Linus Roache and Gina McKee portray older versions of couple Tom and Marion, and Roache recently explained how his performance was influenced by the musician's in the film.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, he explained: "I don't think either of us wanted to inhibit the other. He [Styles] carries the weight of the movie, the younger characters are predominantly the story. So it really was a case of just letting them do what they're going to do."

What is My Policeman about?

Based on the novel of the same name by Bethan Roberts, My Policeman is primarily set in 1950s Brighton and follows policeman Tom Burgess.

Tom, played by Styles, is the object of desire of both schoolteacher Marion and museum curator Patrick, with a secret between them threatening to destroy all of their happiness.

In a released interview with Vanity Fair, the film's director Michael Grandage revealed why Styles was perfect for the role, saying: “This story is about two people that are in love with Tom, slightly obsessed with him. Harry – the world is so transfixed on him, on his every move.”

The dramatic scenes will also show events taking place in more recent times as the characters’ choices have long-term ramifications.

Styles himself recently opened up about filming sex scenes for both movies, and when asked which would be safe to watch with your parents, he told Capital FM: "I don't know if you can watch either with your parents. I'm gonna have to do another one."

According to Billboard, Styles will display his buttocks on-screen but there will be no full-frontal nudity.
