Zayn on being a quiet guy: 'I'm a pretty sh*t celebrity'

Zayn Malik has admitted that his "downfall" is being reserved off-stage.

The singer was often regarded as the 'quiet' one in One Direction before he left last year.

Speaking in the April/May issue of Complex, the Brit said he has never enjoyed being in the limelight due to his quiet personality.

Malik said: "I’m a pretty sh*t celebrity all around. But when it comes to TV, that’s the worst. I hate the whole set-up. When it’s interviews like this, I don’t mind. I’m just talking to a normal person.

“It’s when you are fully glammed up and you’re sitting with a hundred lights in your face and someone is asking you questions in front of a crowd of people - that’s when it becomes a bit strange for me. I’m not a public speaker. I’m a singer.

“Those two things are very different in my brain. I’m not an extrovert in everyday life. I’m a performer. When it comes to stage I can sing and do that, but when I’m in normal-day life I’m very reserved. I guess that’s my downfall."

Malik meanwhile will release his maiden solo album 'Mind of Mine' on Friday (March 25).
