People are apparently throwing chicken nuggets at Harry Styles now

“Who threw the chicken nugget?” Styles admonishes with the tone of a very bored babysitter, because–let’s admit it–that’s essentially what he is at this point. To chants of “eat it! eat it!” he reminds the screaming masses that a) he doesn’t eat chicken (“Non mangia carne,” to be precise), b) it’s cold and c) it’s probably very old. These are all absolutely indisputable claims, something we cannot say about other recent controversial statements the newly-minted actor has made.

Luckily, Styles seems to have a positive outlook on the whole McNugget fiasco, which–if other fan antics are to be believed–will certainly be reprised at future shows. Looking genuinely gleeful if a little bemused, the singer moves to toss the offending snack back to its original owner with a shrug of his pink-polka-dot-tank-topped shoulders.

“Why?” he asks, before immediately answering his own question: “Because.” Because, indeed.
