Harry Styles, 28, has another movie on the way! The full trailer for his queer romance drama My Policeman was released on September 7, and it features the British superstar playing a closeted gay policeman named Tom Burgess. Tom is married to a school teacher named Marion (played The Crown star Emma Corrin), but he’s also in a secret relationship with an art curator named Patrick (played by David Dawson).

“This love is all-consuming,” Harry’s character says in the trailer, as he begins his secret love affair with Patrick. “I pity people who don’t know what it feels like to be this in love. Come with me. Just you and I,” Tom adds.
