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.
“Very sad to hear about the loss of Robin,” Niall wrote with a pic of Robin with Harry‘s mom, Anne.
“For those who had the pleasure of knowing Robin will know that he was the nicest, kindest, most generous, hilariously funny guy you’ll have met.
He added, “He always had a smile on his face even when he was battling the terrible illness. Love ya H. Please give your mum and the rest of the family a massive hug from my family.”
Liam used the same picture for his message as well. Read it below:
Don’t expect Niall Horan to get into the studio with his former bandmates anytime soon.
The 23-year-old singer, who is enjoying the success of his solo music right now, has some collaboration ideas – but none of them involve the One Direction guys.
“I have a couple of songs that could potentially be something like that,” Niall told ET Canada. “I can get to play some stuff to people and see what happens, but the whole idea of a collaboration, you know, it’s great – because like, I don’t think there’s a lot of it going on in our world anyway. Not as much as there should be.”
“Can’t rule anything out really, can you?” Niall said about working with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, or Louis Tomlinson. “I suppose right now, it would be a bit weird.”
As for his album coming out, he said, “I’m thinking October, November time. There’s a lot of stuff going on at the minute, promo-wise around the world. Performing things down in Australia, and it’s all crazy at the minute. So when I get time to stop that – or when that stops – I’ll then release it. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Niall is also up for an award at the show — Best New International Artist. He’s up against Camila Cabello, Chance the Rapper, Lil Yachty and Post Malone.
Former One Direction member Niall Horan answers a series of rapid-fire questions in a new minute-long video, and he talks about everything from where he writes his music to his favorite 1D album.
Let’s start with the most important question: he revealed his favorite 1D album is the most recent, Made in the A.M.
He went on to tell Vevo that his favorite Eagles song is “Desperado,” his best celebrity impression is X Factor announcer Peter Dickson, and he has never cancelled a show because of pigeons — among other things.
The duo looked deep in conversation during their outing, and they shared a hug outside of the restaurant.
Niall wore a white t-shirt, cuffed jeans, white sneakers, and a blue and green jacket. See all the pics in our gallery!
He just got into town this week after visiting Germany and Sweden.
Niall recently revealed that it’s hard for him to find time for dating with his schedule – he’s too busy working on his upcoming album! “[It will drop] probably in the fall sometime, I’d imagine,” he has said.
