Harry Styles took a jibe at ex-Prince Andrew’s viral arrest photo during his opening monologue on “SNL.” Last week, the singer appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and nailed it with his punchlines and witty remarks. He mentioned that he took up “jogging,” which seemed perfect for his “boring” personality. Then, the “One Direction” heartthrob pointed out that the mundane activity was better than the “alternative.” Then, a picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appeared on the screen from the time when he was released from police custody.
Harry Styles pokes fun at Ex-Prince Andrew’s viral arrest photo on SNL
Harry Styles mocked ex-Prince Andrew’s viral arrest photo on his “Saturday Night Live (SNL).” During his opening monologue, he spoke about his “boring” personality and how a simple jog in London attracted attention. “I took up jogging. There’s nothing interesting about that. But because I’m me, people pretend to find that interesting,” the rockstar said.
Furthermore, he quipped, saying that he chose the activity to feel the “runner’s high.” Then, he jokingly mentioned, “Watermelon sugar high,” adding that he would also prefer “ecstasy.” “As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative,” Styles stated.
After this dialogue, the screen displayed the photo of ex-Prince Andrew. It was the viral shot of the former Duke of York when he was seated in the back of a police car after his arrest. For those unversed, he was taken into custody on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. However, he was released after hours of interrogation.
Giving Andrew’s reference, Styles pointed to scenarios that truly counted as scandals. His jogging was a common people activity, but according to him, his fans made it seem “interesting.” And then, he slyly gave an example of an “alternative” situation.
