Harry Styles accused of using ‘Hacks’ character name to check into hotels

Harry Styles' love for the series Hacks seemed to have taken over the way he checks into hotels, according to what the series star Jean Smart claims.

Smart, 72, revealed to Drew Barrymore, the host of The Drew Barrymore Show in a preview clip of her appearance on Tuesday, May 7 that she “found out that [Styles] was using Deborah Vance’s name to check into hotels as his alias.”

Smart, who portrayed the lead character Deborah Vance, said, “We saw there was a picture of him sitting next to his bodyguard and his bodyguard had the envelope with his keys and everything in it and it said, ‘D Vance,’ and he was on the 13th floor, and we found out indeed, he did use ‘D Vance’ to check into hotels.”

Both Hacks and Styles fans reacted to the revelation in the comment section of the preview clip, which was shared on Instagram on Monday, May 6.

“That was the most perfect TEA,” wrote one social media user, while another added, “My worlds are colliding, Harry Styles & Jean Smart?? Now that is iconic & I hope Jean gets to meet Harry soon!!”

Smart also revealed how she found out about Styles’ love for the show.

“I have never met the man, unfortunately. But we did an episode where it shows that Deborah collects antique salt and pepper shakers,” Smart began.

“And about a week or two after it airs, I get this beautiful bouquet of flowers and a package, and inside was this gorgeous vintage salt shaker that looked almost exactly like the one that we used in the show.”

She continued, “It was from ‘H,’ and I found out it was from Harry because I knew his then-girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, and she told me that it was from him. Then he gave me and my youngest tickets to his show.”
