Former boy band heartthrob Harry Styles has all but declared the death of One Direction.
After the departure of Zayn Malik, the boy band released its fifth album, Made in the A.M., in 2015. The remaining members—Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Styles and Louis Tomlinson—have not officially disbanded, but then again, neither did super groups N’Sync or Destiny’s Child…good luck getting Justin Timberlake or Beyonce back on stage with their former groups.
Three members have even gone on to signed solo contracts, making a reunion seem even less likely.
Unlike Malik, who left the group bitterly, Styles insists he has zero regrets about his six-year stint with One Direction. “The nice thing for me is that I’m not coming away from the band feeling like I wasn’t able to do what I wanted to do. I loved it and it was what I wanted but I’m enjoying writing at the moment; trying new things,” he explains. “I’ve been asking myself, ‘What do I want to say?'”
Styles—who has a role in Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming World War II drama Dunkirk—is grateful he can finally pursue his individual interests, and is trying to start a movie career. “I’m enjoying working right now, and if you’re working you should make the most of it. I’m enjoying being in the studio and doing this movie and I’m not too bothered about going on vacation. I feel pretty lucky right now,” he says. “I feel good about everything that happened with the band. I have no complaints or regrets.”
As magnanimous as Harry was about the One Direction split, it’s clear the hiatus is now for good.
Reading between the lines of his rhetoric made that much apparent.
