Few stars have had as many reincarnations as Harry Styles.
The singer began his career as a teenage heartthrob in the group One Direction.
His debut solo album, called simply “Harry Styles,” was released in 2017.
Since then, Styles has proven himself to be one of the most exciting young artists around.
His second album, “Fine Line,” earned him three Grammy nominations and one win in 2020.
And in 2021, Styles wasreportedto be starring in another film called “My Policeman” (viaDeadline).
It seems this artist has no plans for slowing things down any time soon.
In fact, we can’t wait to see what he ends up doing next.
Curious to find out more about his journey?
Here is the stunning transformation of Harry Styles.
His mother was always a big influence on the children.
As Gemma toldVogue, “My mum loved to dress us up.
I always hated it, and Harry was always quite into it.”
Harry added, “As a kid I definitely liked fancy dress.”
In addition to dressing up at home, Harry also became interested in style in children’s plays.
When he played a mouse, he got to wear tights for the first time.
“And that was maybe where it all kicked off!”
he said, referring to his love of androgynous fashion.
She recalled that, as a kid, Harry was “never scared of attracting attention …
Even then he had that sort of magnetism that made people just want to watch him.”
It sounds like Harry showed signs of being destined for stardom even as a toddler.
When Harry was just 7 years old, his father left.
“Everybody was in tears.”
He went on to explain that Harry didn’t cry much as a child.
However, the news of his parents' divorce was clearly heartbreaking.
Des went on to explain that he’s still in touch with Harry and he still gives him advice.
Harry’s mother later remarried, and his stepfather, John Cox, became a second father to him.
As Cox told theMirror, he was around for Harry’s first-ever singing performance when he was just 9.
However, Cox and Harry’s mother split after six years and Cox and Harry fell out of touch.
It’s pretty clear that his mum became his rock as a child.
As the star explained in an interview withRolling Stone, his love of music stems from his grandparents.
“He used to do quite a good sort of Elvis warble,” she said.
It’s clear that Harry’s grandfather’s influence had a big impact on him.
And when his grandfather got Parkinson’s disease, he became an excellent caretaker.
As Styles' mother told theExpress, he was “absolutely brilliant.”
As a child, he had dreams of becoming a physiotherapist.
As he once said in an interview, “I wanted to be a physiotherapist.
In another interview, he added that he had also considered becoming a florist.
As a teen, Styles and his friends were in a band called White Eskimo.
According to theManchester Evening News, the band played punk-pop music and Styles was their lead singer.
“We have asked him.
I last spoke to him a year ago.
He doesn’t see me anymore.”
As Styles told theRolling Stone, he still remembers his time with White Eskimo.
“We wrote a couple of songs.
One was called ‘Gone In A Week’ and was about luggage,” he said.
At the time, Styles expressed his enthusiasm for the competition.
Luckily, Styles was chosen to go through, and the rest is history.
They formed a new boy band called One Direction.
In fact, the band became one of the most popular musical acts of its time.
They even racked up six Guinness World Records before they broke up in 2016.
As Styles toldVogue, he has no regrets about being in the band.
“I loved my time in it,” he gushed.
“It was all new to me, and I was trying to learn as much as I could.
I wanted to soak it in.
I think that’s probably why I like traveling now soaking stuff up.”
When Styles was just 18 years old, he bought his own house in London.
As he told Vogue, when he finally moved into his home, he cried.
“Because I just felt like Ihadsomewhere,” he added.
The pair got together in 2012 just as One Direction was blowing up around the world.
He added, “I’m lucky if everything [we went] through helped create those songs.”
“I think it’s, like, flattering,” he shared.
So they’re good songs.”
For Styles, a solo album felt like the natural career progression at the time.
In fact, he’d been writing and recording his own music while still in the band.
In another interview withUSA Today, Styles said that this first album was all about musical experimentation.
As he toldVogue, the transition was inspired by his vegan band members.
“My body definitely feels better for it,” he revealed.
Apparently, Brussels sprouts are one of his favorite foods.
“I think sprouts is gonna be like the new kale,” he joked.
And in another interview withNPRin 2020, Styles once again spoke about his diet.
For Styles, acting is a passion.
And, as the singer toldAnother Man, acting was actually something he’d been passionate about for years.
“I did acting at school,” he recalled.
It seems that Styles has a real talent.
His daring, controversial outfits defy gender stereotypes and almost always become a talking point.
I don’t think people are still looking for this gender differentiation."
In May of 2019, Styles co-hosted the Met Gala in a blouse and a pearl earring.
As he later toldThe Guardian, “What women wear.
For me it’s not a question of that.
If I see a nice shirt and get told, ‘But it’s for ladies.’
I think: ‘Okaaaay?
Doesn’t make me want to wear it less though.'”
As Styles explained toDazed & Confused, the brand began when Styles was inspired during lockdown.
Ultimately, Styles explained, the brand is a gift for his fans.
“Pleasing is really for them,” he said.
“That feeling of community is kind of what we would like Pleasing to (reflect).”
As he toldNPR, he’d changed a lot as an artist since making his first album.
For one thing, Styles had stopped caring so much about what other people thought.
“Those are the moments that kind of mean the most because it’s real,” he continued.
Styles also revealed how this second album had taken a lot of inspiration from 1970s musical styles.
“There’s a freedom in the music that is so inspiring,” he added.
“If you go back and listen to so much of that music … they sound so fresh.”
As he explained toVogue, meditation has become an important practice for him.
“It changed my life,” he said simply.
“Meditation brings a stillness that has been really beneficial, I think, for my mental health.”
In an interview withZane Lowe, Styles also said he resisted going to therapy for a while.
Since starting therapy, he hasn’t looked back.
One of his biggest influences is the writer Alain de Botton.
But Styles has since learned that “being in a real relationship with someone is a skill.”
For Harry Styles, this meant taking a hiatus from his typically fast-paced routine.
In an interview with 1Xtra radio, Styles opened up about how his life changed.
He explained that he spent his time with friends in a “little safe self-isolation pod.”
Styles also shared that he’d used the time off to pick up a few new things.
“We have nothing but time.
I was learning Italian, and I was doing some sign language classes.”
Wow, we’re impressed!
Of course, Styles had to get back to work pretty quickly.
Previously, he had only appeared in “Dunkirk” in a small role.
“There were always two sides of the character to play with.
“They were affectionate around their friends, held hands, and looked very happy.
They have dated for a few weeks,” a source toldPeopleat the time.
A few months later, the two were seen kissing on vacation in Italy (viaPage Six).
Throughout their relationship, Styles has chosen to keep details private.
Wilde did the same.
“We both go out of our way to protect our relationship,” she toldVariety.
“I think it’s out of experience, but also just out of deep love.”
For Styles, the role was a chance to explore the complexities of love and sexuality.
“It’s not like, ‘This is a gay story about these guys being gay.’
It’s about love and about wasted time to me.”
Of course, for Styles, filming these intimate scenes was a new experience.
Luckily, he felt comfortable on set.
“Above anything that’s happening … we’re doing this together, and we trust each other.
… we can stop whenever, and all that kind of stuff.
I’d never done that before on camera, at least,” he toldCapital FM.
In 2021, he appeared briefly in “The Eternals” as Eros.
As the director Chloe Zhao toldEmpire, Eros is set to be a huge character in future Marvel movies.
“It’d be funny if that was it, wouldn’t it?”
he joked toRolling Stone.
It sounds like we can look forward to seeing more of Styles in the MCU soon.
The album quickly broke records, becoming 2022’s fastest-selling album and reaching No.
1 in several countries (viaNME).
“You realize that when you stop for a minute.”
Out of the experience came the Harry’s House album.
As Styles went on to explain, he felt relatively calm prior to its release.
As a musician, it’s clear that Styles has come a long way.
