One Direction band member Harry Styles was repeatedly and unjustly mocked for his taste for older women, having dated Caroline Flack and Taylor Swift, who are both older than he is and, to be fair, totally out of his league. He was first mocked by host James Corden, who questioned him on the spot, forcing him to cover his head with an itinerary at the dinner table.

Stick to your guns Harry Styles, we salute you.
