Christopher Nolan Compares Casting Harry Styles in 'Dunkirk' to Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight'

FUSE TV - Christopher Nolan Compares Casting Harry Styles in 'Dunkirk' to Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight'

Harry Styles is set to make his film debut in Dunkirk this month, but his celebrity stature didn't phase Christopher Nolan! As the director made his press rounds in promoting the movie, he revealed that he never heard of Styles prior to casting him. The decision also reminded him of a certain Heath Ledger.

"I don't think I was that aware really of how famous Harry was [before casting].I mean, my daughter had talked about him," Nolan said via The Hollywood Reporter. "My kids talked about him, but I wasn't really that aware of it. So the truth is, I cast Harry because he fit the part wonderfully and truly earned a seat at the table."
