One Direction isn’t having the best time at the moment. Zayn Malik quit the band last week, but it looks like Louis Tomlinson could have easily followed suit. The 23-year-old was allegedly offered to get a head start on a film career in Hollywood, but it would have came at a price. He would have had to leave the group to take this gig. “There were several meetings and it was something that Louis really, really wanted to do,” a source told The Daily Mirror. It is understood that Tomlinson would have played the role of a footballer in a 1960s movie, but it wasn’t meant to be. His schedule just wouldn’t have worked because of his commitment to 1D’s On The Road Again Tour. “He loves football, so the chance to play a footballer was a huge temptation in itself, but he also loved the script and very much saw it as the beginning of an acting career, which is something that he is considering when 1D do finally go their separate ways.” On top of all of this, the singer also called time on his relationship with his girlfriend last week. In the wake of Zayn’s abrupt departure from the band, the remaining members of the band released an official statement to put the minds of fans worldwide at ease. “We’re really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect his decision and send him all our love for the future. The past five years have been beyond amazing, we’ve gone through so much together, so we will always be friends.” Could 1D have survived the blow if two of them left? Stars React to Zayn Malik’s One Direction Departure 1. Will Ferrell View Photo If they’re looking for, like, a 47-year-old addition – change it up – I’m ready. 2. Kevin Hart View Photo What?!…It’s hard for me to do a premiere with that type of news…Message to Zayn: why?! 3. Boy George View Photo Someone’s always gonna leave the band. Particularly in a boy band, you get that whole, ‘I’m Spartacus. I can have the best solo career.’ Actually, everybody always said it would be Harry that would have left. The last two years I’ve been hearing, ‘Harry’s gonna leave.’ Zayn pipped him to the post. 4. Keith Urban View Photo That’s an unusual world to grow up in, I would think. But at the end of the day, if you’ve got the goods like Justin Timberlake, you can go the distance. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. Jennifer Lopez View Photo I get it. Everybody’s different and that’s what you have to understand. I know a lot of people from the outside are looking and going, ‘Why leave right now?’ But we don’t know what it is to walk in his shoes. Things comes to an end sometimes. From what I hear, they’re going to keep on getting the great music and we’ll see how it goes. 6. Billy Zane I woke up to a real spike in [my] awareness…this whole hashtag ‘always in our hearts Zayn’…I had no idea all my fans were hysterical teenage girls. I don’t want to be nitpicky, but just for the sake of record, it’s Z-A-N-E, not Z-A-Y-N. 7. Nick Jonas View Photo There’s never an easy time to make a decision like that. I commend him for doing what he feels is right for him and you got to stay true to yourself. 8.
