Harry Styles spotted sea-swimming at popular Dublin spot
Towel and carrier bag in hand 🤣
Harry Styles took a well-deserved break from performing to take a dip at Vico Baths in Killiney, Dublin ahead of his much-anticipated show tonight.
The As It Was singer, 28, will perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the Aviva Stadium as part of his Love On Tour world tour.
Fans couldn't believe what they were seeing, so of course grabbed their phones to share the breaking news on social media.
His girlfriend American actress Olivia Wilde could also be seen in the first picture walking down the steps with Bono's daughter Eve Hewson.
Fans are comparing the ex-One Direction member's coastal trip to that of Matt Damon's excursion to the forty foot with his iconic SuperValu shopping bag during the pandemic.
There's no better way to prepare for a show than with a brisk dip in the sea 🤣
Have you tried the sea-swimming trend? There is something exhilarating about taking the plunge and entering open water with just your skin (and a swimming costume) between you and the elements.
How to swim safe in the sea:
- Don’t jump into water you have not checked for depth and obstructions
- Make sure you know how you will get out before you get in
- Never swim alone and keep a constant watch on weak swimmers
- Come prepared with warm clothes before and after a swim
- Never swim in urban rivers, stagnant lakes or reedy shallows
- Wear footwear if you can
