Harry Styles’ ‘Music for a Sushi Restaurant’ Actor on His Iconic Moment: ‘I Got Slapped by a Squid’

There aren’t many individuals who can say that they’ve been slapped by Harry Styles. Zeus Rocancourt can.

In his new “Music for a Sushi Café” music video, Styles plays a mermaid-like person — sub squid limbs for a fishtail. Subsequent to washing aground, he is found by workers of Gill’s Parlor, who take him back to their divey eatery where his other-worldly voice is the main thing remaining among him and the cleaving block — in a real sense.

Rocancourt has one line (“Could I at any point contact your tail?”) in the Aube Perrie-coordinated video, which is promptly met with an arm slap from Styles. And keeping in mind that his appearance is short — around two seconds in length to be definite — it immediately turned into a fan-most loved second.

“I was most certainly directing the credulous individual at the bar who doesn’t know limits and is most certainly marginally inebriated,” the 25-year-old entertainer told Individuals.

“It’s only one out of every odd day you request that someone contact their tail,” he proceeded. “It’s likewise only one out of every odd day you see somebody with a tail.”

Rocancourt added that Styles’ prosthetic limbs were staggeringly life-like. “All things considered, I got slapped by a squid,” he said.

The New York City-based entertainer originally conveyed his line around 10 minutes before Styles needed to leave the set for the afternoon, and he said that he was “dazzled by how proficient and warm” the Don’t Stress Sweetheart entertainer was, particularly given that he had been “twirling around for a really long time.”

“He made a special effort to say ‘greetings’ to numerous individuals on set and consistently with a grin,” the entertainer said of Styles. “I respect that about him.”

While the entertainers’ connection just endured one take, Rocancourt said his line a couple more times and took many limbs to the face before the ideal smack was accomplished.

At the point when asked how often he was slapped, the entertainer said, “Altogether, something like multiple times.” “Also, I would rehash it,” he added.

Rocancourt, who featured in his most memorable music video — Tinie Tempah’s “Written in the Stars” — 10 years prior, is no more unusual to sets, yet depicted this one as especially “warm.”

“It was astonishing to work with everybody on that set,” he said. “I don’t have a solitary grumbling.”

The entertainer added that he was intrigued by Styles’ disposition as well as his voice, referring to him as “unquestionably skilled and such a certified person.”

“It was simply astounding to see him sing face to face,” he said. “I was promptly amazed by his ability.”

“Harry made a special effort to be like, ‘Hello, man, how’s it going? Good to meet you. What’s your name?’” he said, adding that the “As It Was” artist recollected his name after they wrapped their scene together. “Him recollecting my name and making a special effort to say ‘thank you’ and ‘hi’ in any case felt so certifiable,” he said.

Featuring in this video was a particularly “round trip” second for Rocancourt on the grounds that, as a senior in secondary school, he spruced up as One Bearing, Styles’ previous teen pop band cut specialty, with his companions for Halloween. (Despite the fact that he filled the shoes of part Zayn Malik, not a youthful Styles.)

And keeping in mind that Styles didn’t entirely Rocancourt — the phony limb and film sorcery just make it seem as though he did — the entertainers traded a fast clench hand knock subsequent to shooting when they “ended up running into each other once again.”

“I was like, ‘Goodness, similar to, this is strange,’” Rocancourt said, reviewing the occasion. “‘This is astounding, and I can hardly trust that this will emerge.’”
