Singer Liam Payne has revealed that his level of fame can be overwhelming most of the time, so it's always a great relief and welcome break when he is able to spend time in public without people recognising him.

Speaking to the British edition of Cosmopolitan magazine, the heartthrob explained that he really loves being able to walk around unnoticed and cherishes those moments because they're rare:

"I actually really like being undercover. Not under covers, although that does make me happy too. But, like, when I was in [New York toy store] FAO Schwarz and literally no one came up to me; I was just walking around with everyone completely unaware."

"It was really nice. Until this guy came over to me and was like, 'Hey man, where'd you score the corn?' He just wanted to know where to get popcorn! I was like, 'Over there!'"
