“Sign of the Times” singer Harry Styles appeared on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show” and talked about working with his girlfriend, actor-director Olivia Wilde, on the upcoming film “Don’t Worry Darling,” giving fans some insight into their relationship. “I had a wonderful experience being directed by Olivia. I think there is something that obviously… acting is kind of very uncomfortable at times. I think you have to trust a lot,” he said, per Page Six. “Being able to trust your director is a gift. That was very helpful and it really meant for kind of a really nice experience working on that movie.”
Styles also answered (in a roundabout way) how Wilde features in his song lyrics. Stern, who was asking the questions on everyone’s mind, wanted to know if Styles asks Wilde, “Do you take it to her and say, ‘Listen to this baby. I wrote this about you?'” per E! Online. Styles was less than forthcoming with that direct Q, opting only to say, “When I write songs, they kind of start out just, I guess, mine,” before giving a generic response about using his life as inspiration.
He’s definitely wasn’t as forthcoming about his feelings as he was on May 16 when he told Zane Lowe on the “Apple Music 1” podcast that, when it comes to his One Direction bandmates, there’s “a very deep love for each other.”
