I haven't spoken to the One Direction band mates in a long time: Zayn Malik
If you thought a One Direction reunion was possible, don't be too hopeful.
In Zayn's latest interview with Vogue the singer said his relationship with the band was affected due to the heavy workload and shortly after he left it deteriorated completely.
"We went from theatres, to arenas, to stadiums - there was never any sort of bridge between. Just boom, boom, boom,” said the 25-year-old. “I guess that kind of progression to any mind – but especially when you're 17, 18 - it kind of affects you a little bit. People take it different ways – especially when there are five different personalities. The relationships had broken apart."
He added, "Nah. I ain't spoke to any of them for a long time, to be honest with you. That's just the way it is. There's things that happen and things that were said after I left... Snide things. Small things that I would never have expected."
When it comes to friendships Zayn likes to call himself an "island". "Yeah. I have always been a bit like that, though – always a bit of an island. I don't like to confer with too many people."
However, speaking of his relationship with Gigi Hadid, he admitted that he depends on her a lot.
“Everything is great. She’s super-organised and I’m really not. It helps that she can get things together for me a little bit. I lean on her a lot.”
Zayn left the five-member band One Direction in 2015 and said he wanted to "be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight."
