When Zayn Malik announced that he would be leaving the teen sensation boy band One Direction, the world went ballistic. However, little did they knew that his talent was going to shine beyond that.
Fast-forward to a year later, and the British pop heartthrob has evolved not only as an artist, but as a writer. His highly awaited solo album Mind of Mine dropped this past week, and it’s already raising to the top of the charts with smash hits like “PillowTalk” “Like I Would” and “wRoNg” featuring Kehlani.
With that being said, I’ve taken it upon myself to dig in and bring you 10 random facts from the former One Direction member, and of course, let me know your “Zayn Knowledge” in the comments below.
1. Zayn’s name is actually spelt with an ‘i’ (Zain). He says “Zayn” looks more original and adopted it as his stage name.
2. Zayn means “beautiful” in Arabic.
3. He has a total of eighth tattoos on his body. The most recent is a life-size microphone on his right forearm that he had done in Los Angeles.
4. Zayn is a huge Chris Brown fan. He lists ‘All Back’ as one of his most-played songs, and ‘Graffiti’ as his favorite album.
5. He tried to auditione for X Factor in 2009, but his nerves got the best of him. He later followed through in 2010 and sand Mario’s hit song “Let Me Love You.”
6. His X Factor audition number was #165616. He’s joked around that he’d like to get it tattooed on his arm.
7. One of Zayn’s most memorable mottos is: “Never live life in the fear of death, no matter how hard life gets, don’t lose hope.”
8. Zayn was named Best Dressed Male of 2014 by GQ magazine
9. He suffers from Aquaphobia – meaning that he’s scared of open water, and also can’t swim.
10. Zayn’s all-time favorite song is “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. Mmm, I wonder if he can get down with some M.J. moves too?
