Harry Styles is known for going against traditional gender roles. His clothing is often androgynous and his music is, at times, very sensitive and feminine. That doesn't mean he can't enjoy a traditionally masculine activity.
Styles is a pretty big fan of sports. Specifically, he's a big fan of the Green Bay Packers. Styles recently opened up about his Packers fandom and his Packers tattoo.
During an NPR interview slated to be published on March 16, 2020, Styles was asked why he likes the Packers so much. His answer was jocular. Styles said when he was a child, he fell off his bike and started to bleed. He then noticed he bled green and gold – the Packers' signature colors.
Styles was obviously kidding, but he got a little more serious later and explained his interest in the team. He said Packers games were the first NFL games he watched. This experience instilled a love of the team in him. He also said he's a big fan of cheese, so the Packers were the team for him. After all, Green Bay is an epicenter of cheese production.
Harry Styles' flawed Green Bay Packers tattooHe also explained his Packers tattoo. He said he discussed the team with a friend in 2012 or 2013. They both said they would get Packers tattoos if the team won an upcoming game.
Styles was sure the Packers would win the game. So sure, in fact, he decided to get the tattoo before they played the game. The Packers lost, but Styles still has the tattoo. Styles' decision to keep the tattoo shows a deep commitment to the team – or at least an aversion to tattoo removal.
Styles noted there are issues with his tattoo. The colors are wrong. His tattoo is black and white, which makes it look more like the logo for the University of George rather than the Packers logo.
The ultimate celebrity Green Bay Packers fan?
This isn't the first time Styles made it known he's a Packers fan. In 2016, he performed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There he put on a cheesehead hat – a major Packers tradition. He waved a Packers flag. He responded to fans who booed a Chicago Bears fan by saying "I can't tell you how good it is to be around people who understand what a good football team is."
Styles has had the opportunity to hang out with Donald Driver, a noted Packers player. That's an opportunity many Packers fans wish he had. Styles also has a lot of Packers merchandise, including an apron, shirts, a cheesehead, a helmet, and a blanket. That's quite the collection!
Styles is one of numerous celebrity Packers fans. Others are Lil Wayne, Ellen DeGeneres, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Renolds. Who knew they all had that in common!
