We’ve heard who straight guys would go gay for, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect, but what about the ambiguously straight pop nuggets of the world? Surely they must have man crushes of their own.
The man-boys of One Direction have put our curiosity to rest by dishing on their same-sex admirations. Here’s what they had to say:
Zayn Malik — Jake Gyllenhaal
“I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a crush on him, but I really appreciate Jake Gyllenhaal’s acting. I’ve seen him in a film called Prisoners. He’s so sick.”
Louis Tomlinson — David Beckham and Russel Brand
“David Beckham is just a cool, cool guy but I saw Russell Brand on Jonathan Ross and he just speaks so incredibly. I look up to him, he’s cool.”
Niall Horan — Johnny Depp
“Johnny Depp is pretty sick and he’s a really nice fella too.”
Zayn also had this message for their gay fans:
“Just be yourself. If that’s who you are, that’s who you are and don’t be afraid to be the person that you are.”
There you have it. Jake Gyllenhaal is sick. Jonny Depp is sick (and nice). And David Beckham and Russell Brand are cool. All the news that’s fit to print.

Those are pretty good choices. Hoped to hear from Harry. It would be nice if he said, “Ian McKellen, he’s wonderful” — One Direction and Sir Ian were on the Graham Norton Show, and there was a special moment.

I’m so glad I read this article. I just feel so much more informed now.

Notice that homophobic bigot Liam Payne didn’t say who his favorite guy was. Coincidence? I think not.

@KM201: I’ll politely take from your comment to be mostly coming from a non-fan of one direction. The 1D guys often break into 2 groups for interviews simply because when doing interviews altogether, they often talk to and over each other leaving some of their fans playing catch up and many interviewers with the hard job of getting 5 riled up, rowdy guys to pay attention in the interview. Then, gracious me, if mid-interview they choose to throw in their inside jokes which even their most dedicated fans at times fail to understand. Often times, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson (the rebellious clique) pair up with either Liam Payne or Niall Horan but if the two pair up with Liam, poor Zayn won’t have room to squeeze in a few words seeing as both Louis and Liam are very talkative than the introvert, quiet Zayn. Niall is a better pairing being less talkative and can at times be quiet who mostly resorts to frequently laughing, playing with his sideburns/rips in his jeans or his awful nail biting habit and sometimes fidgets.
As to Liam Payne being a homophobic bigot?
It’s disappointing you are grossly misinformed, which I’ll kindly assume is because you’re likely largely ignorant of one direction and their member updates. There is none of the 1D guys who is homophobic. Unfortunately, Liam came across(during his time-off) a TV reality series called Duck Dynasty as a first-time viewer without prior knowledge about the show or it’s members, something his own sister in his defence shed light on. This is no more different to how non-1D fans with bias, pre-judge one direction, without beforehand trying to know them or someone becoming a first-time viewer of The Kardashians, without knowing about Kim’s sextape. Then, he tweeted to liking the show not knowing one of the family’s member is homophobic which is like anyone saying they like The Kardashians unaware of their not-clothed antics and more. I,myself, never heard of the Duck Dynasty series nor the ins and outs of its members until Liam tweeted about enjoying the show and the resulting backlash towards him because of its homophobic cast member. I don’t follow any reality series simply because I’ve little desire to watch someone’s private life and only got to know “The Kardashians” at the end of last year due to their frequent feature on the Daily Mail.
Yes, Liam Payne of 1D did get friendly with some of the Duck’s show family members but tweeted that just because he likes the Duck’s show doesn’t mean he agrees with all they do. Plus after an alleged nude photo, showing him being intimate with another man(at a time he was in a committed relationship with girlfriend Sophia Smith) were doing the rounds on the internet that made several media channels, the public speculate about his sexuality he went on to tweet this on his twitter account to set the record crystal clear on 21/September/2014:
“Wow as if people think that weird photo going around is actually me lol think id rather tweet a full frontal than have people look at that”

I’m 100% not homophobic. But I’m also 100% not gay so when somebody says I am I’m gunna say I’m not which does not make me a homophobe.

I hope this gets to clear up whatever misinformed news you came across. You don’t have to like the guy, one direction nor their music but in the end no one should be subjected to a distorted reputation without a fair chance to speak their side of the story or be spoken for. No one enjoys being lied about something neither you, me nor he can contain due to media sensationalism and enjoyment of uncaring poking fun at people’s reputation.
I bid you good day and wish you happy holidays.

@KM201: Maybe he just realized how incredibly stupid this all was.

@Lucky R: Wow. I’m impressed that you care that much. Of all things to write a full page over. Lol

Jake? Solid good choice.
Beckham & Brand? Surprising to hear, but still good choices.
But no Channing Tatum at all? They’re clueless to life itself.

@Stache99: I had a couple of thoughts to share in regards to @Lucky R, but decided that I don’t want to sound as much of a no life as he/she does. I’ll just leave it at the type of people who associate with bigots like the Robertson’s are as bad as the people who associate with the Cameron’s or the Duggar’s. No excuses from deluded tweens will change that.

@Lucky R: …or is he just one more homophobic bigot that forgot to shut the barn door before the horses got out. What side he is on is pretty clear. Are you a huge 1D fan, because you seem to be such an apologist for the one that likes Duck Dynasty?
They somehow sold three shows at the Rose Bowl yet I have no interest in them.

@Saint Law: Mad about something bitch?
Oh, and thank you for proving that the consistency of your kind of cowardice sentiment only resembles that of hate crime prejudice. Which is still too bad for rascist fucks like you, because I do enjoying taking the law into my own hands! But then no wonder you hate gay people too!
You’re just mad, because they didn’t mention your hero David Duke! Or is it full-on Hitler now? Ha ha ha! Coward bitch!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@Lucky R: You really need to run real quick like to the Clue Store, cause its so very obvious you do not possess a single one……
Liam Payne is a homophobic bigoted vile little pig. He defended the Schmuck Dynasty’s abhorrent pedophile pig patriach Phil tweeting “huge love to you and your family and the family values you still behold, big fan” That twisted old piece of thit Robertson has tossed some of the most vile hate filled rhetoric against the Gay commmunity and is held as a “role model” being touted at various hate filled events such as the “Values Summit”….
The little pig Payne refused to back down from his tweet and even after the firestorm has attended public events with that smcubag family…….
