We've all seen this, and variations of, this clip. Usually it's a 10, 20 second cut of this moment which of course, in itself, is very telling.
But the uncut version?
Only those who have been in a situation where you are having to be subtle about your interaction with someone will see the nuance in pretty much every frame.
A few observations; About a third of the way in, you can see Louis flash his eye sideways for a split second to check the camera and Harry's hand in his peripheral vision.
He then starts the 'organic' build up to him moving his arm to meet Harry's hand, flexing his fingers and coughing, with the aim to naturally get his arm in the right position.
Then (not so subtly lol) checks the camera and 'organically' moves his arm to harrys hand- smiling to himself when he's successful.
Finally, Harry gently brushes his upper arm, and softly smiles.
This moment was nearly 15 years ago, but still has me in a fucking chokehold lol.
