British heartthrob Harry Styles, of One Direction fame, was offered a role in a film by Harvey Weinstein but had to turn down the amazing opportunity as the scheduling clashed with his band's tour. 

While the iconic movie producer didn't reveal the name of the film, he did explain to The Sun newspaper that he had so much faith in the 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker as an actor that he didn't even ask for him to audition and instead, blindly offered him the part and was disappointed when he couldn't commit:

"He doesn't even have to audition for me. We offered him a part and he couldn't do the movie because he had the tour. The amount of money their tour did is crazy, so he's got obligations."

As previously reported, Weinstein went onto add that Styles oozes charm and charisma, and he believes he will one day move into a different field of the entertainment industry:

"There's no question he will enter the movie business. I get from him that he wants to. When you meet him, he's super-charismatic. He came to our Oscars party last year and then I went out to lunch with him. I've met him two or three times and he was very interested and charming. I think the guy is a movie star."
