Might Zayn Malik's newest project be theater related? Possibly. In 2018, the Associated Press reported on an interview Malek gave with Manchester radio station Key 103, during which he flirted with acting, "I'd be interested in doing some acting," Malek confessed, "It's always been something that I liked doing, even when I was growing up." Malek further explained, "I did a few school performances and stuff. I'm not saying I'm Oscar-level winning actor right now, but I'm sure I can go to a few classes and learn things and pick it up. It's definitely something I'm interested in." Could he, then, be taking a few classes?
Malek's Instagram has been suspiciously silent since late October, about a month after he welcomed a daughter into the world with his partner, Gigi Hadid. Then, the singer posted a black-and-white video captioned, "Cover Sessions." The last time that Malek dropped his own music was in September, when he released "Better," a track whose music video has thus far garnered more than 26 million views (via YouTube). He's had plenty of times, in other words, to work on surprising us with something new.
