Someone actually asked Harry Styles about hoax claims he had sex with Obama
Harry Styles has responded to the hoaxĀ claim that he is in a secret relationship with US President Barack Obama.
Supermarket tabloid The National ExaminerĀ claimed recently that the 53-year-old President’s marriage to Michelle is a sham, and that he is having an affair with a man.
The magazine’s coverĀ reads: “Obama Hid Gay Life Style To Be President!”, “Marriage to Michelle IS A SHAM!” and “He had sex with THIS MAN” –Ā with an arrow pointing to a picture of Ā an unidentified man.
Several photoshopped images circulating across the internet featured One Direction star Harry Styles in his place ā but the One Direction star was not present in the actual edition.
Incredibly, a journalist actually asked One Direction about the rumour at the BBC Music Awards.
Harry Styles said: “I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about.”
After it was explained to him, he said: “I heard some good ones in my time. That’s interesting.
“Were you asking me to confirm, or deny?Ā I feel like [bandmate] Niall would be a bit jealous, though, he loves Obama.”
Fellow singer Liam Payne added: “Wow, it’s all getting a bit political!”
Bandmate Louis Tomlinson askedĀ : “So, does that give you some power in the White House then?”
Styles responded: “Yeah, maybe.”
