Did the upcoming ?Star Wars? standalone film about young Han Solo almost cast Harry Styles?
The pop star, formerly of the boy band One Direction, hinted that he read for the part. It wound up in the hands of ?Hail, Caesar!? star Alden Ehrenreich.
Styles appeared this weekend as a guest of popular UK chat show host Graham Norton. The men played a game called Dead Pan, requiring a tight close up of Styles? face as Norton read various tabloid headlines written about him throughout his career. Styles? reaction would indicate if the stories were true or false.
Norton lobbed at Styles, ?You auditioned to be the new Han Solo." Styles smirked and raised his eyebrows over the suggestion. Other guests on Norton?s couch took that to mean he, indeed, read for the part. Styles neither confirmed nor denied.
