Harry Styles would be the first one to tell you that acting is out of his comfort zone, and that’s precisely why he dabbles in it in the first place. Speaking with Dazed, the “As It Was” singer said he enjoys the challenge involved in playing different characters on-screen.
“I like to challenge myself and do something different, and movies are definitely where I feel most out of my comfort zone,” Styles said (via People). “I’m coming from music where I don’t think anyone really knows how it works, but I am somewhat in my comfort zone! But in movies, when I show up, I’m the new guy. I haven’t been [an actor] for a long time and that’s really cool, I feel like I’ve learned so much and life is about learning.”
In an interview with Howard Stern, Styles also admitted that he sometimes finds acting “uncomfortable,” especially if the role demands him to do something he’s not particularly fond of, like love scenes. “Acting is kind of very uncomfortable at times,” Style dished (via GQ). “I think you have to trust a lot. It requires a lot of trust if you want to give it everything. I think being able to trust your director is a gift,” he added. “That was very helpful. It really meant for kind of a really nice experience working on that movie.”
