Boyband One Direction recently shot individual cover photos for Dolly magazine and sat down for an in-depth chat about their careers and how fame has changed their lives. 

In the accompanying interview, the lads opened up about the struggles of being celebrities and confessed that their level of success means that it's hard to be platonic friends with girls because there will always be stories in the press suggesting there is romance between them.

Niall Horan explained: "Yeah, it can be frustrating at times – we can’t really have friends who are girls if I’m being honest… but you know people have a job to do."

Member Liam Payne also spoke about their latest album 'FOUR' and admitted that it's very personal, and even includes a track about himself and his girlfriend Sophia Smith:

"Lyrically we always try and be as relatable as possible and write about our experiences. Hopefully they’ll be able to relate to what we’re saying and feel the same as what we felt writing it. This album is a lot more personal, there are songs about a lot of different things. There’s one song about me and my girlfriend that somebody else wrote. It is a lot more personal and we had a big input on this.”
