Pop star Harry Styles has made a identify for himself proudly eschewing gender norms, promoting equality, and playing it coy when it comes to his love life (which, he insists, is none of our business). But that very same sexual and romantic ambiguity has thrown Don't Worry, Darling — Styles' new film —into the center of a social media controversy in which he has been accused of "queerbaiting," or capitalizing on pieces of the queer culture without actually identifying as queer.
Concerns are more specifically tied to remarks Styles made during an interview promoting a different forthcoming new film, My Policeman, a 1950s gay value story in which the former One Direction member plays a lead role. "So much of queer sex in film is two guys going at it, and it thoughtful of removes the tenderness from it," Styles told Rolling Stone during the interview in question. "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 [director Michael Grandage] wanted to demonstrate that it's tender and loving and sensitive." Notably, Styles also used the interview to addr
Harry Styles Discusses His Journey to “Figuring Out” His Sexuality
Harry Styles & Olivia Wilde Speak to "Toxic Negativity" Amid Romance
Harry Styles' personal life isn't up for public consumption.
The "Watermelon Sugar" singer recently opened up keeping his romantic relationships private and why he's decided to retain his sexuality to himself.
"I've never talked about my animation away from labor publicly and set up that it's benefited me positively," he explained in an interview with Rolling Stone as the magazine's newest global cover celestial body. "There's always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn't going to expend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way."
Specifically, Harry—who has been dating Olivia Wilde for more than a year—doesn't believe he owes anyone an explanation when it comes to the rampant speculation surrounding his sexual identity.
"Sometimes people say, ‘You've only publicly been with women,' and I don't think I've publicly been with anyone," he said. "If someone takes a picture of you with
Harry Styles disappoints in heartbreaking LGBTQ drama ‘My Policeman’
Didn’t realize Harry Styles was starring in another film this fall? You’re not alone. Now that the divisive, drama-packed press frenzy for “Don’t Worry Darling” has finally died down, the world is more than ready to move on. But Styles’s acting endeavors hold not ended just yet, with the British heartthrob now starring as the titular character of Michael Grandage’s historical LGBTQ romance-drama “My Policeman.”
Set in Brighton, England in the 1950s, policeman Tom Burgess (Harry Styles) and his partner Marion (Emma Corrin), a schoolteacher, form a friendship with museum curator Patrick Hazlewood (David Dawson) — a suave, articulate and cultured man. While the dynamic seems innocent at first, it is complicated by the revelation that Tom and Patrick are having a secret affair.
The film switches timelines between the 1950s and four decades later, when Marion and Tom are married, living in a miniature coastal home, and Patrick — whom they have not been in touch with for decades — moves in after suffering a stroke. Marion cares for Patrick’s medical needs while Tom wants nothing to do with him.
The film is based on a
Harry Styles addresses prying on his sexuality, says he's on his 'own journey'
Harry Styles' sexuality has been a topic of fan discussion he rarely addresses. But in a modern cover story, Styles himself dipped his toe into said discussion and shared he's on a "journey" with his sexuality.
Styles, 29, opened up about accusations that he is "queerbaiting" in an interview with Rolling Stone on Monday. Styles pushed back against the legal title, which refers to playfulness that you are a part of the LGBTQ community to gain a larger audience but never confirming if you are queer.
“Sometimes people say, ‘You’ve only publicly been with women,’ and I don’t think I’ve publicly been with anyone," he said. "If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing to own a public connection or something.”
