Harry Styles is allegedly changing careers from singing to acting.

This is after reports surfaced claiming the One Direction is set to follow suit of former member Zayn Malik's departure from the group.

Styles reportedly wants to pursue an acting career, and some fans claimed that the singer feels that he cannot pursue it unless he leaves the group.

While he has yet to release an official statement about the issue, fans have been adamant about wanting to convince Styles not to leave. According to them, One Direction will be left with nothing if he does decide to do so. Malik's departure was already a big curve ball and if Styles would choose to leave, it would ruin the whole group altogether.

As reported prevously, Zayn Malik has released a statement addressing his departure from the group. Celeb Dirty Laundry published his written statement via their site. "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined," an excerpt read. "But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart."

"I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world."

While fans excpected some sort of feud between Zayn and the rest of the group members after his departure, the rest of the One Direction boys were quick to prove everyone wrong by releasing a statement saying that Zayn's departure was met with open minds.

"We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect his decision and send him all our love for the future," read the statement. "The past five years have been beyond amazing, we've gone through so much together, so we will always be friends. The four of us will now continue. We're looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour."
