In the clip, Zayn talks about being in the spotlight as a young person.
“I feel like we were so overexposed in the band…that’s why I took the time that I have to, like, not even necessarily do interviews.”
Later the singer referenced fatherhood, saying “Since I’ve had my daughter, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example to her.”
“That’s why I’m even doing this interview, you know?” he added. “I used to get a lot of anxiety around having a conversation like this.
“And I want her to be able to look at me and be like, ‘My dad’s doing this.’”
Zayn also joked that being a parents is leaking into his humour. “I keep being told I’m telling dad jokes. And I’m leaning into it. I’m just like, ‘It’s OK. It’s cool.’”
