Was an alien a reason behind Zayn Malik quitting One Direction last year? The singer has claimed the same during his recent interview.

In an interview with August issue of Glamour magazine, 23-year-old Malik when asked why he quit the band, said, "An alien spoke to me in a dream," reports E! Online.

During his candid interview, the 'Pillowtalk Remix' hit-maker also revealed that his first crush was Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the first thing he bought with his first paycheck was a beanie, the first album he owned was 'Tupac's All Eyez On Me'.
