In the year 2020, Harry Styles , the 29-year-old British superstar, once found himself unexpectedly embracing the role of a fish feeder. This touching and bizarre story will live on in the memory of Theadora, then 13-year-old fan who, despite being absent, received an unforgettable birthday surprise.
According to an E! News article from October 2020, the tale began with the unpredictable nature of fate, when Styles’ car broke down on the street where Theadora’s father lives. Little did Theadora know that her home was about to be the setting for an unexpected visit from the global icon.
Styles was generously offered refuge by Theadora’s father’s friend, who provided him with a cup of tea while he waited for help. During this unexpected trip, Styles decided to do something kind for his fan. Unfortunately, Theadora did not get to meet her idol but, Styles left behind more than just his signature.
He lamented the missed connection in a handwritten note addressed to Theadora, expressing his excitement for a future meeting. He wrote, “Your dad’s friend kindly let me wait at your house with a cup of tea. I’m devastated that we missed each other. Looking forward to meeting you soon. Treat people with kindness.”
The surprises didn’t stop there. Styles revealed in the note, with a charming quirkiness, that he had taken it upon himself to feed Theadora’s pet fish. “PS: I fed the fish,” he stated. Photos quickly went viral on Twitter, showing the pop sensation carefully sprinkling fish food into a tank in Theadora’s bedroom. Theodora revealed on Twitter that the fish was actually named Harry.
