Do I remember correctly H telling, that his family joked he would be better of auditioning for a soldiers wife in Dunkirk? If so, this tells so much about the privat (real) H and I find it fascinating that he shared this story…
Hi, love. No, not exactly. What he basically said was that he had very long hair at the time, so when he told them he got the role in Dunkirk, they thought he’d be waving the soldiers off at the station. Here’s the clip of him telling the story to Nick Grimshaw on the BBC special for the release of HS1.

It’s still a joke about him looking like a woman (or a very effeminate man), but not quite what you remembered.
I had an anon about how he looks so faded, but I accidentally deleted it, AND YOU ARE RIGHT, he's literally high...these two dudes took some edibles before going to this entire circus, and it fucking shows, my god, how I wish the One Direction fandom could recognize a) people who are functioning while on drugs and b) people who are actively experiencing subspace in public, but since you live in a specific AO3 view of the world, choose your fighter:
a) the new Nick in upcoming Harry x Nick fics
b) this Italian sugar daddy
c) some kinda modern suburban parents who swing AU
...which one put him in subspace in the middle of an international film festival, hmmm?
I think the funniest (not funny at all but ykwim) thing right now is to remember the things harry said during dunkirk promo. about the movie and about acting and about the director. all the respect he had for the craft of filmmaking and the people behind it. how much he admired the project itself, having been a part of it! he was always so full of genuine praise and awe.
it’s just really sad and embarrassing that this is where we’re at now. but at least he’s making it obvious.
