Liam Payne is looking back on the One Direction glory days and sharing some hilarious commentary
after rewatching old band videos, and he’s giving fans hilarious insight about Louis
Tomlinson.
What’s up y’all, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the
news updates from my at-home Clevver studio and the One Direction nostalgia is setting
in for Liam Payne just as hard as it is for the rest of us.
We’ve all had plenty of opportunity to reminisce on the good times over the past few weeks,
and that’s exactly what Liam seems to be doing… but you know we’re about to drop
anything and everything to hear him out when his trip down memory lane involves any new
details from his time with One Direction.
In a 9-minute video posted to YouTube, Liam was shown many different videos to which he
gave some pretty hilarious commentary.
All different clips, including their stint as cartoon characters on Family Guy to their
first tour announcement were included, but one that especially stuck out was when Liam
reacted to the band’s Sesame Street appearance.
Liam admitted that doing some appearances, specifically for that show, was a little awkward
because of the age difference.
But the video that really stood out to Liam was their music video for “Best Song Ever”...
yes, THAT music video which featured Zayn as a woman and Liam as a flamboyant dance
instructor.
This honestly might go down as one of the best 1D videos of all time, annnnd Liam clearly
agrees.
The amount of appearances, shoots and fan encounters the boys were forced to attend
felt like it was almost a daily occurence, but to help ease their schedule, Liam opened
up about a few code words they used within their five-some.
One of which helped them get out of events or doing tasks they weren’t interested in
completing.
He said QUOTE, “When we didn’t want to go somewhere, we’d have a code word and
we’d all fall to the floor and lie there until everybody went away.”
Liam explained that it was the best game they ever invented, and that this would happen
pretty frequently.
He added, “There were a number of code words…We’d do it in the middle of TV interviews!
It’s like one of those games you have with your friends – if you don’t follow through,
you’re the loser in the group so everyone would just do it.”
With all this 1D nostalgia, it’s pretty impossible for the boys not to reunite one
day, right?
I know you have some thoughts on this, so be sure to chime in down here in the comments,
but we’re just thankful that Louis Tomlinson is all in for a reunion as he recently revealed
that it’s “inevitable” for them NOT to join forces once again…
But speaking of Louis, Liam also dropped another hidden gem about his bandmate’s destructive
behavior during music video shoots.
He explained that Louis would try to break something on the set of every shoot, and I’m
torn between thinking this was a superstitious thing or just your typical teenage boy behavior,
but it’s pretty entertaining nonetheless.
Liam said QUOTE, “The thing about Louis was he used to actively try every time to
break something in every single music video or thing that we were doing.
For me, it was a constant job of trying to talk to the camera or whatever was going on
but also watch what the hell this guy over here was going to do next.
He was just going to do something crazy.”
So just putting two and two together, this could be the reason why Liam admitted back
in 2019 that he and Louis hated each other during their time in the band.
Although their relationship has never been stronger than it is now, Liam revealed while
talking to Hits Radio QUOTE, “When we were in the band it kind of felt like, because
he was the oldest and because I’d been singing for quite a bit of time we both got put in
a weird position because he was wanting to be the leader, and I was doing my thing and
wanted to.
So, at first we didn’t get on at all.
We absolutely hated each other, it was so funny.
Really bad.
We hid it well.
It was crazy.”
Thankfully ALL of that has changed, especially since the band parted ways.
Liam added, “I speak a lot to Louis.
I think, obviously, he’s been through so much and we’ve been through so much together
as well.”
So if you need me, I’ll be over here hanging out, wishing, waiting and wondering for One
Direction’s reunion.
