Birthday Special: Here's how One Direction's Zayn Malik looked as a baby!

It's not just One Direction's Harry Styles who has a crazy fan following. Every single member of the boy band seems to have a strong, loving and adoring army of fans. If you needed proof, you just had to take a look at Twitterverse, that was busy celebrating the 22nd birthday of band member Zayn Malik on January 12.

Fans of the band, and more so of Zayn, flooded Twitter with adorable baby photos of the Brit singer on his special day.

Just when most of us thought that the days of boy bands are over, One Direction emerged on the stage of UK's singing reality show The X Factor in the year 2010. They didn't win the competition, but the song that was supposed to be released had they won, leaked online and now the rest is history. 

One Direction may be fairly new on the music scene, but the amount of success and adoration they have witnessed has to be seen to be believed. The boys make the hearts of many a tween miss a beat, even Taylor Swift at one point.
