HARRY Styles is to play a gay cop in the film adaptation of a novel.
The ex-One Direction singer, 27, will also dye his hair blond for the role in My Policeman.
It is based on the 2012 novel by Bethan Roberts and is set in Brighton in the 1950s when homo-sexuality was illegal.
Pin-up Harry, who made his film debut in Dunkirk in 2017, will play cop Tom Burgess, who has an affair with museum curator Patrick.
Emma Corrin — Princess Di in The Crown — will play his wife Marion.
The film will be set in both the 1950s and 1990s.
