Harry StylesNo Mick JaggerAccording to Mick Jagger, it is.
An interview with The Sunday Times, posted May 22, the legendary Rolling Stones frontman, 78, was asked about the idea that he inspired the 28-year-old pop star, whose style has drawn comparisons to Jagger’s early-’70s look.
“I like Harry — we have an easy relationship,” the veteran rocker told the newspaper. “It’s true, I was a much more ardent wearer of eye makeup than him.”
Jagger added, “Come On, I was much less androgynous.” And he doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can’t help that.”
In 2015, Jagger complimented Styles in an interview with The Mail on Sunday‘s An Event magazine. “He’s got it going on,” Jagger said. He comes to many shows with me, and I know him. Yes, you can definitely see his influence. However, I do not say much to him. I simply tell him that he looks good. He’s a good guy. He is very kind.”
