Even the biggest pop star in the world is uncomfortable when her private relationships become public.
Harry Styles former teen idol One Direction and current solo superstar, reflected on his highly publicized and dissected private life in a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
In it, he addressed everything from accusations of “queerbaiting” that he’d be benefiting from presenting himself as queer without publicly identifying as queer, to his romantic relationship with Olivia Wilde, who directed Styles in the upcoming film “Don’t Worry Honey.” .
The seemingly spontaneous singer spoke about the arguments people have in an effort to define their sexuality.
“Sometimes people say, ‘You’ve only been publicly with women,’ and I don’t think I’ve been publicly with anyone,” he told Rolling Stone’s Brittany Spanos.
“If someone takes a picture of you with someone, that doesn’t mean you’re choosing to be in a public relationship or anything.”
Styles also hinted at the public’s fascination with his sexuality when discussing his other movie coming out this year, “My Policeman,” in which he plays a closeted gay cop in the 1950s.
“I think everyone, myself included, has their own journey of discovering sexuality and becoming more comfortable with it,” he said of the period drama and its universal themes.
“It’s not like, ‘This is a gay story about these guys being gay.’ It’s about love and wasting time for me.”
Styles has previously resisted when asked in interviews how he identifies, telling “Better Homes & Gardens” earlier this year that “it doesn’t matter” and that expectations of him defining his sexuality are “outdated.”
Some have accused him of cashing in on queer aesthetics — like wearing dresses and skirts or waving Pride flags at concerts — without publicly identifying as LGBTQ.
The “As It Was” singer also said that fans criticizing his girlfriend online “doesn’t make him feel good.”
“I just wanted to sing. I didn’t want to get into it if I was going to hurt people like that.”
Styles’ new movie with Wilde will be released on September 23, and “My Policeman” will stream on Amazon in November.
Both films will premiere at prestigious film festivals ahead of their wide releases.
Currently, Harry Styles continues touring for his latest album, “Harry’s House”, with tours in New York, Chicago and Austin, Texas.
