Harry Styles Reveals The Reason He Passed on Playing Prince Eric in 'The Little Mermaid'
Harry Styles is just one of the many cover stars for the comeback issue of The Face magazine.
In the glossy, the 25-year-old musician opens up about acting, music and his admiration for Elvis Presley. Check it:
On Elvis: “[Elvis] was such an icon for me growing up. There was something almost sacred about him, almost like I didn’t want to touch him. Then I ended up getting into [his life] a bit and I wasn’t disappointed.” He adds about losing out on the movie role, “I feel like if I’m not the right person for the thing, then it’s best for both of us that I don’t do it, you know?”
On going into acting: “Why do I want to act? It’s so different to music for me. They’re almost opposite for me. Music, you try and put so much of yourself into it; acting, you’re trying to totally dispensary in whosoever you’re being.”
On passing on The Little Mermaid to focus on music: “It was discussed. I want to put music out and focus on that for a while. But everyone involved in it was amazing, so I think it’s going to be great. I’ll enjoy watching it, I’m sure.”
