π€π Zayn Malik: The ‘Overexposed’ Life & Triumphant Return to the Mic ππ΅
TL;DR: Once a reclusive celeb, Zayn Malik breaks his six-year silence with a candid interview on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast. Malik, once a One Direction sensation, talks about his “overexposed” years and how fatherhood influenced his return to the limelight. His upcoming single, “Love Like This,” is on the horizon.ππΆ
When we talk about living life in the fast lane, Zayn Malik can surely relate. Popping albums like candy from 2011 to 2015, the One Direction dynamo was truly living in the limelight. But hold up, folks, wasn’t it all too much? π€π
Malik recently emerged from his reclusive shell for his first interview in six years on Alex Cooper’s ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, where he confessed, “I feel like we were so overexposed in the band that thatβs why I took the time that I have to not even necessarily do interviews.”
We can’t blame the guy, can we? With five studio albums, four world tours, two concert films, a documentary, and a whooping four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, they were practically brewing hits faster than your barista can whip up a caramel macchiato. πΈβοΈπͺοΈ
By 2015, Malik decided to hit the brakes, choosing to leave the group right before their fifth album drop. He just wanted to be a “normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.” But wait, don’t we all? Can fame really be that exhausting? π°π«π¦
His time with One Direction wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns. Zayn also had some real talk about being boxed into a stereotype within the boy band. The “mysterious one”, as he was labeled, wasn’t really his cup of tea. As he put it, “I’m just chill. I know that a lot of people have high-energy personalities, and itβs just not the way I am.” Can we really box people into stereotypes and expect them to play the part perfectly? π¦ππ€·ββοΈ
Fast forward to 2020, the birth of his daughter with model Gigi Hadid. Zayn says his little one has been the major influence for his interview comeback. His reason? Simple, “I want her to look at me and be like, βYo, my dadβs doing this!'”. How far would you go to set the right example for your kids? πΆπ€±π¨βπ§
Moreover, Malik admitted that he’s developed a taste for “dad jokes” and described how his daughter has brought “the color back” into his life. Isn’t it amazing how little humans can have such a big impact on us? π¨πͺπ
The full ‘Call Her Daddy’ interview with Malik will be available on Wednesday, July 12. Also, gear up for some more Zayn magic as his new single, “Love Like This,” is set to drop on July 21. Who’s ready for some fresh tunes from the ever-mysterious, now “chill” dad? π§π₯πΊ
