Dave J Hogan/Getty ImagesZayn Malik might be handling his decision to leave One Direction pretty well, but Oasis alum Noel Gallagher absolutely does not agree with his choice.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Gallagher makes it clear that he thinks the 22-year-old singer made a mistake by leaving the now four-man group. In an expletive-filled rant, Gallagher says Malik should've thought this out a little bit more thoroughly.
"It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age. The greatest quote was—I laughed out loud when I read it—'I just want to be a normal 22-year-old.' Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?!" he says to the magazine.
He further attacks Malik—and other people who happen to be 22—saying that he can never be "normal" because of the success he already has achieved. "Hang on a minute. You can be f--king anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you f--kin' idiot," he continues. "You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're f--kin' shit-for-brains. What are you talking about, you f--kin' idiot?"
With such fiery comments about Malik, you might think that he would have the same to say about the other members of 1D, but it really might just be limited to Malik! Gallagher addresses Harry Styles, but actually says only nice comments about him. But he does manage to include yet another zinger for Malik.
"I've only met Harry, who orbits in social circles where sometimes we end up at the same parties," he explains. "Harry's not got a great deal to say for himself, but he's a good lad! For Zayn, though, I'd say, 'F--kin' get a good accountant because life is very f--kin' long.'"
This isn't even the first time Gallagher has criticized the boys of 1D. He previously went after them in another Rolling Stone interview. "They're lovely lads. But I've got to say, I have difficulties with people who don't write their own songs, who've got a team of songwriters who work for your record label," he said.
Ouch.
