Fans are already speculating Harry’s character is inspired by Eros, the Greek god of love and sex.
Since One Direction disbanded in 2016, the 27-year-old has pursued a successful solo career, and made his debut as an actor.
His first role was in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk back in 2017, and he’s since landed major roles in two upcoming films – Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman.
