Singer-actor Harry Styles was overwhelmed while working for his film "Dunkirk" as the place in real world witnessed a loss of thousands of lives during the Second World War.

The 23-year-old says shooting "Dunkirk" on the place where the real World War II evacuations took place and where almost 70,000 lives were lost, brought home the scale of the tragedy to the cast and crew and they all felt a lot of "respect" for the "energy" of the French coast.

"I think everyone was very aware of where we were. The first thing for me was just real shock at the size of the beach. You try to imagine it filled with men and filled with bodies," Styles told.

"It's quite overwhelming. And I think being there as opposed to just in a film studio left no room for complaints for the whole crew. Filming was very physical, but I think everyone was aware that in comparison to the real soldiers' experience, we weren't going through much at all," he added.
