One Direction star Harry Styles has brushed off comparisons of his band to The Beatles, insisting they would be "total fools" to think they are in the same league as the music legends.
The fivesome rose to fame after they placed third on Britain's The X Factor in 2010, and soon became superstars all over the world, reported Contactmusic.

"We all sat and watched the film of them arriving in America. And to be honest, that really was like us. Stepping off the plane, the girls, the madness. It was exactly the same as when we got there - just 50 years earlier.
