One Direction’s Harry Styles is known to be passionate about his career. Styles is generally working while everyone else is playing. He usually seems like a real workaholic, but hard working Harry has finally taken a week off and had some fun apparently.

One Direction’s Harry Styles has seemingly sequestered himself away since the beginning of the year, at least after a short holiday on a yacht with Kendall Jenner. It would be Labor Day before Styles saw Miss Jenner again.

When One Direction called a hiatus, Harry Styles just bought a piano and a few groceries. By all appearances, he seemed to have locked himself away behind closed doors to figure out his new solo career. Before long he had an $80 million, three album contract and a role in a major motion picture.

While Niall Horan went backpacking in East Asia, and then played a lot of golf, Harry Styles was building his career and lining up work for himself. Lewis Tomlinson’s ex-girlfriend had a baby, and Liam Payne found love with Cheryl, but Harry was on a WWII battleship, making the movie Dunkirk directed by filmmaking phenomenon Christopher Nolan.

One Direction’s Harry Styles started a bidding war between Sony, Capital Records, and Columbia and ended up with top dollar for his three album deal. Then, Styles turned what would have been a bit part in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk into a much larger role, simply because his acting was great.

One Direction’s Harry Styles has “a gift” for acting, according to veteran actor Mark Rylance, who said Harry didn’t need any coaching and delivered his lines perfectly. Rylance was quoted by MTV extolling Styles’ personality as well as his acting.

“What’s really surprised me is he’s really witty, really funny – he really makes me laugh. He’s been ever so brave, not making any fuss. He seems remarkable… one of those people who has – Sean Penn has it too – a kind of panache. I look at them and think, ‘How did you get that? How do you get so that life is easy?’ But he has got a lovely, lovely character. It’s a gift.”

Harry Styles also spent a lot of time collaborating, consulting and making connections for his music career. He met with Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Mick Jagger, Elton John and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, just to mention a few.

Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner finally got together for a three-day Labor Day weekend break. The young couple were so obviously attracted to each other that witnesses swore they were in love, but Harry again disappeared into his work, this time into a recording studio.

One Direction’s Harry Styles also did that amazing photo shoot and interview spread for Another Man. It was more than just a magazine photo op. It was a statement that made Styles’ place in the music world very plain. Harry is now a rock star, not a boy band star.

One Direction’s Harry Styles managed his publicity like a pro. Styles stayed in except when he wanted to be seen. Styles was careful to make all the right impressions, and see all the right people.

Harry Styles is if nothing else a great businessman and publicist. Harry has been handling his career just right. Styles has not been seen except when he wants to be. That’s not to say Harry has not been making selfies with fans as usual, but he hasn’t been out in public very much for that to happen, and then suddenly he’s dating and going out more.

So what is One Direction’s Harry Styles up to now. He’s making a very different statement, or perhaps he just decided to relax a bit. Styles attended Kendall Jenner’s birthday party. The confusing report gets out that Kendall’s three boyfriends were at the party. Harry is just one of three suitors.

Harry Styles reportedly wanted to be the first to see Kendall Jenner on her actual Birthday according to Blasting News. The next morning, on November 3, Harry Styles reportedly appeared at Kendall’s door with a birthday gift. How sweet, but the real news came three days later, over the weekend.

Harry Styles has been photographed allegedly at Meghan Trainor’s birthday party with model and actress Suki Waterhouse on Sunday, November 6. There are photos of Harry kissing and dancing with his old flame Suki, according to Unreality TV. There are not only rumors but some photographic evidence on Twitter, that Harry had love bites on his neck. While this all seems out of character for Styles, at least he’s finally having a good time apparently, but why now?

Was Harry Styles put off that Kendall Jenner had the other men she dates at her birthday party? Did he plan to spend Sunday with Suki Waterhouse all along, or was it a chance meeting? Has Styles been having a relationship with Suki since 2013 and kept it secret? No one knows.

Harry Styles being seen with two different girls in one week seems strangely out of character for him. Is he seriously interested in Suki Waterhouse, Kendall Jenner or neither one of them?

Maybe Harry Styles just finished his first solo album and is celebrating? That would seem very logical since he’s been working on the album for quite some time and reportedly making fantastic progress. The album has a 2017 release date, but it could be that the creative process is over, and all that amazing music is just waiting to be released at a more strategic time than the end of the year.

Harry Styles and One Direction’s other lads, Niall Horan and Liam Payne all have albums coming out in 2017. Dunkirk will also be released on July 21, 2017.

Zayn Malik has been working on a second solo album as well, so Directioners will have a lot of music to listen to next year, as well as a movie to see.

One Direction’s Harry Styles saw two girls this week, so is he making a statement, celebrating, or just having a little fun for a change?
