  • Mick Jagger, 78, appeared in an interview with The Sunday Times. 

  • Jagger reflected on the comparisons between him and singer Harry Styles, 28.

  • "He doesn't have a voice like mine or move on stage like me," Jagger said of Styles.

Mick Jagger swatted down comparisons between him and Harry Styles.

Jagger, 78, made the remarks in an interview with The Sunday Times' Mark Seliger published Saturday. Jagger shared his thoughts on the "Watermelon Sugar" singer, who was once rumored to be in talks to play Jagger in a biopic film.

"I like Harry — we have an easy relationship," Jagger said. "I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous."

Jagger added: "And he doesn't have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can't help that."

Representatives for Styles did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Styles, 28, has been a longtime fan of Jagger and even imitated him during a 2017 appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Mail Online reported Jagger inspired the red jumpsuit Styles wore in his music video for "As It Was."

Styles released his third solo album, "Harry's House," on Friday.

Styles told Billboard that making an album was a "self-absorbed experience."

"My intention when finishing an album is I want to feel personally really interested in what the next album sounds like," he said. "I don't ever want you to finish an album and feel like, 'Oh, OK, I know exactly what he's gonna make next time.' I want to feel like I have no idea what the next album sounds like."
