Leave it to Directioners to find ancient footage ofHarry Stylestalking aboutEmily Ratajkowski, filmed several years before theOne Directionstar wasspotted kissing the actress.
But while a clip isnow surfacingwithmany reportingthat Styles, 29, once referred to Ratajkowski, 31, as his “celebrity crush,” reports have been incorrect.
In the clip, filmed during the 2014 promotional run for One Direction’sFouralbum, Styles actually claims that theGone Girlstar was band mateLiam Payne’s celebrity crush at the time.
“I’ve seen her but I haven’t seen the film,” Payne responded. “You know, we’re taking it slow.”
Styles' own answer came at the end of the chatter, when the interviewer turned to him and asked him who his crush was: “You know who I quite fancy —Emily Blunt.”
While the clip continues to surface on social media,the version of itthat fans are picking up is indeed doctored, as it cuts to Styles saying Ratajkowski’s name right after the question is asked.
Ratajkowski has previously spoken about Styles, too. In a 2016 clip fromVanity Fairthat’s also making its rounds once again, the model and actressresponded to a fanwho asked if she and Styles can “f—ing date.”
“I don’t know, I’m not sure I believe in fans setting people up,” she said. “I don’t know if that’s the way to find the best kind of relationship.”
