Singer and actor Harry Styles talked about the gay sex scenes he shot with David Dawson (“The Last Kingdom”) for “My Policeman” in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Describing the sequences as “tender and loving,” he revealed that he was drawn to the film precisely by the theme.
“It’s very absurd to think today, ‘Oh, no one could be gay then. It was illegal.’ I think everyone, myself included, has their own path to understand their sexuality, to feel more comfortable with it. It’s a gay story. of two gay boys, but a story of love and lost time “.
Speaking specifically of the hot scenes that police officer Tom (Styles) shares with museum curator Patrick (Dawson), Styles said he stayed true to director Michael Grandage (“The Master of Geniuses”) intentions.
“A lot of gay sex scenes in the movies are just two guys kissing, and that takes the tenderness out of the moment. I guess there will be people watching the movie who were alive around this time, when it was illegal to be gay, and Michael wanted to show. that tenderness, this love, this sensitivity “, he said.
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Bethan Roberts, the film is set in the late 1990s, when the arrival of the disabled elderly Patrick at Marion and Tom’s home kicks off an exploration of events 40 years ago: l passionate relationship between Tom and Patrick back in the days when homosexuality was illegal in the UK.
