Speaking to BuzzFeed UK, Nicholas explained that the character might look similar to the singer at first glance. However, he isn’t a carbon copy by any stretch of the imagination.

“We tried to create a character that felt, you know, maybe akin to Harry in a sense that he’s a younger man dating older women. It was important to create someone who felt new and original and not a sort of shoddy impersonation of this person,” he explained.

The Idea of You premieres on Prime Video on May 2. Nicholas is also starring in a racy historical drama called Mary & George. You’ll want to check out that trailer, too!
