While stopping by PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly’s photo and video studio at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on Monday, the British actor, 40, explained how he reached a comfort level with pop star Styles, 28, prior to working on their sex scenes together.
“Very quickly you have to get rid of any kind of notion of what you knew of the musician before and just deal with him as a fellow actor. And he makes that incredibly easy to do,” Dawson says of Styles. “He’s incredibly down to earth. He’s a good Northern lad like myself.”
He says they had a three-week rehearsal process that allowed them to “build that friendship and chemistry” between himself, Styles and costar Emma Corrin. Additionally, director Michael Grandage created a comfortable, collaborative environment on set, the actor says.
After My Policeman’s TIFF premiere this weekend, Styles said during a Q&A that he felt “very lucky to get to work with David and Emma.”
“When you have the opportunity to work with people that you just feel good hanging around, they’re both wonderful people to be around,” he said. “So I think having a base of a real friendship outside of the characters obviously allows for kind of the friendship scenes, if you will, it doesn’t require much acting, and the kind of more intense scenes, there’s a lot of trust and safety there. All of that kind of benefits I think from just a real connection.”
My Policeman is in select theaters Oct. 21, then on Prime Video Nov. 4. The British theater vet, who portrays Patrick, a young gay man who falls in love with Styles’ Tom in repressed 1950s Britain, had the task of finding his bearings around Styles’ superstardom. Dawson says that he and Styles came to an understanding — and a trust.
“Me and Harry promised each other we would always look out for each other during it,” said Dawson. “I can’t emphasize the importance of an intimacy coordinator enough.”
“We had about two, three weeks rehearsal, which is very rare in film,” Corrin said. “We had three weeks to break down the scenes and talk about them, a lot of talking, which is lovely. And it meant that when it came to we all felt very safe and comfortable.”
The result is an absolutely devastating love story, but no spoilers. You’ll have to see it for yourself when the movie comes out on Amazon Prime on November 4. Until then, feel free to watch this trailer on repeat.
