If hell exists, Harrison is sure it’s full of heart shaped chocolates and badly acted Hallmark movies on repeat. With a soundtrack full of whatever pop star is flavour of the month.

Oh, and do it with Hayley Bennett, the sexy, smart Brit who wears her heart on her sleeve and takes joy out of arguing with him. Whatever. It’ll be fine.
