Not so golden.
Harry Styles got into a heated exchange with an autograph seeker on a New York City street Wednesday, according to videos obtained by TMZ.
In the first clip, the man can be seen trailing the singer, who attempted to keep a low profile in a hoodie and baseball cap while listening to music through wired earbuds.
The man repeatedly tried to get Styles’ attention, but the Grammy winner continued walking without acknowledging him.

The autograph seeker then appeared to scream and taunt Styles, who initially kept his composure.
However, a second video showed the two men yelling and pointing their fingers at each other, though it was unclear what they were saying.
At one point, a third man stepped between Styles and the autograph seeker, who was holding a copy of the singer’s “Fine Line” album, seemingly attempting to defuse the tension.
When the former One Direction member tried to walk away, the man continued following him, matching his stride before the video cut off.

Page Six has reached out to Styles’ reps for comment.
The fan — who goes by Giovanni and the username @gtvreality on Instagram — shared a statement to social media Thursday, saying, “Harry didn’t lose his cool. I did. He stayed calm and even helped calm me down.” He said headlines to the contrary “couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Giovanni added Styles has “always been a gentleman” to him, reaching back to their first encounter in 2012, and said he “take[s] full responsibility and sincerely apologize[s] to Harry,” noting, “He’s always been cool with me, and he deserves nothing but respect.”

The “Sign of the Times” crooner has been spotted around NYC frequently in recent months, often walking from Brooklyn, where his fiancée Zoë Kravitz resides, to Madison Square Garden.
Though Styles typically attempts to fly under the radar by wearing hats and sunglasses, he has previously been seen having friendlier interactions with fans and autograph seekers around the city.
The singer has been spending plenty of time in the Big Apple amid his 30-night residency at MSG, which kicked off Aug. 26 and runs through Halloween.

Styles announced the event in January as part of his “Together, Together” tour.
Though the songwriter always attempts to keep a low profile while wearing a hat or shades, he has had positive interactions with other autograph seekers around the city.
He has since made headlines for several memorable moments throughout the residency, including a cheeky comment about ex Taylor Swift’s wedding, a touching 9/11 tribute and a surprise tribute to Dolly Parton on opening night.
