The One Direction lads have been talking man crushes. And we’re not talking those fan fiction mock ups either.

Louis Tomlinson even has two. ‘David Beckham is just a cool, cool guy,” he said. “But I saw Russell Brand on Jonathan Ross and he just speaks so incredibly. I look up to him, he’s cool.”

Niall Horan, meanwhile, appreciates a bit of Jonny Depp, saying he’s “pretty sick and he’s a really nice fella, too.”

The admissions are part of the band’s support for people struggling with their sexuality. Speaking to the Lesbian & Gay Switchboard, Zayn Malik said: "Just be yourself. If that’s who you are, that’s who you are and don’t be afraid to be the person that you are.”

But who makes Zayn’s man list? “I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a crush on him, but I really appreciate Jake Gyllenhaal’s acting,” he said. “I’ve seen him in a film called Prisoners. He’s so sick.”
