Zayn's situation seems more tortured than that. He's not doing this to be more famous; he's doing it to be less famous. Unfortunately for Malik, chances are that the execs and business people behind the One Direction money machine won't let him get his way.

This whole spectacle is so interesting, not because it's dramatic or because thousands of girls are crying right now. It's interesting because we're so used to people angling for fame. It's rare when someone begs the world to take it back.\u003c/p>\n\n",
