Harry Styles’ mum Anne Twist just gave a rare interview where she gushed about her talented son.
The 56-year-old appeared on the podcast Spinning Plates with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on Monday to chat about what it’s like being the mother of a global music icon.
When asked if she enjoyed watching her son perform, she replied, “for the most part”, before adding, “At some point, I find myself sort of standing there staring at him. I don’t know, is it adulation? I don’t know. I remember him when he was on the stage at school, and I’d be sat there with tears streaming down my face – happy tears – and I’m either laughing or whatever.”
She said she has “always known since he was two or three, that there has been something”, calling Styles a “happy, proper little entertainer” as a youngster.
