He walked away from chart toppers One Direction last month because, in his own words, he wanted to be a regular 22-year-old. But now it appears that Zayn Malik could be set for movie stardom after it was revealed he has entered into discussions with Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha. Gurinder, 55, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: \u2018We\u2019ve met and spoken. He trained as an actor first then became part of the band. So I think what he\u2019ll be doing is staying true to his heart – and that\u2019s all you can ever do.\u2019<\/div>\n
However, Gurinder – who is currently working on Bollywood-inspired Bend It Like Beckham: The Musical – insists she doesn\u2019t have a role planned out for the star \u2018just yet\u2019. She explained: \u2018I don\u2019t have a part in mind for Zayn just yet but hopefully in the future.\u2019 Zayn recently confessed to being a huge fan of Bollywood movies and admitted he\u2019s always been a \u2018lover boy\u2019 and able to charm the ladies thanks to growing up watching his favourite film Bombay.<\/div>\n
The heartthrob – who is engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards – said: \u2018I was a lover boy around the age of ten. I always had an idea from an early age what it was like to be in love – it was only later I figured it out!\u2019 Meanwhile, on Monday, Zayn broke a month long absence from Twitter with two tweets addressed to his loyal fan-base. He shared his first tweets since sensationally quitting One Direction mid-way through the South East Asian leg of their current tour in March.<\/div>\n
In the first, he credited those who have remained loyal to him following his decision to leave the band, writing: \u2018Wanna say thanks to everyone that\u2019s been there for me over the last few weeks, love you all.. you know who you are x\u2019. Posting a second shortly afterwards he added: \u2018The x is a kiss by the way ha it\u2019s not a mystery .. sorry to any confused …\u2019 The tweets emerged almost a month after Zayn, engaged to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, reacted angrily to claims of a fling while partying in Indonesia during a break from One Direction\u2019s mammoth On The Road Again stadium tour. <\/div>\n
Tweeting on March 18, he wrote:  \u2018I\u2019m 22 years old… I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there\u2019s a lot of jealous f***s in this world I\u2019m sorry for what it looks like x.\u2019<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
