He seems to have gained massive popularity and no bad word said against him.

What’s the allure?

I personally don’t get it.. he’s definitely not my type.

I guess he's tapped into the zeitgeist. He is charming, inclusive and flamboyant. Plus isn't involved in any sleaze or scandal. People like that.

Lapland123 · 21/10/2022 11:30

Pretty good songs

JohnsShirt · 21/10/2022 11:34

He's amazing, I love him, but it's not a new thing from me anyway, I've been a fan since the beginning!
(You know me BTW, I'm, obviously the huge Harry fan!)

jonesy1999 · 21/10/2022 11:37

I'm old enough to be his mother and generally have no interest in pop culture / lads of his age etc.

However, having seen him being interviewed etc he does very much have a certain je ne sais qua about him. He is very charming and very likeable. Seems very much his own man too and very comfortable in his own skin. Looks like he would be good company.

I wondered if you would spot this Grin

His songs are brilliant.

I know he is going out with an older woman (she's younger than me!) but I don't understand why he is looking so old recently. Its like he is deliberately trying to look older - why would you do that?

ChocFrog · 21/10/2022 11:46

He’s recently starred in a good movie and the PR department there will have worked really hard promoting him in social media chat rooms etc.

Plus a couple of his songs are really good. I ignored him til I heard As It Was but that’s so haunting and catchy.

To get away from the toy boy marriage-wrecker image lol

thedevilinablackdress · 21/10/2022 11:49

His PR team are in overdrive, marketing him to bits.
He's charming, twinkly-eyed and likes older women 😉
He can sing and dance and wears non-boring clothes.

Really?
I don't see the looking older thing.
He looks 28 to me.

Well, I accompanied my Harry-mad 13 yr old to one of his concerts recently expecting to have a v boring time, and my god, he was outstanding! I'm converted!
I love him. That's all. Blush

Soubriquet · 21/10/2022 11:54

Glad to see he had a constant fan base. Definitely not something I could be converted to though

Get out now you heathen!!

MistressOfNun · 21/10/2022 11:57

He gives me the creeps.

Whereisthehugeteddybear · 21/10/2022 11:57

I've been brainwashed by my 16 year old DD!😂 I'm not fussed about seeing the films but I'm going to his concert next year. DD bought tickets and then later they added an extra date and she upgraded so I'm going with a friend (I'm in my mid 40s, friend is in her 50s)

Fifiellz · 21/10/2022 11:57

Harry Styles wasn't on my radar until I saw the As it Was video and Coachella.

Now I have a middle aged woman crush on him.

He seems to be able to do serious and charismatic, beautiful, or cute smiley and endearing with any given facial expression.

I'm not sure if I want to take his clothes off or tuck him into bed with his hot water bottle

I've converted my 65yr old upstairs neighbour, and my friend has converted her husband!

Oh wow are you in for a treat! Grin

BamBamBilla · 21/10/2022 11:59

His music is middle of the road avergae-ness but he has that flamboyant personality that encourages people to be themselves, have fun and be nice to each other.

I've not seen his films but his PR company are doing their best for work him.

AuntieMarys · 21/10/2022 12:01

I'm in my 60s and going to see him next year.

He is amazing live, I've seen him several times solo and with 1D, going again three times next year.

Yes that is exactly the look I was thinking of when I said how old he was looking - I think 28 is peak youth ( all glowing skin and health).

ChristmasAtHogwarts · 21/10/2022 12:05

He’s hot AF. I’m 34. :D

You probably keep him in business single handedly

In fact you’ve probably paid enough for him to be a prisoner in your basement
