'My Policeman' star Emma Corrin on importance of intimate scene with Harry Styles; reveals why it was "heartbreaking"

After her breakout role as Princess Diana in 'The Crown', Emma Corrin, will find herself in yet another love triange in the upcoming film 'My Policeman'.
Emma, who plays Marion, the wife of Harry Style's character Tom, opened up about the importance of intimate scenes in the film and how they helped to move the narrative forward. While much has been said about Harry's gay sex scene's with David Dawson's character Patrick, not much has been said about the intimate scenes between Styles and Corrin's characters.

"When Tom and Marion are first intimate together, it's almost heartbreaking," the actress says as she goes on to explain, "in the sense that, although they're physically close to each other, they're so far apart. I think it's one of the first times she realizes there's something quite significant missing from their relationship. You feel that and feel for her, and that's very powerful."
Adding how the bond between the three friends is crucial in the film, Corrin said, "The friendship that the three of them have is so central and we knew that the audience would really need to believe in that. We were lucky to have a three-week rehearsal process before we started shooting where we got to know each other."

Corrin, who identifies as a non-binary, said she found the role challenging to play in the Prime Video film. "I was willing to explore it and I learned a lot. I certainly learned what it was like for people to exist at that time," she said.
With hopes that the film will further conversations about the LGBTQIA+ community in society, Corrin concluded, "Marion's journey and what she does, is so central to furthering the narrative of queer acceptance today. It's why the film is so heartbreaking."
Directed by Michael Grandage, My Policeman is based on Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel of the same name. It also stars Gina Mckee, Linus Roache, and Rupert Everett in pivotal roles.
The film the released in theatres on October 21, will have its OTT globally release on November 4.
