And Bailey has nailed the look - right down to the Little Things.

This series of photos, taken by his mother, shows him posing in the classic Styles style, rocking the skinny jeans and jacket combo with sunglasses to complete the look.

Add in his long hair and sullen stare, and it's not hard to see why people regularly confuse the lad for the pop icon.

However, Bailey never even noticed the likeness until last year, when he started growing his hair out and people started making comments in the street.

He said: "I get stopped quite often now. It's OK out on the streets – no one has asked me for an autograph yet!
"I quite like the attention, although sometimes when I think about it it's shocking. I have lots of people following me in the UK on social media, which I really didn't expect."

And, although he's not a big One Direction fan, Bailey does love music.

He added: "I love writing songs, and I spend a lot of my weekend doing that. I'm also learning to play the guitar."

And Bailey's mother Cristin thinks her son's likeness to the international superstar isn't a bad thing.

She said: "Mostly people have been really nice.

"He gets a lot of attention from girls so I'm sure he loves that.

"I didn't really know who Harry Styles was but I sure do now!"
