‘One Direction’ boyband member Zayn Malik appears very skinny and possibly underweight in a new photo which has been circulating of him lately, starting rumors that he may be suffering from an eating disorder. In the photo, Zayn’s clothes appear to hang off his body and he’s pulled a cap down to cover his thin face. Has all of the pressure or time in the spotlight taken its toll?
An insider close to the singer claims that Zayn began eating very healthy and working out regularly recently to try and get in shape for the band’s tour, but now he may have taken things too far and is appearing gaunt:
He’s lost a lot of weight, he started to eat healthy a while ago and working out to get in shape as he had never trained before. He wanted some definition.”
The source also says the stress may be a factor. Although always some of the skinniest in the group, Zayn does look he may now be too thin or could even be struggling with an eating disorder:
“He’s always been the slimmest of the band members, naturally, but I think he’s running around a lot, getting stressed, and not putting health first.”
