Dana Samuel is a social media video producer for TODAY Digital.

The highly-anticipated movie adaptation of Robinne Lee’s novel 'The Idea of You' is finally here, and there's one question that fans can't quite shake: Is this story Harry Styles fan fiction? Many fans drew a connection between Nicholas Galitzine's character, Hayes Campbell — an attractive British member of a five-person boy band, clad in tattoos who often dates older women — and Harry Styles.

Styles specifically was largely categorized as the 'heartthrob' of the group, with a history of dating of older women. And so, the Harry Styles-'The Idea of You' association was born. Is August Moon based on One Direction? Since Hayes Campbell is partially inspired by Harry Styles, it's not a stretch to assume some inspiration for the rest of the band came from One Direction.
