Throughout the course of One Direction, we always saw Zayn Malik as the dark, brooding member who has a hidden secret or two.
But since, well, Zayning the band he was been V open about what he’s been going through over the years.
In a new interview with Vogue, the star unleashed EVERYTHING that’s going on in that hot head of his.
MENTAL HEALTH
“I always feel like I’m trying to work through whatever certain issues are around certain subjects,” Zayn shared. “For me personally, it comes from a place of not ever wanting to come across as an over-arrogant person or a person that takes himself too seriously,” he added.
“I’m not a very outgoing social person, like in terms of a big group of people.”
MOVING OUT
“When I first moved in, I was sleeping on a mattress for about six months,” he told the mag. “I didn’t really want to do anything to it because I just liked the way it felt, like minimalistic, simple, there was really nothing to hold onto.”
“I’d just moved out of my London pad, which had a lot of stuff in it,” he added. “I thought, ‘I’ll stick just a poster on the walk and do, like, a collage.’ It was meant to be a little collage originally, and then I did the entire wall. And then I just kind of I went from there. I didn’t really have anything in the house except for this massive collaged wall.”
Soon after Zayn’s interview went live, his fans took to social media to express their undying love for the star.
