Harry Styles fans swarm tiny town in Dorset to try and catch a glimpse of the star filming World War two drama Dunkirk
The One Direction star is making his acting debut in the Christopher Nolan film
HARRY Styles fans have mobbed the small town of Weymouth in Dorset to catch a glimpse of the star filming World War Two drama, Dunkirk.
Crowds of teenage girls gathered at the seaside town in the hopes of seeing the One Direction star in his army gear.
Such is Harry's level of fame that the young star has hired a full-time bodyguard to protect him from fans while he's on set.
An insider spoke to Mirror Online and said: "Harry has to have a full-time bodyguard to follow him around because fans have been breaking onto set to see him."
The source continued: ‘He’s the only person who has a security guard at his side round the clock, but his minder follows him home too.
"[The fans] managed to find out where he’s staying and and have been camped outside his hotel even when he’s not even there."
It looked like Harry had another tough day on set as he was covered in mud and dirt as he returned from filming out at sea.
The pop singer, who famously chopped off his long locks for the role, looked every inch the hardened soldier in his army gear.

It appears that Harry has quite a large role in Christopher Nolan's epic as last week he was pictured covered in blood and mud for his gritty role, sparking fears his character could get killed off in the epic Battle of Dunkirk scenes.
Dunkirk marks the 22-year-old’s first acting gig since leaving the glamorous world of pop stardom behind him.
The film will see Harry star alongside the likes of Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy.
Set in 1940, the movie depicts the real-life events that occurred in Dunkirk, during the battle against Nazi Germany.
Code-named Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of soldiers from Dunkirk between May 26 and June 4 was one of the most successful rescue missions in British history.
Many are keen to know what Harry is like to work with and his co-star Mark Rylance told the Evening Standard that he has a “gift”.
He said: “What’s really surprised me is he’s really witty, really funny – he really makes me laugh. He’s been ever so brave, not making any fuss.
"He seems remarkable ... one of those people - Sean Penn has it too - a kind of panache.
"I look at them and think, 'How did you get that? How do you get so that life is easy?' But he has got a lovely, lovely character. It's a gift."
