Niall Horan is adding “model” to his résumé, it was revealed on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old singer has signed with Wilhelmina Models, joining a roster that includes artists like Maren Morris, Nicki Minaj and Canada’s Shawn Mendes.
Horan told Vanity Fair he hadn’t really been interested in modelling.
"Obviously, I’m into the fashion side of things. I think it’s part of our culture, and what we do, and my job. I just kind of like fashion in general,” he said. “I wouldn’t say I was a model. I’m far from that, but obviously Wilhelmina thinks different.
“It’s gonna be fun to see what happens. Now that it’s been put in front of me I’m just really excited about it to be honest.”
Horan admitted he would wear a suit every day if it was possible. “I love getting into a suit. I like a slick suit,” the “Slow Hands” star said. “Any chance that I get, not often, but any chance that I get to go to a red carpet, I kinda relish the fact that I might have to wear a suit or whatever, and get into the design of things.”
Horan said he admires the looks of David Beckham, Bruce Springsteen, and Canadian actor Ryan Gosling.
