Harry Styles still gets starstruck when he meets other celebrities.
The One Direction singer is in one of the biggest bands in the world, but he still has to "take a step back" whenever he comes face to face with his heroes.
Speaking at an event for cancer-care charity Trekstock, he said: "There are always times when you meet someone or talk to someone and you take a step back and think, ‘This is the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me.’ "
Despite the group’s global fame – which has been compared to the fanatical following of The Beatles in their heyday – the ‘Story of My Life’ hitmaker has previously admitted they aren’t on the same level "in terms of music".
He insisted: "We all sat and watched the film of [The Beatles] arriving in America. And, to be honest, that really was like us.
"Stepping off the plane, the girls, the madness. It was exactly the same as when we got there – just 50 years earlier.
"But none of us think we’re in the same league as them music-wise. We’d be total fools if we did. Fame-wise, it’s probably even bigger, but we don’t stand anywhere near them in terms of music."
