Why popstars turning to acting 'rarely works' as Harry Styles stars in Don't Worry Darling

Harry Styles has cemented himself as a successful actor – despite mixed reviews of his acting style. The star was well received in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk in 2017, and early reviews for My Policeman, which he stars in alongside Emma Corrin, have raved about him – but the same can’t quite be said for Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, which saw many worry (darling) that Harry would struggle opposite powerhouse Florence Pugh.

It’s said that no publicity is bad publicity and that could well be the case with Don’t Worry Darling. It’s expected to smash it at the box office, following unconfirmed rumours of a feud between Florence and Olivia, and bizarre moments like ‘spit-gate’ at Venice Film Festival (yep, we’re still thinking about it).

But is making the move to acting always a good choice for an actor?There’s no doubting that the move from the music industry to the film industry and vice versa can and has been done incredibly successfully.

Jennifer Lopez first saw success as an actress, before diving head-first into the music industry. Two decades on, she’s widely acclaimed in both industries.
