Mark Rylance says he rates Harry Styles as an actor after filming Dunkirk together.

Mark, who recently reuinted with Steven Spielberg for The BFG, says there are plenty of stunts in the WWII film, and that Harry has to do his fair share of them.

'They're not comfortable stunts', he added, 'he's just so positive and brave and brilliant'.

Harry, who had to chop off his famous long locks for the Christopher Nolan film, will also be sharing the screen with Oscar nominee Tom Hardy, Peaky Blinders' Cillian Murphy and Kenneth Branagh.

Mark, who won the Best Supporting Actor award at this years' Oscars for Bridge of Spies, admitted he was suprised by how funny the 1D star was.

'He was so funny and witty! He's very quick'

Harry is currently on a hiatus from One Direction after the band embarked on a year long break in January. Mark says he thinks the 'Drag You Down' singer has made good choice in moving into acting.

He also added that Harry is far from pop diva on set.

'I think he's a remarkable young man. He just blends into the group and has no airs'

'I can see why people are so fond of him'
