Don’t worry darling: Harry Styles’ accent in released sneak peek stirs reactions online

“Not everyone gets this opportunity, and if you keep talking like this you’re going to put it all at risk.”

7 years after he was catapulted to fame via the UK version of The X Factor, Harry launched his acting career in Christopher Nolan’s war epic Dunkirk.

The star was lauded for his performance despite having minimal screentime, and he soon made the impressive move into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In 2021, Harry made his cameo as Eros — the brother of Thanos — in Eternals, and he is confirmed to feature more heavily in upcoming MCU films.

As if that wasn’t enough, Harry has two much-anticipated movies coming out this year: psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, and British period romance My Policeman.

Don’t Worry Darling will be released first, and Harry’s involvement in the movie has received particular attention as he and the director, Olivia Wilde, are now in a relationship.

He famously replaced Shia LaBeouf as the character Jack and stars opposite Academy Award–nominee Florence Pugh, who plays Jack’s wife, Alice.

Don’t Worry Darling will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5, and ahead of its release, a previously unseen clip of Harry and Florence in action was shared on social media on Wednesday.

In the 18-second clip, the onscreen couple are arguing. In character as Jack, Harry shouts: “Not everyone gets this opportunity, and if you keep talking like this you’re going to put it all at risk.”

“You’re worried about a demotion?” Florence replies as Alice. “That’s what you’re worried about?”
“Our life, Alice, our life together. This, we could lose this,” her costar responds.

But the sneak peek left viewers with questions, namely in relation to Harry and his accent. People asked whether he was supposed to be British or American in the movie.
