HARRY STYLES is filming scenes for a new Hollywood blockbuster in Dorset.
The former One Directioner has been snapped at Swanage Railway shooting for Christopher Nolan's, Dunkirk.
Lots of young fans were down at the station on Monday with gifts for Harry. They've told the Echo they aren't moving until he speaks to them.
Also starring in the Second World War movie are Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy.
The A-list stars will be shooting in Swanage and Weymouth this week for the film.
Swanage Railway is partially closed on Monday and Tuesday due to filming, with no rail service operating between Swanage and Corfe Castle.

Speaking earlier this month, Swanage Railway Company chairman Trevor Parsons said: "We can't give further details of the filming for contractual reasons."
The bus stops, Co-op supermarket, health centre and taxi ranks in front of the Swanage station building will remain open throughout the filming.
During the two days of filming at Swanage station, a frequent passenger diesel train service will be operating between Corfe Castle and Norden stations and beyond on to the Swanage Railway's newly completed four-mile extension to the River Frome – within sight of Wareham.
The film will chronicle the evacuation of 330,000 Allied troops who were surrounded by Nazi forces in France in a daring operation between May 27 and June 4, 1940.
Meanwhile, film props and replica luggage bags and wooden boxes have also arrived in Weymouth.
Filming is due to take place on the Harbour on Wednesday and Thursday.
A notice from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council to mariners states that filming is taking place in the harbour on Wednesday, from 11am until 11pm and on Thursday, from 2pm until 2am.
Next Tuesday will be used as a 'set-up' day and Thursday will be used for clear-up.
Scores of local people could be set to star in the movie as extras following an open casting in Weymouth last month for an 'untitled' Second World War project.
The production company involved was Bodega Bay Films Ltd. Christopher Nolan has been using 'Bodega Bay' as a codename for the film.
A call for more extras posted on Facebook states that 'Bodega Bay' will be filming in Weymouth on July 28.
The film will also star Sir Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance and is due to be released next summer.
