Harry Styles has revealed he didn’t know his former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik was struggling with an eating disorder.
In an interview with the UK’s Sunday Times magazine, Styles said he wished he could have helped Malik.
“I mean yes, obviously,” he said. “If anyone is ever going to go through anything, you always feel like you should know, so you could have done something. But it’s not always how it goes, is it?
“In the same way that I don’t talk about stuff, other people don’t always talk about stuff, and maybe that’s how they deal with stuff.”
In his autobiography last year, Malik opened up about having had crippling anxiety and an eating disorder during his 1D days.
Malik told the Sunday Times earlier this year: "People are often afraid to admit difficulties, but I don’t believe that there should be a struggle with anything that’s the truth.”
