Zayn Malik Is A "F**king Idiot" For Quitting 1D, Says Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher has slammed Zayn Malik for quitting One Direction, branding the singer a “f**king idiot”. 

During an interview with Rolling Stone, the former Oasis star stated he believes Malik has made a huge mistake by deciding to make an early exit from 1D, stating: “It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age. 

“The greatest quote was - I laughed out loud when I read it - 'I just want to be a normal 22-year-old.' Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?! Hang on a minute. You can be f**king anything that moves and getting paid half a million dollars a week, you f**king idiot.”

Gallagher continued to rant: “You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're s**t-for-brains. What are you talking about, you idiot? 

“God. All those young Japanese girls s***ing me c**k. So shallow and meaningless. I'll say this to you, Zayn, you might have wanted to be a normal 22 year old, but you won't want to be a normal 25 year old!"

Ouch. Despite his harsh words, Gallagher did offer some advice to Malik, saying: “To Zayn, though, I'd say, 'F**king get a good accountant because life is very f***ing long'."

As for the rest of 1D, the 47-year old rocker revealed that he’s only ever met Harry Styles, branding him “a good lad”.

Noel concluded: “I've only met Harry, who orbits in social circles where sometimes we end up at the same parties. Harry's not got a great deal to say for himself, but he's a good lad!"
