Do I have to answer this?

I'm excited, I'm really excited about this.

Here we go, let's see what happens.

Who is Liam Payne?

I ask myself this question every single day.

I don't know the-- I'm still trying to figure it out.

Who is Liam Payne Game of Thrones.

Now this one,

I got dragged into this before.

There's someone called Ser Payne or someone

who's not Liam Payne, but I often get compared to,

but he's the guy who chops people's heads off.

I don't think people like him very much.

I got halfway through Game of Thrones

and I just couldn't keep up.

And when Ned Stark died I was like,

why am I even watching this anymore?

I can't deal.

Oop, sorry, that was a bit quick.

Who is Liam Payne's best friend?

Who is my best friend?

I mean...

I'm gonna say my girlfriend's my best friend.

Who does Liam Payne support?

Who do I support?

I mean, football team support is West Brom

but I haven't been for a very long time,

so I'm not really a very good supporter

but that's who I support.

I support my legs and my legs support me.

Waah.

He's getting aggressive.

Thank you very much.

What does Liam Payne's tattoo say?

I have one that says only time will tell,

I have one that says

somewhere is a place that nobody knows,

one that says I figured it out

and one, on this arm, that says

everything I wanted, but nothing I ever needed

but I think that's all of them.

The tattoo that draws the most attention

is probably these arrows,

which, I mean, was just a really drunken idea

of just wanting to get a tattoo and just going for it.

What is Liam Payne's favorite food?

I think pizza, because you can just--

pizza's just the be--

you can't really go wrong with pizza.

It's so good.

Can we get pizza?

What did Liam Payne gave Charlie Puth?

I've always been quite good friends Charlie.

I mean, we don't speak as often as we should,

as he song does say, we don't talk anymore.

Sort that out, Charlie.

I gave to Charlie Puth a gift of a T-shirt

which had me, a little tiny me, in the pocket,

which he actually was really fun with it,

he wore it on stage when were performing a radio show

that we had together.

But I love Charlie, he's so, so great

and he gave me a really great song,

so, I mean, it was a good deal.

What is Liam Payne music?

I suppose my music is

R&B pop,

maybe.

I've done loads of different genres

when I made the first few records,

just trying different things out.

Music for me is definitely evolving as I get older

and also as I figure out more about what I want to do

rather than listening to

loads of different opinions about stuff.

And I had such great success with the first song that I did

and my latest single Stack It Up,

was written by the same people that did Strip That Down

which was Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac

which are just some of the best people in the game

so, I've been really spoilt for choice

on the different songwriters

and people I've got to work with.

Having Ed Sheeran write your songs

is just the biggest confidence builder in the game.

So, thanks, Ed.

What is Liam Payne doing now?

That's very specific, isn't it?

I'm figuring why you Googled what I was doing now.

And what was I doing at the moment that you Googled that?

Who knows?

Waah.

When is Liam Payne's birthday?

My birthday is the 29th of August.

My zodiac sign is Virgo.

I actually-- I must start

to get into horoscopes a little bit more now.

Is that what they're called, horoscopes?

Amazing that it starts with horror.

To be honest, I don't know a lot about Virgos

but I think I overthink everything.

What color are Liam Payne's eyes?

What's funny about this is my eyes look like they're brown

but when we did the waxwork

for the Madame Tussauds thing in the UK,

they have a thing where they look at your eyes

in a certain light

and then they figure out the color of it

to match up to the thing

and mine were actually more green than they were brown

which even I didn't know that,

so, I don't-- they're like hazel-y green, sort of.

Can Liam Payne sing?

It's been known to happen, sometimes.

Yeah, sometimes I can.

And sometimes I really can't.

This morning, pfft, forget about it.

Can Liam Payne dance?

I've been known to throw the odd shape from time to time.

I like when we used to choreography

but I just don't think it's very much me anymore

and it scares me, as well.

I get so shy dancing in front of people.

There's a stage dance which I feel like

when I watched George Michael

and it was also Robbie Williams perform,

it's like a certain bop that they do

that if you fall into that groove

then it just keeps you safe through the whole experience.

So, I've always kind of drawn myself towards that.

Does Liam Payne have a kid?

Yes, I have one child,

whose name is Bear and he is the most wonderful thing ever.

There was a whole day where he was like--

They do this thing where babies will clear fluid

off their lungs

and he was all day just going Nnnng, like this,

like growling at everyone.

And then the next day the nurse came in

and she was like,

Oh, how's the little bear doing this morning?

and it just seemed to fit perfectly

and Cheryl kind of really fell in love with it

so, we went with it.

Fatherhood changed me dramatically.

I think it gives you the chance to be a better person.

I think it also made me afraid of loads of different things

I was not scared of before,

like doing stunts and heights

and all sorts of different things,

I was never really afraid of.

Whereas now that you have a child,

your life's really not your own,

so you can't really take the same sort of chances

that you used to.

I fell like that's one of the ways

it definitely changes you the most.

It makes you switch on to a lot more stuff for sure.

Is Liam Payne a daddy?

I am a daddy.

[laughs]

[Female Interviewer] Do you feel like there's a--

I feel like there's some sort of hidden--

to do with the laughter in the room,

I feel like there's some sort of hidden,

hidden thing about it.

But I was always known as the dad of the band

so I've literally been called daddy

since I was 19,

which, that can really throw you off.

But the thing is, unlike Twitter,

it just gets more and more of people calling you daddy

which is, meant to be some form of kink, I guess.

I just don't even know what to say about it,

'cause I am a daddy, yeah, but in that way?

Am I gonna be yours?

[laughs]

No!

I'm glad we cleared that up.

It's been a long old time of that happening.

Is Liam Payne Australia?

[group laughs off camera]

I would like to confirm that I'm not actually Australia.

What, wh-- why?

Why would I be Australia?

[Female Interviewer] Can you do an Australian accent?

Not without being partially offensive

to Australian people.

[laughs]

Is Liam Payne from One Direction?

I am.

I mean, at the moment,

we seem to just get asked all the time

Are you getting back together

or aren't you getting back together?

The truth is

I think it's a matter of when at the moment.

Everyone's super comfortable doing their own thing

and everyone's really happy doing their solo stuff.

You know, I'm really enjoying it at the moment,

I've had great success doing this at the moment

which has been really, really fun.

It's great to watch everybody else

venturing out and doing their own thing,

so, I mean, it's more to do with

where some other people in the band's heads are at with it,

to be honest with you.

I keep in touch with most of them.

I think other people just want their space

and also, you know, we worked together for five years.

For some of us, we didn't really have that much in common

except for that we had a job together

and now we don't have that job together any longer

there's not really any real reason for us to talk that often

which is fine.

That's just the way people are, really,

so it's not--

You're not gonna get--

It's not that I don't get along with anyone

but you're not gonna be best friends with everyone,

that's just not the way life works, unfortunately.

I mean, watch this space, lets see what happens.

Does Liam Payne speak Spanish?

[speaks Spanish]

That's all I can say.

And I can say all the words in Familiar

but I really haven't got a clue what it means.

No, I really like singing in Spanish,

it's actually a lot of fun.

It's a beautiful, beautiful language.

[speaks Spanish]

Does Liam Payne have siblings?

That I know of, I have two sisters.

[laughs]

No, I have two sisters.

They've always really looked after me and cared for me

which is really, really cool

so, love them lots.

We have a little family group chat on WhatsApp

which is good.

We've purposely not let my parents go on it

so we can kind of just talk a load of crap, which is good.

Parents on the group chat is just not something

that anybody needs, really, especially not my parents.

We have another.

How Liam Payne?

How is Liam Payne?

[laughs]

Why, why?

I'm good.

I'm ace.

Life's good right now.

It's pretty perfect

so I'm excited about the new release.

I'm very happy in my personal life.

So, Liam Payne's, Liam Payne's nice.

I'm gonna stop saying my name, this is weird.

How to get Liam Payne hair?

I don't know, I don't even know what to say to that, really.

Just, have hair and it grows and you tshhh.

How old is Liam Payne today?

I am 26.

I went to say 25 there

because it was just my birthday but 26, I am.

And I was quite excited about turning 26.

I kind of felt like it was like

coming of age sort of moment.

I don't know.

You're closer to 30 than you are to 20

and that seems to be a dramatic thing

for me for some reason.

Everyone who's older than me looks at me like Yeah, right.

But, I don't know,

it just feels like that sort of time, I guess.

How tall Liam Payne?

[laughs]

How tall Liam Payne?

I am exactly 185 centimeters

and I only know that

because we get measured for suits and things quite a lot.

[Female Interviewer] Do you know what that is in feet?

It's something like 6.08 something.

I know that because of Google.

When you type in What is 185 centimeters in feet?

That's the kind of thing I Google.

I think the questions that I've saw today

some of them are massively confusing.

I don't know how you could think I was Australia.

I'm a person.

Or how tall Liam Payne?

Who knows?

Please keep Googling about me 'cause I really enjoyed this

and I definitely want to come back

and do it again at some point.

We should do a really X-rated version

because I feel like there's a lot more out there to know.

I'll see you guys next time.
