One Direction’s Harry Styles spoke for him with his distinctive voice and dynamic when he auditioned for musical talent series The X Factor . Even after he failed to make it to the next stage, the judges didn’t let Styles leave the show after seeing his potential and undeniable courage. He and four others formed One Direction, a boy band that took the UK and US by storm with their back-to-back hits. Aside from the fact that Styles is the youngest of the bunch, there’s so much more to know about the talented pop singer. Here are lesser-known facts about Harry Styles.
Harry Styles’ Biography (Age)
He was born Harry Edward Styles on February 1,1994 to his parents; Anne Cox (née Selley) and Desmond “Des” Styles in Redditch, Worcestershire. When he was only seven years old, his parents divorced and his mother remarried Robin Twist, who later passed away in 2017. Despite having parents who worked in corporations, Styles had a different interest from his parents and began to follow his passion at an early age. He covered Elvis Presley songs and sang in the comfort of his own home. Raised in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Styles attended Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School.
In April 2010, he auditioned for the 7th season of The X Factor with the song “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder. After he failed to make the finals, judges Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell paired Harry along with four others in his age group. Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, who also didn’t make it, performed under the name “One Direction” suggested by Harry. All four qualified in the Groups category, advancing to the finals as Simon Cowell’s final act in the competition. They became the most popular competitors in the last segment.
After placing third, the group was signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco Records label. One Direction released their debut single What Makes You Beautiful in September 2011 and in November the group released their debut album Up All Night which was a huge success. The following year they released their second studio album, Take Me Home. A documentary about the band “One Direction: This Is Us”, which portrayed the lives of the members, was released in 2013 and grossed up to $30 million. In the same year the group released their third album “Midnight Memories” and in 2014 their fourth album “Four”. Styles co-wrote the song “A Little Bit of Your Heart”
Relationships – Is he gay?
Considering his delicate looks as well as his subtle styles, Harry is said to be gay on different platforms. Adding to these rumors is the fact that the talented singer has a soft spot for the LGBT community. Harry Styles, who helped a fan come out as gay during a live performance in July 2018, has presented himself as a staunch supporter and advocate for LGBT rights. That’s why rumors are circulating that he might be one of them after all.
However, this cannot be concluded taking into account Stil’s previous relationships with the opposite sex, as well as multiple connections with many girls. Harry Styles was formerly in a relationship with Caroline Flack, The Xtra Factor host. The two had a brief relationship that lasted only a few months (November 2011 to January 2012). Styles began a romantic relationship with singer Taylor Swift in 2012. However, it didn’t last either. He was rumored to have dated reality star Kylie Jenner. This was after they were discovered on a November 2013 date.
Body measurements – height, weight
Harry Styles may not be the greatest, but he sure has a good body to match his style of music. The British-born singer is 176.5 cm tall which equals his weight of 74 kg. He wears a size 11 for his shoes.
