Advices One Direction fans

Gives Talk0 Comments

Hawkins advises One Direction fans who are distraught due to Malik leaving the band during his talk at Sydney Opera House.

My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay close attention to the study of theoretical physics. Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes…It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another different universe and in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.
