Harris DickinsonHarris Dickinson appears to have indicated which co-star he was talking about when he claimed a veteran actor once “humiliated” him on set in front of the rest of their cast and crew.
Back in 2023, the British actor gave an interview to The Times, in which he admitted to having a “chip on my shoulder” in the early years of his career because of his background.
“I felt like nobody came from where I came from,” he claimed, before recalling “an experience of an older actor on set”.
Harris said: “I won’t say who it is and I really want to, because he’s a wanker. But we did a film and he was old school, middle to upper class, had done the rounds, TV, theatre. He wanted to play a game. The idea was that he would embody someone in the room and people would ask questions to try and work out who it was.”
As the game went on, the undisclosed actor was asked “what food are you?”, to which he responded “fish and chips”. To the question “what TV show are you?”, the answer was apparently “Love Island”.
“He humiliated me in front of all of these other actors and it’s difficult for that not to affect you, especially if you’re young,” Harris noted.
During a follow-up interview with the same outlet published over the weekend, The Times’ same reporter brought up Harris’ past comments, and the fact that they led to a guessing game in the comments.
When Harris implored the reporter in question to offer up some of the names, he was quick to shoot down the suggestion it was Ralph Fiennes, insisting: “Ralph’s a sweetheart.”
However, when Robert Lindsay was named as a suggestion, the Triangle Of Sadness actor responded: “Fuck! I’ve been caught.”

HuffPost UK has contacted Robert Lindsay’s team for comment.
The two performers acted alongside each other in the 2019 Maleficent sequel Mistress Of Evil, in which Angelina Jolie played the iconic Disney villain and Elle Fanning portrayed Princess Aurora.
Harris took over the role of Prince Philip from Brenton Thwaites, while Robert played his on-screen dad King John.
