Celebrities Who’ve Learn, or Written, Fan Fiction About Themselves

We’re guessing you know what fan fiction is, but just in case: fan fiction is fictional writing created by fans, often shared on sites and apps like Wattpad or Archive of Our Own. Most stories revolve around fictional characters from TV shows and movies—or, of course, real-life celebrities.

Then there’s Harry Styles, who might just be the ultimate muse for fan fiction. While he hasn’t admitted to reading any of it himself, one fanfic inspired by the former One Direction star was adapted into a movie franchise called After. The power this man has.

“I don’t know how much … I don’t know,” he said, according to clips shared on TikTok. “I don’t really know. I don’t know if I can confirm. I’m not entirely educated on the origin of the script or anything. … I’ve heard of it, yeah. But I don’t know in terms of … I’m not really sure.”
