If he’s going to get nervous and chicken out of meeting Johnny Depp for a cup of tea, then he’s got no chance of manning up for a showdown with Max George.
One Direction’s Zayn Malik decided he didn’t fancy hanging out with the Hollywood actor in fear that he would “embarrass” himself.
His bandmates Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam weren’t going to miss the opportunity to spend time with the Pirates of the Caribbean star – they even sang a few songs for the his daughter, Lily-Rose (as if she wasn’t already the coolest kid in school).
Obviously properly regretting his decision to sack it off for a Skype call with Perrie, Zayn explained: “I was too nervous to go.
“I am a massive, massive fan and I didn’t want to embarrass myself so I let the boys go without me. Hopefully, there will be a next time. The boys said he was totally cool.
“I kind of regret it for sure and the lads said I was a scaredy cat.”
He didn’t quite compare himself to Johnny Depp – but did reason with the excitement and emotions fans of One Direction experience when they meet their idols.
He said: “Some of our fans get so excited or nervous when they meet us and that’s how I was at the thought of being with Johnny.
“But instead of lapping it up and enjoying it, I ran the other way.”
While he’s being a bit of a wet flannel about meeting his idols, Zayn has been dishing out a bit of fighting talk on Twitter to rival boyband The Wanted.
After exchanging a few bitchy comments with Max, the pair agreed to meet up and settle their differences when they are scheduled to perform at the same concert in New York.
We’re not sure what’s going to happen (obviously, we’re not Derren Brown) but The Wanted told us they want a boxing match with One Direction – then go for a pint after. But Max doesn’t reckon a fight would last very long…
Just please no touching of the hair guys. Seriously.
