“I Used To Enjoy The Feeling Of Anxiety“
After Alex, the show host asked if he can recall himself feeling anxious anytime before he gained popularity, Zayn disclosed he actually used to enjoy the feeling of anxiety. He elaborated on how he used to get adrenaline from the anticipation and the after feeling of the same. He told how as a little kid, he loved to go on the stage and perform as it was a free space for him to go and be a character because it was not anything more than some little school performance, but as it became a more serious thing in his life he felt the pressure behind it and how people are gonna stare and judge at you.
“Where We Lived It Was Kind Of A Bit Crazy“
Zayn also revealed how he had to change where he used to live in an attempt to give his daughter a normal childhood where there were no cameras flashing their faces constantly. He said the idea of not being able to do just normal things because there were always cameras waiting to take a photo where he lived was crazy. Zayn said that raising a child in such an environment was just too very claustrophobic for him, he said that she didn’t choose this and that he avoided getting her exposure because it was a choice he made to become somebody famous.
