Zayn Malik: There are no secret gay relationships among One Direction
Zayn Malik knows about all the rumors and about all that fan fiction.
But the former member of One Direction is setting the record straight: ‘There’s no secret relationships going on with any of the band members.’
Malik, 22, discusses with Fader Magazine short fiction fan phenomenon of ‘shipping’ – short for relationshipping – which imagines celebrities in relationships with each other. GIFs and videos are typically used to create a different context that usually involves members of the band involved on some kind of relationship.
‘It’s not funny, and it still continues to be quite hard for them,’ says Malik who left the group last March to resume a solo career.
He says the shipping has made his former bandmates self conscious.
‘They won’t naturally go put their arm around each other because they’re conscious of this thing that’s going on, which is not even true,’ Malik says. ;They won’t do that natural behavior.
‘But it’s just the way the fans are. They’re so passionate, and once they get their head around an idea, that’s the way it is regardless of anything. If it wasn’t for that passionate, like, almost obsession, then we wouldn’t have the success that we had.’
