The singer further talks about his eating disorder and struggle to maintain a good physique. He said,
“I’m self-conscious anyway, but you get into an industry where you’re getting compared to every other pop star. I was in the One Direction wave, and I’m like, well, why don’t I have a six pack?’ And I was like, Oh, because you love kebabs and drink beer. Then you do songs with Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes all these people have fantastic figures. And I was always like, well, why am I so … fat?”
