"Peaky Blinders" actor Cillian Murphy has praised former One Direction star Harry Styles' acting in upcoming film "Dunkirk".

The musician is making his acting debut in the Christopher Nolan blockbuster and he has found fans among several movie stars.

Oscar winner Mark Rylance previously compared him to Oscar winner Sean Penn, and now Murphy has also praised the singer, reported Digital Spy.

"Harry Styles is great. I had very few scenes with Harry but we got to hang out and I've got to say he's a great, great kid, and really, really funny," Murphy said.

He added: "Above all, Chris Nolan knows talent and would have cast Harry for a reason.
 

"There's a long history of musicians moving over into acting and I come from that world myself, so I'm sure he'll be terrific in the role. I trust Chris implicitly in that."

Styles signed up for his first major movie role in March, and his "Dunkirk" co-stars include acting greats like Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy.
