Harris Dickinson is speaking out about one aspect of his Babygirl experience that he didn’t love.
During a recent appearance on Josh Horowitz‘s Happy Sad Confused podcast, the 29-year-old actor revealed that, while he’s proud of the movie and the work he did with director Halina Reijn and co-star Nicole Kidman, the way the internet reacted to him afterward has made him uncomfortable.

He then goes on to note several interactions where women would say things to him that are “deeply inappropriate.”
“Like when I was doing that press and when we were doing Q&As and stuff. Afterwards, there were some situations that were completely unacceptable. You’re expected to just laugh it off,” adds The Iron Claw star.

During one specific incident, a fellow airplane passenger asked him to dance for her, referring to the scene in Babygirl where his character dances shirtless to George Michael‘s “Father Figure.”
Apparently, the woman mentioned the film and then “added that she wouldn’t be saying the rest,” per Entertainment Weekly. Her comment would seem to imply something suggestive.
Recalling the incident, Harris notes, “That’s not okay. I don’t want to know about your sexual experience with this story.”
“People could say, ‘Oh, well, you did a film that you knew was going to be somewhat erotic.’ And it’s like, ‘Yeah, but the film that we made and the approach that Halina spoke about, for me, it was something way more unique. It wasn’t a reductive thing. In my mind, I saw it as one thing and then, I guess, you can’t control the perception of it and the way that people want to talk about it and the narrative,” the English actor concluded.
In happier news, Harris recently celebrated the premiere of his directorial debut Urchin and several of his Beatles co-stars came out to support him!
