“So the truth is, I cast Harry because he fit the part wonderfully and truly earned a seat at the table.”

Harry’s co-star Mark Rylance added that his 11-year-old niece was also super excited which clued him in to what a big friggen’ deal Harry is.

“She was just more excited than anything I’ve ever done because I was going to be acting with Harry Styles… I went up in her estimation. I won the Harry!” he said.

Okay, so we’re glad that they’re finally aware that Harry is a shining angel from heaven and we’re all unworthy of his presence.
