Heartthrobs One Direction recently sat down for an interview with Glamour magazine in the USA and opened up about their image as a boyband and their fanbase.

Speaking about being role models to millions of young people around the globe, member Harry Styles confessed that while they're not perfect they like to be true to themselves as it would be wrong to 'play roles' and pretend to be people they're not:

"The thing is, when you’re playing a part, eventually it goes wrong. Eventually someone’s going to see that that’s not who you are. So it’s best to be yourself from the get-go."

The lads also talked about the intensity of their followers and singer Liam Payne admitted that it can get a bit too much when they're trying to keep low profiles and enjoy down time: "I don’t think it’s ever something we’ll get fully used to."

"We kind of try to stay under the radar and not tweet where we are. Yesterday me and Niall went out shopping in Amsterdam. And literally every single shop we went into, they had to close the shop because there were so many people outside. Some girl tried to pull my hair out. It’s quite mad."
