{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Styles, mostly known for his musical abilities with the band One Direction, made his foray into acting last year in Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” where he was cast by Nolan because the director thought Styles had “an old fashioned face,” which made his role more believable and period-correct.
Wilde took home the Independent Spirit Award for best first feature for “Booksmart,” a coming-of-age buddy film about two high school friends who make up for lost fun on the eve of their graduation.
