Niall Horan may think collaborating with his former One Direction bandmates would be “a bit weird” right now, but he definitely does share the sentiment when it comes to his friend Shawn Mendes.

In a new interview, Niall talks all about his friendship with Shawn, for whom he acts as a mentor of sorts.

“I love Shawnie, he’s the man. He’s great,” Niall told Entertainment City. “He keeps saying to me, ‘I’m so new to this’ and keeps asking me questions and stuff, he’s just a great guy.”

Fortunately, Shawn has Niall to give him advice and keep him calm in this challenging industry.

“He gets really nervous a lot and I try to chill him out a little bit,” Niall continued, “He’s 18 years old, we all forget. Just because he’s 6 foot 5 and looks like Michael Phelps doesn’t mean he’s not 18! I went to watch his gig and I watched him at the O2 in London I was like this guy is 18 years old and he’s selling out arenas on his own all over the world. I was proud of him. He’s a good guy. I love that he still lives at home as well, it’s great.”

It’s so important to have mentors in every career-path, but for celebrities especially, it can make all of the difference.
