Okay, we’re going, to be honest with you right from the off. Here at Events Hospitality, we are probably not the target audience for bottomless facts about Harry Styles. Our Harry Styles trivia was close to zero. We can’t claim to have followed his musical career from the early days of One Direction, nor could we tell you whether he has a famous girlfriend, when he was born, which magazines he has been on the cover of or what movie he has starred in.
Well, we couldn’t until we started work on this article – now we are his biggest fans!
We have prepared some Harry Styles facts for you, so that you can get to know him like we know him – as the music turned movie star, that is recognised by millions all around the world and whose favourite colour is orange. And blue. He has two favourite colours. Because why should Harry Styles be limited to just one favourite colour? He’s Harry Styles.
Anyway, I’m getting carried away. Let’s crack on with some fun Harry facts so that next time you get bamboozled with Harry Styles quiz questions by a teenage girl, you’ll have all the answers.
