Liam Payne Discusses Military Service & Whether He'd Support His Son Enlisting

Liam Payne is speaking out about the possibility that his son Bear might want to join the military one day.

The 26-year-old singer opened up while attending the 2020 Sun Military Awards on Thursday (February 6) at Banqueting House in London, England.

“It’s obviously a huge risk and things are taken, we sorely need it in so many different ways, but at the same time, it’s a tough one,” Liam said. “I mean, I don’t know how I’d feel about my son joining the military. I’d support him whatever but at the same time, it really brings it home for me when I think about my son and the sacrifice some of these families are making with their loved ones.”

“It’s an amazing thing for them to do,” he added. “I just think so many more things these days mean different things now that you have a responsibility and a child. It’s a different thing and I couldn’t imagine putting myself in their shoes, so a lot of respect for them.”
