exclusive!! ONE DIRECTION
(ai tramslation) It's easy to call One Direction the most popular group in the world. But if you think about it, the only British pop artists who have achieved such global popularity in the last half century are The Beatles and The Spice Girls!

Harry Styles: 2013 Top 5 News
1. âHaylorâ Breakup with Taylor Swift
In November 2012, Harry and Taylor Swift became close, celebrating her 23rd birthday in Harryâs hometown of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. However, their relationship ended abruptly during a New Yearâs vacation in the Caribbeanâs Virgin Gorda. Reasons for the breakup ranged from Taylor being unable to handle Harryâs popularity to Harryâs dissatisfaction with the slow pace of their intimacy. The aftermath highlighted the challenges of high-profile relationships.
2. Harryâs Love Life
After breaking up with Taylor, Harry hasnât had a steady relationship but was linked to several women, including:
⢠His sister Gemmaâs friend
⢠Childhood friend Ellis Calcutt
⢠Ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack
⢠Fan Camilla Foss
⢠Model Millie Brady
⢠Rod Stewartâs daughter Kimberly Stewart
⢠Model Cara Marshall (from the âBest Song Everâ music video)
Harryâs romantic escapades kept the tabloids busy in 2013.
3. Motherâs Remarriage
On June 1, Anne Cox married her long-time partner Robin Twist at a restaurant in Cheshire. Harry served as Robinâs best man alongside Robinâs son, Mike. Wearing matching black suits, Harry gave a speech at the wedding, which he later described as the most nerve-wracking moment of his life. He practiced for days on the couch and reflected, âI think it went pretty well.â
4. Onstage Mishaps
⢠On February 26, during a show in Glasgow, a fan threw a shoe that hit Harry in the groin, causing him to collapse on stage momentarily before recovering.

5. Solo Debut Rumors
In late March, Harry was spotted entering a studio alone, sparking rumors about a solo album. However, it was clarified that all members were working on their third album, and Harry wasnât going solo. In mid-June, a solo song titled âDonât Let Me Goâ was leaked, causing a brief panic among fans. It turned out to be an old song considered but unused for One Directionâs projects.

The Tranquil Townscape of Holmes Chapel, Where Harry Grew Up
From the house Harry lived in, itâs a short walk to:
⢠George & Dragon
⢠Pink Garlic (Indian Restaurant)
⢠Fortune City (Chinese Takeout)
During Taylor Swiftâs brief stay in Holmes Chapel, the two were spotted dining at various restaurants, including George & Dragon and Pink Garlic. Taylor seemed to have spent a few days in the village.
Holmes Chapel: A Tiny Village
Holmes Chapel is a very small village, much smaller than Zaynâs Bradford or Liamâs Wolverhamptonâand even smaller than Niallâs Mullingar.
From the George & Dragon Pub (a highly-rated pub in Cheshire, where the salmon pie I ordered was delicious) to Harryâs old house, itâs just a 10-minute walk. According to the owner of the parking lot across the street, Harryâs parents moved away suddenly one day, likely due to a loss of privacy as fans constantly surrounded the house. The house is still owned by the family but is now rented out.
Harryâs Roots and Local Connections
Harry worked at W. Mandeville Bakery for about two years. This bakery also appeared in the 1D documentary This Is Us. When I entered, the owner, Simon Wakefield, greeted me. Simon shared a few memories despite refusing to discuss Harry publicly after being burned by a gossip magazine.
⢠âHarry was always punctual and very popular with customers,â Simon said.
⢠Harry worked there before The X Factor and continued while the show aired, taking occasional days off for auditions and boot camp. Simon reminisced, âI saw the entire process from start to finish.â
Harry quit when the group debuted, but Simon emphasized how beloved Harry was by everyone.
Fan Hotspots and Local Businesses
Harryâs hometown retains many connections to him:

Despite his fame, Harry remains beloved by the locals. While some see him as a global star, many view him as the same kind and polite boy theyâve always known.

W. Mandeville Bakery
Harry worked at W. Mandeville Bakery for two years, a job he fondly remembers. The bakery also featured in the documentary One Direction: This Is Us. The owner, Simon Wakefield, recounted Harryâs time at the bakery:
⢠âHarry was such a good workerâpunctual, friendly, and adored by customers.â
⢠âEven when he was on The X Factor, he would take time off for auditions and come back to work whenever he could.â
Simon shared how Harryâs journey through The X Factor was exciting for everyone at the bakery. The staff supported him throughout the process, and when he eventually debuted with One Direction, Harry left the job but remained a cherished memory for his coworkers.
Simon added, âHarry is the kind of person who gets along with everyone. He was loved by all of us.â
Despite his positive reflections, Simon admitted to some disappointment when the bakery staff was not invited to the premiere of This Is Us, even though they had appeared in the movie. Nevertheless, Simon emphasized how proud he was of Harry and how his success brought joy to the village.
Cheatams Card Shop
Cheatams, a local card shop, has become a popular destination for One Direction fans. The shop stocks 1D merchandise, including signed photos of Harry and the band. The shop owner revealed:
⢠âWhen One Direction rose to fame, Harry allowed us to print and sell signed photos. They sold out quickly, but he graciously let us keep producing them.â
The shop attracts fans from all over the world, including countries like Indonesia, China, and the U.S. Fans often gather outside the shop, giggling and taking photos, making it clear they are 1D enthusiasts.
The shop owner praised Harryâs impact on the village:
⢠âHarry brought such a positive vibe to this small village. Even now, fans travel here because of him.â
The Old Red Lion Pub
The Old Red Lion Pub is one of Harryâs favorite spots in Holmes Chapel. Since turning 18 (the legal drinking age in the U.K.), Harry has been known to visit the pub with friends during his rare trips home. The pub owner shared:

One such kind guide is the owner of The Old Red Lion Pub, who has shared stories about Harryâs visits since he turned 18 and could legally drink.
Another local resident mentioned how peaceful the village became after Harryâs parents moved away. The fans who used to gather outside their house caused the family to lose their privacy, prompting the decision to relocate. Although the house remains rented out, its connection to Harry continues to draw visitors.
The Positive Impact of Harryâs Success
A resident described Harry as âthe salt of the earth,â emphasizing his politeness and the absence of any trouble linked to him. She noted how Harryâs fame hasnât changed his personality, even though his visits to the village have become rare.
Despite his global success, Harry is still seen by most locals as âtheir Harry,â the kind boy who grew up among them. Some villagers are comfortable seeing him as a superstar, while others prefer to think of him as the same Harry they used to see around town.

Office DIR SONY â Make. Believe
Film Release: One Direction: This Is Us
1D ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US
The movie has officially started its worldwide release!
Highlights of the Movie: The Members Discuss This Is Us
PHOTO BY LARRY BUSACCA/GARNIMICE
(L-R: Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles at the New York premiere of One Direction: This Is Us on August 21, 2013.)
Interviewer: âFirst, let me ask a slightly nerdy question. Since this is a 3D movie, isnât it interesting that you, the five of you, are the only ones who canât see your concert live as an audience? Now, because itâs in 3D, you get to see yourselves just like the audience does. What was that like?â
Liam Payne: âThatâs a very interesting question. After gigs, we often talked among ourselves about what it would be like to watch our own concert from the audience. So being able to see it in 3D was really fun. What do you guys think?â
Harry Styles: âI agree completely.â
Louis Tomlinson: âWhat Liam said is absolutely right.â
Director Morgan Spurlock: âI think 3D makes them look 78% more handsome.â
Interviewer: âThatâs an amazing statistic! If they look 78% more handsome, wouldnât that make it 200% harder for you as the director?â
Morgan Spurlock: âExactly! (laughs)â
Interviewer: âDid your efforts pay off?â
Morgan Spurlock: âAbsolutely. Our cinematographer, Tom Krueger, previously worked on U2 3D (2007), which I thought was the best 3D concert film until now. But he outdid himself with this one. I think itâs one of the best 3D concert films Iâve ever seen.â
The Membersâ Experience Making a Movie
Interviewer: âTo the membersâwhat was it like working on a movie for the first time? Did anyone develop an interest in acting?â
Harry Styles: âMaking a movie was a strange experience. Being constantly followed by a camera felt odd, but at the same time, we didnât feel too conscious about it. The cameras were just there to follow us, and we didnât need to act or do anything special. We just did what we always do. The only annoying part was when someone was in the way while I was trying to leave a room! (laughs)â
Zayn Malik: âAs for acting, I wouldnât say any of us are considering it. This film wasnât about actingâit was just capturing our daily lives. So, no plans to become an actor anytime soon! (laughs)â
Fishing in the Fjords and Celebrating in Norway
Interviewer: âWhy did you decide to go fishing in the Norwegian fjords? How was that experience? Harry, you also witnessed how Norwegians celebrate after finishing 12 years of school. Could you share your thoughts?â
Harry Styles: âIt was amazing. Fishing was a lot of fun. I donât even remember why we chose that spot, but it felt really cool to fish in the middle of the sea with a restaurant nearby. And their celebrations were wildâbut in the best way. You could see they really knew how to let loose and enjoy themselves.â
Zayn Malik: âIt was crazy! (laughs)â
The Global 1D Phenomenon
Interviewer: âThe movie shows One Direction traveling the world. Do you think 1D fans are universally similar in their enthusiasm, or do you notice differences by country? As Iâm from Japan, Iâd love to hear your thoughts on Japanese fans.â
Liam Payne: âWe were all talking about how polite Japanese fans are.â
Louis Tomlinson: âYeah, theyâre very well-mannered, and you can tell they were brought up well. Their parents must have done a great job raising them. And the school system must be amazing too. I could go on and on!â
Harry Styles: âThatâs a tough question. Iâm not a filmmaker, but we wanted this movie to show who we are as individuals. Social media and short interviews can only convey so much, so we made this film to show our personalities and how we interact with each other. Thatâs what we wanted fans to see.â
Zayn Malik: âAs for the question about fans globallyâwhat weâre lucky to have is passionate fans everywhere. Regardless of the country, theyâre all very similar in their enthusiasm.â
Morgan Spurlockâs Thoughts on the Fan Phenomenon
Morgan Spurlock: âWhatâs amazing is that their popularity isnât limited to the U.K. or the U.S. Itâs a global phenomenon. In Mexico City, for example, there were 5,000 fans waiting outside the hotel. This is truly worldwide and only continues to grow. Witnessing it firsthand was incredible.â
On Simon Cowell and the Making of the Movie
Interviewer: âSimon Cowell remains a mentor to the band, as shown in the film. How did you approach making a movie thatâs unique compared to others like Justin Bieberâs or Katy Perryâs films?â
Harry Styles: âThis movie isnât just about us performingâitâs about our personalities, families, and behind-the-scenes moments. Unlike the other films, this is about us as five individuals, so itâs five times better! (laughs)â
Louis Tomlinson: âI totally agree with that!â
Morgan Spurlock: âWhat makes this film different is how close we got to the band and their families. Itâs more intimate than other films, and I think fans will feel that connection.â
How to Convince Non-Fans to Watch the Movie
Interviewer: âWhat would you say to convince someone who isnât a fan to watch this movie?â
Louis Tomlinson: âGood question.â
Niall Horan: âJust come and watch!â
Harry Styles: ââPlease!!!â Thatâs all Iâd say.â
Louis Tomlinson: âAnd weâll throw in some free popcorn!â
Morgan Spurlock: âIf your girlfriend wants to see it, you should take herâbecause thatâs what a good boyfriend does. By the end, youâll probably love the band too.â
Niall Horan: âTell them there are scenes of us playing football. Weâre manly!â
Louis Tomlinson: âAnd there are scenes of Niall drinking beer. Thatâs cool, right?â
Harry Styles: âItâs a guyâs movieâyouâll want to watch it three times!â
Final Thoughts from Morgan Spurlock
Morgan Spurlock: âWhat makes these guys so popular is that theyâre grounded and down-to-earth. They havenât changed at all in three years, and thatâs what fans love about them. This movie shows who they really are, and thatâs why people connect with them.â

1D ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US
Photo Description
August 19, London
At the press conference for the movie One Direction: THIS IS US.
Press Conference Highlights
Liam Payne: âThere are plenty of fan footages in the movie. Fans will probably enjoy seeing themselves on the big screen.â
Louis Tomlinson: âWhat an imaginative question!â
Harry Styles: (Putting his head on the desk) âI donât even understand the question anymore.â
Liam Payne: âMe neither. So, whatâs the question?â
Louis Tomlinson: âWeâd like to think weâre rock ânâ roll, but sadly, weâre not.â
Harry Styles: âBy the way, everyone, have you seen the movie?â
(All answer yes.)
Harry Styles: âWhat did you think? Oh, only one person thought it was good? Thatâs a great start.â
Niall Horan: âMaybe they all thought it wasnât great.â
Harry Styles: âDid you bring notebooks to write notes while watching? Did you get popcorn?â
The Movieâs Appeal
Interviewer: âSugarscape (a celebrity-focused website) is very excited about this movie. What do you think will meet their expectations? Whatâs the best scene for them in the movie?â
Harry Styles: âThe best part of the movie is⌠no, the entire movie is the best part. The whole work is amazing.â
Liam Payne: âHarry, are you okay?â
Niall Horan: âHarry, whatâs going on with you today?â
Harry Styles: âIâm just really excited to be back at work.â
Niall Horan: âMe too.â
Morgan Spurlock (Director): âFor fans, this movie is a chance to go where they normally couldnâtâlike their homes, hotel rooms, tour buses, and even bedrooms. Itâs incredibly intimate and something I think fans will value.â
Possibility of a Sequel
Interviewer: âWith the amount of footage you shot, is there a possibility of a sequel, like THIS IS US 2?â
Liam Payne: âWho knows? For now, weâre just waiting to see how people react to this movie. Making a movie is nerve-wracking, but watching it on the big screen with everyone at the premiere will be amazing. If the response is good, a sequel might be possible.â
Harry Styles: âMaybe we could package the cut scenes into a DVD. Perfect for a Christmas present.â
Morgan Spurlock: âNothing says a father loves his daughter more than giving her a THIS IS US DVD for Christmas.â
Louis Tomlinson: âTesco (a major UK supermarket known for low prices) will probably stock it.â
Niall Horan: âFor ÂŁ11.99. Tesco loves 99-pence pricing.â
Male Fans and Directioners
Interviewer: âThere are a lot of male fans shown in the movie. Do you think the number of male Directioners will increase?â
Niall Horan: âThis year, Iâve noticed more boys at gigs.â
Liam Payne: âEspecially in America.â
Niall Horan: âYeah. Itâs nice to reach a broader⌠whatâs the word? Oh, âdemographic.â I had to look that up in a thesaurus.â
Louis Tomlinson: âBe careful, mate.â
Morgan Spurlock: âNiall, remember Mexico City? It was incredible. About one in eight fans there were male. And itâs not just the dads accompanying their daughtersâthere were groups of guys attending the shows too. I think some guys figured out that if they want to meet lots of girls, a 1D concert is the place to be. (laughs)â
Challenges of Editing
Interviewer: âHow was the editing process?â
Morgan Spurlock: âWe had to condense five peopleâs stories into 60 minutes. There were 28 minutes of concert footage and 62 minutes of behind-the-scenes documentary. Each memberâs story was compressed into about 12 minutes. We focused on their daily lives, struggles, and thoughts on fame, as well as their unchanging bonds with family and each other.â
Emotional Moments
Interviewer: âOne of the most touching scenes is Zaynâs mother in her new home. Was it hard to include that scene?â
Zayn Malik: âIt was a strange scene to shoot because it captured the moment my mom first stepped into her new house. It was an emotional and unforgettable memory. In 10 or 15 years, Iâll look back and appreciate that moment even more.â
Time Apart and Reuniting
Interviewer: âIn the movie, thereâs a scene where you all take a break and spend time apart. How do you feel about those moments away from each other?â
Liam Payne: âWe recently had a short break and just reunited. The funny thing is, when weâre apart, we miss each other, but we still spend our off-time together sometimes.â
Niall Horan: âThe only downside is that we rarely get to go home. When we do, it feels great.â
Louis Tomlinson: âReuniting is always exciting, and we canât wait to share whatâs happened during the break.â
Fan Frenzy and Global Fame
Interviewer: âHow do you handle the extreme enthusiasm of fans, like rumors or wild incidents?â
Liam Payne: âThatâs why we made this movie. Our fans are incredibleâthe best in the world. This film gives them a glimpse into who we really are.â
Louis Tomlinson: âWe try not to focus on the extreme aspects. Itâs better for us that way.â
Reflection on Success
Harry Styles: âThis movie lets us step back and reflect on all the crazy moments. Itâs a way to preserve those memories and appreciate them.â
Thereâs a video of this day too:
