There was one time on the tube in London- the underground- and there was a girl sitting opposite me and I could tell if I stare- if I looked at her, she was gonna know who I was.. so I just kinda.. I stayed.. I kept my head down like that and then I was getting off.. thank God I was getting off coz my anxiety levels were just about to go through the roof as I was sitting there.. yeah I was on my own.. yeah and I was on the edge of the seat and I was just getting out the door just here and kinda got up and swung my body around the pole like that to get out the door and all I heard was OH MY GOD NIALL and just as I was getting off, I was like WHOA-OH GOD and then I get out, the doors closed really quick before she could get off..

Int: I have a couple of friends from Mullingar, and I heard a
rumour that a couple of years ago you were down in [pub] Con’s for a Christmas
party, and there was a house party going off but your security guard wouldn’t
let you go so you tried to sneak out the bathroom window in the pub. Is that
true or false?

All his self-discovery aside, Horan remains close with his bandmates. “I see Louis and [his son] little Freddie all the time. He lives around the corner from me [in Los Angeles],” he says. He picked up gifts for Payne’s month-old boy that he hasn’t been able to present yet, because their ­schedules haven’t aligned. He planned to see Styles when the lanky star was in town for a ­weeklong residency on The Late Late Show With James Corden and genuinely gushes about his April episode of Saturday Night Live: “I loved his brilliant impression of Mick Jagger” in the Family Feud sketch, he says. As for his musical performances, he adds, “I really enjoyed them. He’s smashin’ it.”
