Earlier this week, Grammy-nominated singer and actor Harry Styles and actress Olivia Wilde were spotted chilling on a boat while on vacation in Italy. But instead of focusing on that viral image of him shirtless, people on TikTok are fixated on this one photo that makes it look like Harry is Olivia’s five-year-old child begging to go play in the earth’s pool.
Trust me when I say, when you see it, you won’t be able to un-sea-it.
In one photo which you can see here, Styles is seen standing on what looks like the stern of the boat in a green shirt and black swimmer shorts, looking up at Wilde with his hands to his side. Wilde, who is on the deck, is sitting cross-legged with thick black sunnies on and an open book, looking down at him.
And, to be perfectly frank with you, the juxtaposing angles and the slightly disconcerting look Wilde seems to give off in the photo is giving me major busy mum taking her son on a day out to the beach on her one day off kinda vibes. Well, at least to me and TikTok.
TikToker Evie Baker (@tobesoevie) first brought this comparison to my attention in a video where she reacts to the image and asks: “Why does this grown-ass man look like a child?”
“‘Mummy, I don’t feel good. Mummy, I threw up.’”
And, of course, because it’s TikTok, the comments are just as good. Here are some of the best ones.
“Mummy, can we please swim for five more minutes?”
“Mum, I think I lost my swim goggles.”
“He’s asking for the iPad.”
“Mummy, can you please play mermaid with me?”
And a personal fave:
“Mum, I’m hungry,” supposedly says Harry Styles.
“Harry you ate five minutes ago,” Olivia Wilde supposedly answers back.
Mood, supposedly Harry Styles. Mood.
Speaking with E! News, an eyewitness of the pair said: “They visited Porto Ercole and Argentario where they rented a yacht and cruised the sea. They swam and laid out on the deck making out and holding each other close.
“They drank the local wine and seemed very much in love. They were always very affectionate kissing, hugging, and holding each other at all times.”
Wow, uh, that really makes the comparison of them as a mother and son really awkward, huh?
“They danced on the deck and Harry watched as Olivia dove into the water and went for a swim,” the source continued.
“He helped her out by hand and pulled her in close for another kiss and hug.
“They looked like they were having an amazing vacation and only had eyes for each other. They couldn’t get enough of being together and showing off their love.”
Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have been romantically linked together ever since they were first spotted holding hands in January. Harry Styles is currently filming Don’t Worry Darling!, which is directed by Olivia Wilde.
