One Direction 'On the Road Again' Tour, Songs & News Update 2015: Harry Styles Rejects Hollywood Movie Role for 1D Tour
Ahead of One Direction's highly anticipated "On the Road Again" tour, Harry Styles recently sat down with renowned film producer Harvey Weinstein to discuss a movie role in an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster. Will he finally pursue his solo film career?
"There's no question he will enter the movie business. I get from him that he wants to. When you meet him, he's super-charismatic," Weinstein revealed to The Sun. "He came to our Oscars party last year and then I went out to lunch with him. I've met him two or three times, and he was very interested and charming. I think the guy is a movie star."
Styles was then asked to star in the film studio executive's forthcoming project, but he had to turn down the offer because of his music priority.
"You know he's a dashing rogue – a fun-loving, spirited kind of actor that used to be in England all the time. Like David Niven or Douglas Fairbanks, he's got that vibe, he really does," Weinstein said. "And he doesn't even have to audition for me. We offered him a part and he couldn't do the movie because he had the tour. The amount of money their tour did is crazy, so he's got obligations."
This certainly is not the first time the "Steal My Girl" singer had said no to Weinstein. MailOnline reported back in August that Styles rejected an opportunity in star-studded "Tulip Fever," set to feature Judi Dench, Christoph Waltz, Zach Galifianakis and ex-girlfriend Cara Delevingne.
"I offered Harry Styles a role in 'Tulip Fever' but he was touring so he had to turn it down," Weinstein said at the time. "The part ended up going to Matthew Morrison and let me tell you this, the very first scene he shot was one of him kissing Cara Delevingne.
"So I'm sure Harry won't be turning down the next role I offer him," he jokingly said.
When asked what it is about Harry Styles that made him reach out to him, Harvey Weinstein said, "He's like Errol Flynn, he's got that swashbuckling charm. Definite star potential. I think he'd be great. No question."
