Julio Iglesias has suggested that he would be up for a One Direction duet.

The veteran crooner is more associated with music and artists from bygone decades, but it seems younger singers are on his radar.

He reportedly told onedirectionjoy.com that his 13-year-old daughters Cristina and Victoria want him to work with the 'Kiss You' lads.

Iglesias said: "My daughters would be very happy if I could do something with One Direction. But who knows?

"I promise that in a year I will surprise everyone with music made with a young generation of people. I want to do something special singing with Bruno Mars or Justin Timberlake and with some other younger artists."

The 70-year-old added: "It's not easy for me to be able to reach the young generations because I belong to a classical style like Frank Sinatra or Dolly Parton."
