WATCH: Boy band member accused of catfishing on dating apps
Dating isn’t always easier when you are famous and attractive.
One Direction was, and probably will forever be, one of the biggest boy bands to ever exist.

The group of five formed in July 2010 and achieved major commercial success with their hit single, ‘That’s What Makes You Beautiful’.
Unfortunately, one of the members, Zayn Malik, left the group in March 2015, and in 2016, the remaining members decided to go on an indefinite hiatus.
Since then, the members have gone on to achieve varying levels of success. Harry Styles has become a style icon and Grammy winner, while Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn have also celebrated solo success.

There is also no denying that all five are still considered to be absolute heartthrobs.
In a recent interview with Nylon Magazine, Zayn admitted that the dating scene can be tricky to navigate as one of the most famous boyband members in the world.

While Zayn has a daughter with supermodel Gigi Hadid, he is currently single.
He is enjoying the single life but when he has tried dating apps, no one seems to believe that it’s actually him.
It’s not been too successful for me, I’ll be honest. Everyone accused me of catfishing. They’re like, 'What are you using Zayn Malik’s pictures for?’ I’ve been kicked off once or twice.
It seems a bit unfair, but in 2024, you can’t be too sure.
Luckily, Zayn is enjoying the quiet life on his farm, spending as much time as possible with his daughter and still making music.
If you are feeling nostalgic for the good old One Direction days, here's a little throwback:
