You'll Never Believe Which Member of One Direction Wanted to Go Solo

With so many rumors flying around about whether or not anyone is leaving One Direction, we were intrigued to hear that one member of the band definitely wanted a solo career. Although Harry Styles and Zayn Malik have both been rumored to be leaving the band to pursue their own interests, X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger says that it was Liam Payne who really wanted his own career.

"When I put the group together, Liam was hesitant about it because he wanted to go solo," Nicole told PopJustice.

Obviously, Liam couldn't predict how awesome they would sound together, but he hasn't shown any signs of wanting to leave the band now. In fact, Liam has even tweeted the most adorable things about his bandmates, and seems to love them more and more, the longer they perform together. It's crazy that he almost didn't join them!
