Founder Blog: If I was Olivia Wilde, I Wouldn't Have Gone Near Harry Styles. Here's Why.
Darling, maybe you should worry. As a talented female in her own right, should Olivia Wilde have used a popstar to attract the global spotlight to her work?
When I was 35, I met a 28 year old man on a dating site. Well, I say he was 28. It turns out that, for the proceeding nine months of knowing him he actually told me a little white lie - he was actually only 22. Now, this isn't the moral of the story, but I'm wanting to give some context that I myself have indeed fallen (and actually, quite head over heels) for a younger man.

Sadly, it's not received the greatest of reviews - it's a solid three star film, at best - and yet, is set to break records at the box office this year. I'm afraid to say that this is probably not because of the movie - but rather, the hundreds and thousands of One Direction and HS fans who are eager to see their fantasy boyfriend 'make out' on the big screen.
Now, I am actually a big fan of HS's music (although this last album, whilst catchy, just felt like he was talking in riddles - perhaps he was high whilst making it?). I note also that his brief cameo in 'Dunkirk' was incredibly short - yet strangely, he appeared quite significantly in the promotion of the movie. This was despite only having a couple of lines and not being
