I know. Im so glad he's able to speak about the past so positively and laugh about it now even when it was one of his hardest times. I really hope we one day we do get a reunion with all five boys even if it just means them sitting in a room talking I wouldn't even care if they don't do a performance I would just love to see them interact with each other like they do even if they do a little skit of just singing fresh prince of bell air for jokes that would be fine by me. Also if they did this I feel like not only would it give closer for fans but for the boys knowing that it ended on a good note and not holding grudges against each other. I feel like One Direction ended in such heartbreak even though it wasn't Zayn's fault for leaving. There was so much resentment and maybe even a sense of betrayal from some fans and also from the boys as well even though it was never Zayn's fault and just having that conversation between all of them would give everyone that slight more sense of closer

That’s the only reason I even came to comments was to see if anyone else caught that “you’re Zayn we have to know” line and I’m so proud Sean said that! I think he should interview Nardwar they would just have back and forth questions and I am here for it

It was a lovely conversation, I liked it a lot.

​@arinarahman3758 I believe he's laughing because someone is painting Zayn out to be a saint. In reality he was ordered to attend anger management after he attacked his partner. That's not to say the guy hasn't changed, nor that he's a genuinely nice guy. The point is everyone has a dark side.

So happy this interview happened, and that Zayn felt comfortable enough to be himself, and that people are taking notice! Wishing him all the best!!!

[@pinion1133]

This is probably my favorite interview of Zayn so far. The questions are related to him, his album, interests, hobbies, his life basically. No questions about his past, nothing being repeated. This made us see Zayn in a different light which is so heartwarming and inspiring to see. “One of the best interviews I’ve ever done.” Completely agree! Thank u for making this interview possible and I knew Zayn could take this challenge effortlessly. I’m excited to listen to his new album ❤

All of the lads from the band are pretty down to earth people that are so easy to relate to, especially Louis, so yeah the old thing about automatically crapping on people purely because of where they started should always be done away with, give them a chance to prove themselves as more than just a boyband member. Also nice to see another northerner around as someone from Yorkshire.
