The recent social media spat between Calvin Harris and ex-One Directioner Zayn Malik has put the spotlight on Taylor Swift's boyfriend. The 31-year-old Scottish remixer and DJ proved to be a good boyfriend when he quickly defended Swift over Malik's insinuation that Miley Cyrus is the better female artist.

For fans who want to know more about Calvin Harris, below are interesting facts about the man who will hopefully not end up being the subject of Swift's future heartbreak song.

1. He has an ongoing Twitter feud with Zayn Malik

The latest development on Harris' Twitter feud with Malik is the DJ's cryptic video clip post which possibly suggests that he is ready to dump Zayn like some sort of human trash.

The battle between the two appears to be ongoing, and their fans know how to show their support. Calvin Harris' Twitter account has 6.45 million followers. That's already a lot given that the music producer joined the social networking site in Jan. 2009.

However, in terms of followers, the ex-1D member proves to be the more influential artist with his 15.4 million Twitter followers despite joining a little later than Harris in Aug. 2010.

Wherever this Twitter battle would lead these two artists remains to be seen, but for now many their fans could only hope for a possible reconciliation.

2. He has amassed a whopping $110 million so far in his career

Harris, born Adam Richard Wiles, is a millionaire whose net worth is currently at $110 million. The 31-year-old has come a long way from being a simple teenager who recorded demos in his bedroom, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Calvin made a name for himself in the music scene when he finally released "I Created Disco," his first ever album which contained a lot of his hit tracks aside from the title track, such as "Disco Heat, "Neon Rocks" and "Merrymaking at My Place."

The Grammy recipient's career has flourished in the recent years. In 2013, he was hailed as the highest paid DJ after his net work spiked to $46 million that year. The following year, he still snagged the same title after earning $60 million and not too long, he reached the $110 million mark all thanks to his musical genius. 

3. He has dated successful artists and models

Calvin Harris' girlfriend at present is "Shake It Off" singer Taylor Swift. But before he found his way to Harry Styles' ex, Calvin dated model Aarika Wolf. They reportedly broke up in March, according to Daily Mail. 

Harris also dated Rita Ora for sometime. Then, he was linked to Ellie Goulding before his romance with Ora. And way before that, he was also rumored to have dated model Anne Vyalitsyna, as listed by FamousFix.

4. He models for the underwear industry

According to Hollywood Life, amid his very successful career as a disc jockey, Calvin Harris is also prepared to strip down to his underwear as a model. Early this year, the buff music producer did a shoot for Emporio Armani. His photos were part of Armani's 2015 Spring/Summer campaign.

5. He sort of didn't like Taylor Swift at first

It's quite shocking to know that Swift didn't really fit Harris' ideal type before they started going out. In March, the music producer did an interview with Capital FM Breakfast and made the shocking statement about his recent ladylove saying, "She's just the opposite of my type. She looks lovely but she's the opposite of my type, so I would just go left."
