A video of Harry Styles calling Emily Ratajkowski his 'celebrity crush' resurfaces online following his viral make-out session with the model in Tokyo

• A video of Harry Styles saying Emily Ratajkowski was his "celebrity crush" has resurfaced online.
• In a 2014 interview, Styles was asked for his celebrity crush and named the "Gone Girl" star.

The news that Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski might be an item has come as a surprise to fans, but it seems that it was years in the making for the singer.

In an old interview shared on Instagram by "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast host Amanda Hirsch, the former One Direction singer was asked if he has a "celebrity crush."

"Emily Ratajkowski from 'Gone Girl.'" Styles responds in the clip, although he mispronounces the model's surname.

The interview, which Styles and his One Direction bandmates took part in to promote their album "Four," was carried out by the Mexican television network, Telehit, in December 2014.

At the time, Ratajkowski was best known for her supporting role in the David Fincher thriller which saw her play the mistress of Ben Affleck's character. She had catapulted to fame the year prior when she appeared semi-nude in the music video for Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell Williams' hit single "Blurred Lines."

"Harry manifested this," Hirsch wrote alongside the footage, referencing the fact that the "As It Was" singer was caught on camera making out with the model in Tokyo on Saturday, following his Love on Tour concert at the Ariake Arena.

In one of the clips, Styles, 29, and Ratajkowski, 31, can be seen kissing in front of a silver vehicle. Another video showed the duo dancing to music on the street.

The Grammy-winning pop star was wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, and black pants with his hair partly tied up, while the model and author wore a pink puffer jacket and a black skirt.

Representatives for Styles and Ratajkowski did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Their potential new romance comes after Styles split from director and actor Olivia Wilde in November 2022, following an almost two-year romance that reportedly began on the set of "Don't Worry Darling" in January 2021.

At the time, multiple sources told People that Styles and Wilde were "taking a break." A source told the publication it was "a very amicable decision," with Styles touring abroad and Wilde "focusing on her kids and her work in LA."

Meanwhile, Ratajkowski also ended a long-term relationship last year. The "My Body" author filed for divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in September 2022 after four years of marriage. The couple, who met and tied the knot within a fortnight in 2018, share a son, Sylvester.

Since September, Ratajkowski has been linked to several celebrities including Pete Davidson and Eric André, who posted a very explicit photo of their hook-up session in honor of Valentine's Day just over a month ago.
