release of a teaser trailer for his forthcoming film “My Policeman.” The romantic drama sees Styles play a married cop who embarks on a gay affair with a museum curator in 1950s England.
The 60-second trailer — which racked up more than 115,000 views in just a few hours — shows the One Direction alum steaming up the screen with male co-star David Dawson as their characters try to conceal their scandalous same-sex relationship.
The homoerotic trailer proved too much for many viewers, who flooded Twitter to express their emotions. “The way [Dawson] grabs [Styles’] neck.
I AM NOT READY FOR THIS MOVIE,” one breathlessly wrote. “I have never waited so long for a movie and seeing this teaser makes me want to see it even more,” another fawned.
