Adele gave Styles a copy of her album '21' and wished him luck, reported E! online.
"For my 21st she gave me one of her albums 21 and said, 'I did some pretty cool stuff when I was 21, good luck'," Styles said.
"I was like, 'geez,'" he added.
Styles also shared that he has turned to Adele for words of sage advice as he embarks on his solo career.
"I've spoken with her a little bit, she knows one of the guys that I wrote with a lot. But I don't think so much advice, I just like how she does stuff.
