Harris Dickinson still feels like a "chubby boy" despite losing weight and isn't used to "being desired"

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 ex ecutive Romy, who is married to Jacob (Antonio Banderas) but becomes tangled up in an intense affair with her intern Samuel (Harris).

The actress previously admitted the steamy subject matter was a big reason why she signed on because it made the film seen "exciting and bold".

When asked whether the sexual themes made her reluctant to appear in the movie during an appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show', Kidman said: "Not at all. I loved the script, I love supporting women in the industry, and it was just really good. It is exciting and bold, and I am always looking to push out of my comfort zone."

The 'Eyes Wide Shut' star described the movie as "Weird, but in a good way", and said she was initially drawn to the project due to "the voice of the female" being central to its themes and plot.

She explained: "The thing that attracted me to the film is that it's in the voice of the female. A lot of films in this genre we saw in the '90s came from the male view, but this is twisted around and told though the lens of a woman."
