Cal, who's your photographer and videographer.

Yeah.

Love Cal.

Throughout the years.

And Lottie, who's your youngest sister, six years younger.

Mm-hmm.

And it's interesting that one of the things they all came back to is that you really haven't changed.

I appreciate that.

But that's what they said.

Your best friend from childhood said that's one of the most remarkable things that you're still made out of the same stuff and you've never turned around and thought you were anything more than you were.

back then when he knew you?

it's at least 50% conscious that, or at least it started out as that idea.

Because I think when you enter a crazy situation and One Direction being like the pinnacle of that idea, there's people around you that all of a sudden feel, that used to feel really, really similar, and all of a sudden they feel really different.

I'm not talking about day-to-day conversation, but I'm talking about stuff that we can relate to, problems that I might have had that I might, you know, talk to them about.

And I think that's quite an alienating feeling.

So instead of...

instead of kind of just submitting I've always always resisted that it's been really important to me and those kind of things you know hearing that and hearing other people say that about me that that does make me really proud because it's definitely you know it's definitely a lifestyle that can kind of sweep you away but I think the other side of that and getting swept away I don't really like the idea of what that might look like and I think you need people around you that are going to tell you if you're being a dick like vitally important in this job definitely

And those things, I think when you're surrounded, you know, like a lot of successful people are, when you're surrounded only by success, it...

breeds a funny kind of narrative to be respected from people in Doncaster like that that means a lot to me definitely so that's why another reason why you know I wouldn't drive through the streets of Doncaster in a fucking Ferrari or whatever and you went to school in Doncaster Hayfields yeah Hayfields where I did most of my time and then I failed my A-levels and then went somewhere else for a year you failed your A-levels I failed my A-levels yes

That was the first time I'd ever, ever got a real bollocking off my mum.
