Harry Styles works at bakery

Harry Styles tasted a slice of his old life when he returned to the bakery he used to work at to shoot scenes for One Direction's new 3D movie.

The British hunk, who is now worth an estimated $24 million, strapped on an apron to step behind the counter at W Mandeville in his hometown of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, England.

Styles worked there when he was 14 years old, pulling in $9.60 an hour mopping floors and wiping down the baking trays.

A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "It was funny as there were security and chauffeurs and minders outside, and there Harry was acting like he was still a baker's boy earning what he earns in a second now. He posed for fans - he was just lovely."

The footage is expected to feature in One Direction's upcoming film This Is Us.
