Harry Styles has now confirmed the long-held rumor that he has four nipples.

The admission came while chatting with Chelsea Handler, an American TV personality known for her caustic, no-nonsense humour, to promote his new film.

During the conversation, Chelsea said, “There’s a rumor on the internet that you have four nipples. Have you heard that? ”

“Correct.” Harry replied. “You do?” she inquired, and he replied, “Yeah.” She requested him to point them out over his shirt, and he did so – the extra nipples are a little lower than his “usual” nipples.

‘Oh, I hooked up with a guy who had that once. I didn’t know it was a thing,’ she joked.

‘It’s a thing,’ Harry said dryly before bursting out laughing.

True Harry Styles fans will already be aware of this fact, since he alluded to it in the video for their song Kiss You.

Despite Handler’s surprise at Styles’ revelation, Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research for the Department of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, says having additional nipples isn’t unusual. However, estimates of polythelia rates vary widely: not everyone with a supernumerary nipple is aware of it, and there isn’t much research on the issue.

“When the body develops, sometimes nipple forming cells accidentally migrate down the chest below the normal nipple,” Dr. Zeichner explains. “Supernumerary nipples can develop anywhere on the chest, armpit, even belly or into the groin, along a vertical line below the nipple, known as the ’embryonic milk line.'”

By the way, Styles embraces his extra nipples with his trademark calm confidence. During an April interview with Nick Grimshaw, he stated that they are his best dating quality. “My worst trait is, I think I snore,” he said. “Also, I quite like routine so I don’t know if I’m incredibly spontaneous because I quite like routine. Best trait, I don’t really know. It’s weird to pick a best trait. Shall we go with the nipples thing?”

Meanwhile, Styles revealed that ‘Dunkirk’ received a 12A rating because he couldn’t stop swearing on set.

“Chris [Nolan] makes this world that makes you react so naturally. You do not feel like you have to act that much as he makes it really instinctive,” he said. “And you get carried away. He makes it so easy to be immersed in it.”
