Harry Styles on understanding the mind of a closeted gay for My Policeman

[TaylorSwift 162,395]

At a press conference on Sunday, Styles said spoke about how he was able to get in the headspace of his character, the closeted policeman Tom.

“I think he’s very curious,” Styles said.
“I think he’s someone who is born into a very small world and, if you’re born into that kind of environment, you feel like you know where the edge of the world is. Slowly throughout the story, I think he’s realizing that it is a little further away than Brighton. I think people live entire lives in very small bubbles like that, and if that’s how you’ve been brought up, and everyone around you and generations before you, your parents, etc. have all lived within their kind of small bubble, it’s obviously very difficult to even picture the world outside of that.

“So I think when he meets someone like [his lover] Patrick, who is well-traveled and likes art, he finds himself kind of being curious about those things,” Styles continued. “It’s feeding his curiosity, it’s kind of strange for him to be curious about stuff. And then I think with Marion he also finds ultimately a friend who is the most accepting of him, and I think that’s why, kind of regardless of whichever way you think on their relationship, I think their friendship is incredibly real and loving and tender.”

Lots of US southern minds honestly. I go into these threads hoping he'd surprise me by being accurate and not so flat and I will say he kind of did it with this. So many gay men in the South have never been exposed to the world. I was once a close friend with somebody who had probably never left the 60 mile radius of his town, besides possibly the beach a couple of times. He was so oblivious to many things, but I think the most shocking thing was his belief that STDs come purely from gay sex. As in they just materialized out of thin air because two men are having sex.

He's right what he's saying about small town people though, there are many ignorant people round where I live that haven't even left the area before

Gonna go with mental health professionals and the DSM-V (albeit imperfect). And not celebrities for considerations  on mental health concerns.

What I love about the mind of a closeted gay is that it feels like the mind of a closeted gay

Can’t wait to see how some of you will turn this pretty accurate statement into something negative.

My favorite thing about playing a closeted gay man, is that it felt like I was playing a closeted gay man
