Harry Styles Says ‘Dunkirk’ Audition Scarier Than Auditioning for Simon Cowell

On the British talk show This Morning, pop star turned actor Harry Styles was asked about the difference between auditioning for Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan and auditioning for Simon Cowell. Styles auditioned for Cowell on the X Factor in 2010, which turned into a spot in the boy band, One Direction. Cowell is known for being brash and brutally honest, but Styles said it was actually harder auditioning for Nolan, mainly because Nolan is the exact opposite of Cowell. Styles says Nolan just sits in the darkness in the back of the room and doesn’t say anything.
