One Direction, Harry Styles Says He's Not a 'Sex Symbol'
Despite having millions of adoring fans and being part of one of the most successful boy bands of all time, One Direction's Harry Styles said he does not think of himself as a "sex symbol."
The 19-year-old told Look magazine he does not understand the amount of attention his band receives. He admitted "I don't think I can ever get used to any amount of attention I get," and added, "In no way am I a sex symbol, definitely not."
Styles broke up with singer Taylor Swift in early January and was linked in March to "Megan Fox look-alike" Shaniece Nesbitt. He saw her in the audience during one of his concerts and was reportedly was so interested in the concertgoer that he "immediately told his security men to get her number for him," sources said.
One Direction is currently on their world tour and have a 3D movie in the works. About performing on stage with his bandmates, Styles said, "I'm loving it. The crowds are fantastic and touring is the most fun part. We're all getting on really well and loving the tour."
One Direction's Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Styles and Louis Tomlinson were discovered by Simon Cowell on the U.K.'s The X Factor in 2010. One Direction fans will be able to see the United Kingdom boy band in a new documentary titled This Is Us, a 3D movie set to release Aug. 30. The film's director, Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me), revealed some information about the documentary by saying there have been "more shirtless moments than you can imagine."
