Not just style in the sense of fashion, but being like, ‘This is who I am. This is how I want to present myself and kind of move through the world.’” She continued, “And I think it’s just such a lovely thing to see someone just be like, ‘I’m okay with who I am.’ He’s also a massive rock star so maybe it’s not that tough.” Falcone added, “If you actually parse it through, he is incredibly attractive, he’s incredibly talented, he can sing, he can do anything, he can act.” He also recalled how their 15-year-old daughter Georgie inspired him to put Styles’ music in “God’s Favorite Idiot” after she learned to play his songs on the piano.

Falcone said, “I was going over the top by even listening to more, like that’s not a normal ‘dad’ thing to do. I was like, ‘Let’s play this again, re-rack this.’ And then I started listening to it while I was writing the show and I just thought, Well, let me actually just write in the songs that I would like to get.

And then we got them. I couldn’t believe it.” He added, “Harry or his team came back so fast and said sure.” “We were completely shocked,” McCarthy admitted.
