, along with Harry, will receive rations of food and have no connections with the outside world to help them get into full character for the film.

Since One Direction announced they were taking a hiatus earlier in the year, Harry has kept a low profile with fans wondering if he was working on solo material.

Music mogul, Simon Cowell, recently confirmed all of the 1D boys have solo projects coming soon but so far only former band member, Zayn Malik, has released any material.

Harry is set to start filming for the film later in the year, with its release date set for mid-2017.
