Harry Styles wants a career like Justin Timberlake's, One Direction break up and solo career rumors coming true?

We've been hearing about a Harry Styles solo career for quite some time now, but now reports claim the One Direction singer is modeling his career off of another former boy band member: Justin Timberlake. Considering Timberlake's careers in music and movies, he's definitely a great person to emulate.

"Harry prefers LA because he could be a real star over there. He wants a solo career like Justin Timberlake's," an anonymous source told Heat in the United Kingdom. "He's already been writing for Kodaline and [The X Factor USA winners] Alex and Sierra, and recording solo demos. He wants to act, too, and he can't get the real gig if he stays in a boy band that 12 year olds like. He loves 1D, but he feels it could limit his longevity. He asked Kendall [Jenner]: 'How many boy bands do you know that keep going for more than five years?'"

This source is definitely making a ton of claims about Harry and even speculates on a conversation he had with Jenner, who was never confirmed to be his girlfriend earlier this year. Clearly Styles can and would have a career after One Direction, but we shouldn't consider it until his current contract with the boy band runs out (in 2016).

The insider added: "Harry's making connections - he's not taken seriously in the US yet and he wants desperately to change that. He has the big picture in mind and his bandmates know it. It's a matter of time before he goes solo."

Comparing Harry to Timberlake is a bit obvious, but it's an apt analogy nonetheless. What do you think of this new source's claims?
