Harry Styles recalled his X-Factor and One Direction days
In a 2019 interview with the Guardian, Harry Styles spoke about his golden days. In 2010, on the X-Factor stage, Simon Cowell formed the world's largest boy band ever, One Direction. And while Styles was one of the five boys, he did have a huge female fan following. In 2015, the group announced their everlasting hiatus. But Styles reminisced about those days and what it was like.
Harry Styles was merely 16 years old when he auditioned for the reality show. Styles, who auditioned for the ITV reality competition in 2010, recalled, "The craziest part about the whole X Factor thing is how instant it is. You've never been on television before. Then, all of a sudden, you're a piece of national property. You don't think, 'Oh, maybe I should keep some of my own stuff back for me.' Partly because a 16-year-old who does that looks like a hopped-up little shit. Could you imagine? ' I'm sorry, but I'd rather not comment.' You don't know what to be protective of."
By the winter of 2010, Styles was a fan favorite and a vital member of One Direction, a boy band of five that had massive national exposure and millions of admirers before any music was produced. Every step of their ascension was captured on film. There was no time to practice, test things out, or psychologically prepare in the dark.
Talking about his One Direction days, how he dealt with the sudden fame, and what he thought of the whole thing, Styles said, "We didn't even get to dip a toe in. But, listen, I was a kid, and all I knew was that I no longer had to go to school. I thought it was f**king fantastic. Perhaps it's something I'll have to deal with later. When I'm in my 40s, I wake up and think, Argh!"
