Singer ZAYN Malik has admitted that he and Harry Styles were never pals, even back in their One Direction days.
… Oo-er!
Clearly not moving in One Direction but rather opposite paths, Gigi Hadid’s beau revealed all to Us Magazine.
“To be honest, I never really spoke to Harry – even when I was in the band.
“So I didn’t really expect that much of a relationship with him.”
Zayn, who previously had a Twitter spat with former bezzie Louis Tomlison, also shared his relationship status on Niall Horan and Liam Payne.
And safe to say, ‘It’s complicated’.
He continued: “We’re in touch. Everything is on a civil level.
“It’s not the way it used to be, obviously.
“We were spending 24 hours a day in the band, now we’re growing as individual men but we still check in.”
However, despite his somewhat frosty feeling towards his old bandmates, Zayn wouldn’t completely rule out a 1D reunion – much to the delight of One Directioners everywhere.
“If I wanted to come back in 10, 15 years time, then yeah, why not?” added Malik.
“I don’t know. If I didn’t want to [be in the band] then I might not. It just depends on how I’m feeling at the time.”
The band’s fierce fandom perhaps should not hold their breath for One Direction: The Comeback Tour however, as Z is loving the more sedate pace of being a solo artist.
“We were basically going at, like, 500 miles per hour. We did everything to an extreme in the band.
“[Now] it’s not as full on, it’s not as extreme, it’s not as in-your-face. It’s at my own pace.
“So this way, it feels 100 times more manageable. It’s just easier. It’s a lot less work.”
In the meantime, Malik is prepping for the release of his sophomore solo effort, which he recently kicked off with the dynamic Sia collaboration Dusk Til Dawn.
