Liam Payne says Louis Tomlinson could be the next Justin Timberlake

One Direction star Liam Payne reckons Louis Tomlinson could succeed in acting.

The singer opened up to Hot Hits about Justin Timberlake, who went from a starry-eyed 'N Sync singer to a global movie icon.

He said: "Do you know what I saw the Justin Timberlake new movie….it was really, really good. I am very proud of the idea that he has come from just being in a boyband to doing something like that, but I don’t think I’ve got the talent for that. He is a very talented guy to be able to pull off that as well as he does, as being one of the best performers in the world."

When asked which member of One Direction he thinks could work as an actor, Payne replied: "Because he puts himself in a lot of roles, I think Louis would be quite good. He will sit on the bus sometimes and tell us lots of stories and he’ll put himself in the character. I do reckon he would be quite good actually."

One Direction meanwhile are about a month away from the release of their third album 'Midnight Memories', which will hit shelves on November 25.
