It's a tough time for teenage girls all over the world, as one of the favorite members of the most popular boy band of the last decade has left to pursue further projects; while millions weep, Will Ferrell's One Direction stand is clear.
It seems like everyone in the world must have an opinion on Zayn Malik's departure from the British boy band that made him a star alongside Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson following their "X-Factor" success, and if there's one person concerned over the whole matter is the "Zoolander" villain, as he shows Will Ferrell's One Direction interest.
In the midst of the Zayn-related scandal following the announcement that he'd be leaving the band, things still happen in Hollywood, and, as UnRealityTV reports, that included the release of the new film "Get Hard" last Thursday night, where the actor and SNL alum co-stars with comedy "it" guy Kevin Hart - and Will Ferrell's One Direction opinion couldn't be left behind.
As Zayn's departure was hot news at the time of the red carpet event, a reporter came up to the actor to ask Will Ferrell's One Direction opinion, and he commented that he was surprised they were even having the premiere at all since everything had to stop due to the news.
Will Ferrell's One Direction opinion became clear as he talked about how the Warner Bros. lot had "shut down completely" due to Zayn's departure, as he said that the young British singer was "literally growing" and needed to leave the band.
This prompted Ferrell to step up to say that he'd be willing to take on his place, if it wasn't a problem that he was 30 years older and not British.
Of course, the whole thing was a hilarious joke, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the comedian's deadpan manner of speech - so Will Ferrell's One Direction appearance will have to remain a dream!
