AceShowbiz - Ed Sheeran doesn't think Zayn Malik will be able to fully enjoy the "normal" life he wanted after quitting One Direction. In a new interview on "The Dan & Maz Show" in Australia, the singer said he respected the 22-year-old hearttrob's decision, but he expressed doubt that Zayn would have more fun now than when he was still part of the super-popular boyband.
"Fair play to him, let him be happy," said the gingerhead. "But also being a normal 22-year-old's pretty boring... All I'm saying is, being a normal 22-year-old probably isn't as fun as being in One Direction. Just saying."
Zayn departed One Direction last month after he abruptly quit their ongoing tour following cheating allegations. In their first interview without the former member, the group admitted that they were "gutted" by their pal's exit, but they promised to continue working as a four-piece.
One Direction is now taking a break from their "On the Road Again" tour, which will continue in Europe in June. They're expected to release their fifth studio album later this year. Meanwhile, Zayn has been rumored to be planning a solo career.
