Is it goodbye to Harry Styles on the big screen?
The former One Direction member is reportedly turning down multiple opportunities in Hollywood.
An insider told Life & Style magazine that the "Watermelon Sugar" singer ihesitates to return to acting after his less-than-ideal experience with the movie "Don't Worry, Darling."
"[Styles'] number one love is absolutely music," according to a source who spoke to the outlet.
"Technically he's still open for business for acting, meaning he wants to see all offers and look at all scripts if they're interesting. But he's not saying yes to anything and not seeking out the kind of meetings that could lead to future films."
An individual with insider knowledge reveals that the Grammy winner's acting career transcends mere financial considerations, emphasizing the importance of prestige.
"It's hard to believe but he still hasn't done a true leading man turn in a big American film yet: Dunkirk and Don't Worry Darling were ensemble movies and his role in Eternals was merely a small cameo."
However, the source said that despite that, Styles still has "unfinished business on the acting side."
"[Styles] seems to be holding out for something really special to fall into his lap, and a filmmaker to come along that he can't say no to, like he had with Christopher Nolan and "Dunkirk."
At the top of the "As It Was" singer's list is his dedication to creating new music, focusing on writing and recording. The challenges and intensity of his time working on"Don't Worry Darling have made him cautious and hesitant to dive into new projects.
The insider draws a poignant conclusion about the risky nature of achieving success in acting. They emphasize the British singer-actor's undeniable allure in the music industry, highlighting its stability and lucrative rewards.
