THE CITY has been left starstruck after Harry Styles and an all-star cast arrived to shoot a new feature film.

This week, the former One Direction star has been filming for his latest project at locations in Brighton and Hove.

Mainly filming in Regency Square, crowds were seen gathered into the evening as they tried to catch a glimpse of the star.

Harry wore a 1950s police uniform, fitting with the period in which the film is set.

Several classic cars were parked along Regency Square and extras dressed in period costume could be seen stood in position waiting for their next take.

Fans of Harry were thrilled that they had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their idol on their doorstep.

One fan who waited for hours to see Harry in the flesh said, “he looked so good” in his police hat and that she was “living her best life.”

The crew later relocated to film a scene inside Belcher’s Cafe in Montpelier Road, Brighton, with filming going on into the early hours of this morning.

Harry could be seen sitting inside the cafe with his co-star and on-screen wife Emma Corrin.

Actor David Dawson, who starred in BBC crime drama Luther, was also pictured on set.

Beginning on the bank holiday weekend with crews setting up in the car park of Worthing Leisure Centre, filming officially began on Monday and will continue for the next few weeks.

My Policeman is based on Brighton author Bethan Roberts’s 2012 novel of the same name.

Harry Styles will portray Tom, the police officer of the title and Emma Corrin, star of The Crown, will play Marion, his on-screen wife.

The story takes place in the late 1990s when the arrival of Patrick, an elderly invalid, triggers an exploration of events from 40 years previous – Tom and Patrick’s relationship at a time when being gay was illegal.

Award-winning theatre director Michael Grandage will direct from an adapted screenplay by Oscar-winner Ron Nyswaner, who penned 1993 legal drama Philadelphia.
