Is there anyone British icon Harry Styles isn’t friends with as a forgotten picture of him with Stephen Hawking – yes the Stephen Hawking – reappears?
The throwback picture was shared by fans in utter disbelief as a fresh-faced – and long-haired – Harry grinned at the camera with the most chaotic gathering of celebs we’ve ever seen.
Turns out back in the day, a young curly-haired Harry not only met the famed physicist but apparently got him extremely drunk – on more than one occasion.
The low-quality and utterly context-less picture shows Harry and Hawking plus three other guests, including Richard Bacon and Jemima Khan, in a hotel room or some backstage area.
Using some detective work and Harry’s hair it seems the particular event occurred between 2010 and 2014 – based solely on his very One Direction-coded, side swept locks.
‘One of the times I met him. Was quite good fun,’ tweeted Richard, a presenter and original poster of the snap which was shared in honour of Hawking’s death in 2018.

At the time the picture got little interaction, with one follower named Richard Crowder innocently referred to then relatively unknown Harry and said: ‘Your son is a good looking lad Richard.’
Another follower, James Adams added: ‘That is certainly an eclectic group!’
Since then the iconic picture has been lost to the depths of the internet – until now.
Fans of the As It Was singer rediscovered the snap and are losing their minds over it on social media platform X.
‘Harry has photos with the most random people,’ wrote Rue before adding ‘Like why was he linking up with Stephen Hawking.’
The tweet has almost 290k views as fans couldn’t believe the picture was real, with Babi joking: ‘Stephen Hawking was a directioner.’
