The star, who’s best known for his role as Ricky Bowen in High School Musical: The Series, has gone viral on social media after complimenting the British singer-songwriter and his “charming” personality. “I think he’s a nice guy, doesn’t say too much, but when he talks, it matters,” said Bassett. “He’s just cool.
Who doesn’t think Harry Styles is cool? Also, he’s hot, you know? He’s very charming too. Lots of things.” The 20-year-old then joked: “This is also my coming out video, I guess.” Although social media came to the conclusion that Bassett used the opportunity to come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a representative for the star told GAY TIMES that he doesn’t identify as queer.
