    AceShowbiz –
    Liam Payne has congratulated his “brother” Harry Styles on his Grammy win.

    The singer sent One Direction fans into a frenzy after he gushed about how “proud” he is of his bandmate for taking home his first-ever Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar” at Sunday’s (14Mar21) ceremony.

    “Congrats @hshq on your Grammy win. What a huge moment, proud to be your brother,” he captioned a meme about the boy band on his Instagram Story, leading to “proud to be your brother” trending on Twitter.

    Harry – whose bandmates also include Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – is the first 1D star to be both nominated and to receive a Grammy.

    Accepting the award, Harry said, “Wow. To everyone who made this record with me, thank you so much. This was the first song we wrote after my first album came out, during a day off in Nashville and I want to say thanks to Tom, Tyler, and Mitch. Rob Stringer and everyone at Columbia, my manager Jeffrey who has always nudged me to be better and never pushed me, thank you so much, I feel very, very grateful to be here.”

    His speech was then bleeped out as he praised his fellow nominees; Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Taylor Swift.

    “All of these songs are f**king massive so thank you so much. I feel very honoured to be here among you, so thank you so much,” he said.

    Harry’s Grammy success came after former One Direction band member, Zayn Malik – who quit the “What Makes You Beautiful” group in 2015 to pursue a solo career – blasted The Recording Academy and accused them of having “secret committees.”

    He tweeted, “@recordingacad are moving in inches and we need to move in miles. I’m keeping the pressure on & fighting for transparency & inclusion. We need to make sure we are honouring and celebrating ‘creative excellence’ of ALL. End the secret committees. Until then … #f**kthegrammys (sic).”

    WENN/Instar

    When admitting that he has since learned to take a more laid back approach, the One Direction member claims to have found confidence as solo artist because of fans’ warm welcome.

    Feb 22, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Pop star Harry Styles has learned not to try too hard when he’s in the recording studio, because it often results in his “worst music”.
    The “Fine Line” hitmaker has learned to take a more laid back approach to creating new material in order to showcase his most authentic self.
    He said, “I have always made my worst music when I’m trying the hardest and when it feels a little bit too easy and feels a bit safe and it’s just like, ‘Oh yeah, this is what people want’. I try to write music as a fan of music. I just don’t really know how else to do it, I guess.”
    “Ultimately, everyone who works in music are just fans. Like, I’m just a fan of music and get to make some, so I try to make it from that perspective.”

    Harry finally felt confidence as a solo artist when he was given a warm welcome by fans at his post-One Direction shows.
    Speaking on SiriusXM, he added, “The confidence came after feeling accepted by the crowds. When I went out to do shows on my own, I was amazed people were coming to see me.”
    His music career aside, Harry recently made headlines for his relationship with Olivia Wilde. The “Don’t Worry Darling” co-stars first sparked romance rumors when they were filmed attending his manager Jeffrey Azoff’s wedding together over the weekend. In the clip published by Page Six, the pair walked and held hands at the venue which took place at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California.
    Prior to dating Harry, Olivia was engaged to comedian Jason Sudeikis, whom she shares two children with, for seven years. As for Harry, the musician was last linked romantically to several names including Camille Rowe, Taylor Swift and British presenter Caroline Flack.

    A representative for film studio New Line has confirmed that production has been shut down after a crew member of the Olivia Wilde-directed film tested positive for the coronavirus.

    Nov 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine have all been forced into isolation after a positive Covid-19 test on the set of their new movie “Don’t Worry, Darling”.
    The “Golden” singer was shooting the film in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 4 when a member of the production tested positive for the coronavirus. According to Deadline, a representative for film studio New Line confirmed the report and stated that they’d shut down as soon as they’d found out about the positive test.
    The outlet added that the studio wouldn’t reveal who had tested positive, but a source told Deadline that it wasn’t “a member of the principal cast but someone who was in close enough proximity to them that the shut down was deemed necessary to find out if anyone else on the production has been exposed”.

    No one else has tested positive at this point, but work on the film will halt for around 14 days, with everyone who worked on the movie placed into immediate isolation as per Los Angeles’ Covid-19 guidelines.
    Production is expected to resume as soon as the quarantine period ends.
    Harry’s role in “Don’t Worry, Darling” comes on the back of his starring in the critically-acclaimed “Dunkirk”. “Don’t Worry, Darling” tells the story of an unhappy housewife, played by Florence, who questions her sanity when strange things start happening. Harry stars as her husband who’s “hiding a dark secret”, while Chris plays the leader of a nearby cult-like worksite.
    Olivia Wilde is directing and also rewrote the Carey and Shane Van Dyke-penned script alongside her “Booksmart” partner Katie Silberman.

    Not only offering fans picturesque views of the coast, but the One Direction member is also serving looks in the visuals. From a bulky white long-sleeved shirt to a light blue suit jacket over a button-down and checkered pants, he successfully melts fans’ hearts with his fashion game.
    Besides “Golden”, “Fine Line” includes other hits such as “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You”. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 and became his second chart-topping album in the United States, in addition to receiving generally positive reviews from music critics. Speaking of the album during an interview with Zane Lowe, he said he wanted to be more fun and adventurous with the project.
    “When I listen to the first album now, I can hear all of the places where I feel like I was playing it safe, because I just didn’t want to get it wrong,” he said at the time. “But I guess a big part of going into this album was I spent a lot of time thinking about the whole process of, you make an album, and then you put it out… and then you tour it. I kind of went into the second one feeling like I want to work out how to make all of this feel really fun.”

  • Harry Styles Among Final Two Candidates for New James Bond

    WENN

    The ‘Watermelon Sugar’ hitmaker is reportedly one of the two actors seriously considered to replace Daniel Craig as a new 007 agent after the release of ‘No Time to Die’.
    Oct 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Harry Styles has reportedly met with James Bond bosses to discuss taking over the iconic role.
    Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007, “No Time to Die”, is now scheduled for release on 2 April 2021, after multiple delays amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. However, that’s not stopping bosses looking to the future of the franchise.
    Sources tell British tabloid The Sun the singer, 26, has met with film bosses about replacing Craig as 007 after betting was suspended on Tom Hardy playing the secret service agent.
    “Harry is deadly serious. He has had a series of high-level meetings about becoming 007. Harry believes he is the final two,” the insider says. “Harry is a new age British man… he’s confident in his own skin and making him Bond would signal the franchise changing with the times.”

    WENN has reached out to representatives for the former One Direction star for comment.
    Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (“Beasts of No Nation”), the new movie is supported by the likes of Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear, and Ralph Fiennes.
    The movie was originally set for May release before it’s pushed back to November 12 due to pandemic. While many films turned to streaming services because of the worldwide health crisis, producers are determined to launch “No Time to Die” in theaters, just like Christopher Nolan’s big-budgeted “Tenet”.
    “If it has to wait till next year then so be it,” said a source close to the production. “There are hundreds of millions of dollars involved here. Release it when audiences feel safe to return. But it’s a nerve-racking call.”
