Harris Dickinson still feels like the chubby boy despite losing weight
The 28-year-old actor – who stars alongside Nicole Kidman in erotic thriller ‘Babygirl’ – has admitted he was overweight as a child before slimming down in his late teens before launching his acting career and he doesn’t feel comfortable with the “objectification” which comes with being a screen star.
When asked how he comfortable he feels with “objectification”, he told The Independent newspaper: “Not very. That was a very quick answer.
“I mean, I’ll take it with the right filmmaker. I’m not really afraid of showing my body and stuff. I was raised to, you know, ‘love yourself, love your body, be proud of it’.”
He went on to add: “But I was a really chubby boy, right? And I didn’t shed that until I was in my late teens. So I’ve always got that in my mind, and I don’t think that ever leaves you …
“And it feels kind of strange to me, because it’s not something I’ve been particularly used to … ‘being desired’ …
“I’m happy to lean into it for the right film, but it’s not something I’m comfortable with.”
Harris has appeared in films such as ‘The King’s Man’, ‘Triangle of Sadness’, ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ and ‘Blitz’, and he’s now receiving acclaim for his role in ‘Babygirl’ which is an awards season favourite with Harris already landing the Virtuoso Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival for his performance.
In the film, Kidman, 57, stars as chief executive Romy, who is married to Jacob (Antonio Banderas) but becomes tangled up in an intense affair with her intern Samuel (Harris).
