Early life and education
Harry was raised an only child in Los Angeles, California by his parents; he spent a lot of time being taken care of by a babysitter, mostly because of his parents’ careers.

Harry was later a member of his high school’s drama club, and appeared in plays performed both at the school and a local theatre, but mostly played supporting characters, as he wasn’t a highly skilled actor.
He matriculated in 2017, and because Harry hasn’t spoken of his further education, it’s widely believed that he hasn’t attended college.
Career as an actor
Harry played the supporting character Piñata Boy in the hit 2006 romantic comedy movie “Shortbus”, written and directed by John Cameron Mitchell, and which starred Sook-Yin Lee, Peter Stickles and PJ DeBoy. It follows the lives of several New Yorkers who have met at an underground salon, and the movie won seven of the 16 awards for which it was nominated.

It follows the members of a famous band from the ‘90s who have reunited in the 2020s; the series has won one of the 39 awards for which it has been nominated, including a Primetime Emmy nomination.
Love life and girlfriend
Harry is highly secretive when it comes to his love life, and because he hasn’t mentioned the girls or boys whom he has perhaps been with, there are various rumors circulating the internet concerning his sexual orientation, and his current relationship status.
Some of his father’s fans believe that Harry is gay, and that this is why he’s keeping his love life away from the media’s attention.

The boy has apparently been seen attending a party in Los Angeles with his boyfriend, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has Harry commented on these rumors.

As of December 2021, Harry seems to be single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Harry’s main hobby is photography, and many pictures taken by him can be seen uploaded onto his Instagram account. He’s quite active on the network, and has uploaded over 400 pictures, while he’s today followed by close to 2,000 people.
He’s a huge lover of animals, and is fascinated by goats and their cliff-climbing abilities.
Harry likes to travel, and has apparently been to various US states and European countries; when travelling, he prefers to visit natural locations rather than to stay in overcrowded cities.
Late at night, he enjoys watching movies starring his favorite actor and actress, Jim Carrey and Amanda Seyfried, such as “Bruce Almighty”, “The Number 23” and “Dear John”.

Harry’s age is 22. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, his height is 5ft 8ins (1.7m) and he weighs around 140lbs (65kgs).
