'The Idea of You' author Robinne Lee wishes she never revealed Harry Styles as her inspiration for fictional pop star Hayes Campbell. 'It's unfortunate,' she tells Entertainment Weekly.

"I think it's unfortunate because it's being used as clickbait, and when I'm writing for Hayes, I'm not picturing Harry Styles," Robinne Lee says.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.

"He's very much like JFK Jr. when he was dating Daryl Hannah, and they were hanging out in the Hamptons — that was definitely the Hamptons Hayes," Lee says. "And then there's some Michael Hutchence sexiness when he was dating Helena Christensen. And I was obsessed with Duran Duran when I was young, so there's a lot of Simon, and there's a lot of John, and there's a lot of actual Duran Duran Easter eggs throughout the entire book.
