Former One Direction member, Zayn Malik, appears scruffy and shirtless in Paper Magazine. CLICK HERE to read his in depth interview.

Zayn says he wasn’t allowed to have facial hair or grow a beard during his time with One D.

“Facial hair was a weird thing. I think it’s ’cause I just looked old. And they didn’t like that. [And] I always wanted a beard! I think every dude does when they’re young. Seeing Al Pacino in Carlito’s Way — I needed the goatee after that. I was like, ‘I wanna be Al Pacino.’ I’ve always been obsessed with that, and I had to shave it off. I used to get a bit sad.”

Grow on Z, grow on…
