One Directionwas one of the biggest boybands of all time.
However, they had no prior connections before forming.
In fact, the group started out on the UK version of “The X Factor,” perBritannica.
However, fans were stunned in 2015 when Malik announced he was leaving the group.
1D went on to record one album without Malik before announcing that they were planning to goon hiatus.
This is an exciting time for them creatively and as a group."
While One Direction seemed to part on mostly good terms, their friendships weren’t always so solid.
In fact, two of the guys downright hated each other when the group was first formed.
Payne went as far as to say that the two singers actually “hated” each other at first.
“Me and Louis did not get along.
“We hated each other, it was that strong!”
However, the guys quickly settled into a rhythm and even became close.
Payne says that he and Tomlinson are actually great friends now.
“Now we are actually the best of friends within the band, which I think is absolutely hilarious …
I think even in those moments of angst it breathes a connection between you both,” he stated.
