Harry Styles' sister Gemma is his best friend

Harry Styles' sister doesn't care about his fame.

The Aperture singer is happy to call Gemma Styles one of his "best friends" because no one knows him as well as she does and he thinks they have a "beautiful" bond.

Asked who is least impressed by his fame, he told BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills: "My sister…in like the most beautiful way, in the way that makes me feel so wonderful and loved by her. It's not what we talk about. It’s just in a way that it makes me so full.

"She is not that bothered [about the fame].

"I also think as you get a little bit older as well and you have siblings that then you choose to be friends with, ends up being like a really beautiful friendship in your life. She's one of my best friends and she knows me better than anyone."

And the former One Direction hunk is thankful he has a supportive group of friends around him and even if he goes long periods without seeing them, their relationship remains the same.

He said: "I think like the thing I'm luckiest for in my life when I look at like everything in my life, the thing I feel most fortunate for is my friends have been a group that I can count on in ways that have just made me feel so loved, no matter what happens...

"I think everyone has that friend where you don't see them for a long time and then you see them and it's like no time has passed and I think I'm really lucky to have a few of those.

"I have a lot of best friends and we're all really close and I think that's always been the thing that's allowed me to feel kind of free to make what I want to make and not make when I don't want to make and just they've never made me feel like anything other than me as like their friend."

Despite his global fame, Harry, 31, enjoys walking around London and living as much of a normal life as possible.

He said: " I think for a long time because when I first started touring and stuff…I think we spent a lot of time in hotel rooms. And I think the feeling becomes like, oh, I can't do things.

"It was really important to me…kind of when I then started doing more things, I was like 'Oh this is one…great for me…two…totally fine' and most people you meet out are wonderful.

"I think you can definitely choose to kind of shut yourself off from the world and it's been so wonderful for me and is something that is really important to me to stay in the universe.

"You know especially I think if you're trying to write and make music about ultimately the human experience it's hard if you're not living a very human experience...

"I used to just drive everywhere you know? I used to drive around London everywhere and I think in the last few years when I've kind of stopped doing that…it's like even the parts of the city that I've discovered that you miss if you're driving everywhere you know you find a little coffee shop that you wouldn't have seen otherwise and all these things that if you kind of allow yourself to be more open to it you're kind of rewarded."
