Split with Dawn was tough

HARRY Styles fights for breath as his character almost drowns in gritty Second World War film Dunkirk.

The One Direction singer, 22, plays soldier Tommy and features heavily in the drama’s two-minute trailer.

After a terrifying attack leaves dead troops floating in the English Channel, he is seen sitting solemnly on the beach in his combat kit.

The epic, by Batman and Interstell­ar director Christophe­r Nolan, also features Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Sir Kenneth Brannagh. It is expected to be one of the biggest box office hits of 2017.

LENNY Henry says living in a showbiz bubble made divorce with Dawn French a real struggle.

Speaking about the pressures of fame, the 58-year-old comedian said: “It is a strange job showbiz because you are in the public eye. You are in a goldfish bowl. We had a child and just wanted to get through it and be normal and love her and be respectful.”

The couple, married for 25 years, adopted a daughter in 1991 but split in 2010. Lenny compared his relationsh­ip to that of his parents, who brought him up in Dudley, West Mids.

“Everybody is interested in you when you are on TV,” he added at London’s BFI Southbank centre as part of the Black Star film series.

“But when you have seven kids and live in Dudley... nobody cares, right?”

Lenny was accused of spending the night with a 26-year-old receptioni­st while on tour in York in 1999.

He has dated make-up artist Lisa Makin, 59, since 2011. Dawn, 59, wed charity boss Mark Bignell in 2013.
