Niall Horan Looks Unrecognizable In Latest One Direction Music Video

Niall Horan has aged a lot in his time with One Direction.

At least that’s what fans might think after sing the Irish boyband singer in the group’s latest music video, “Best Song Ever.”

In the lates music video by the British boy band, Niall Horan gets a makeover from an extensive makeup team to make him look like an aging businessman.

The One Directioner is seen in a pinstripe business suit, a bald head, and a scruffy beard, nearly unrecognizable from the baby-faced boy-bander fans are used to seeing.

The next month is a busy time for Niall Horan and One Direction. The single is set to be released July 22, and at the end of August the band will release a 3-D movie, This Is Us. The band is already in the midst of a Take Me Home world tour, with a leg through the American midwest right now.

While the old man getup may be fake, the road does seem to be taking a toll on Horan, who said it’s difficult being away from friends and family for so long. While he seems to be having fun with bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson, it’s clear that Niall is longing for his friends and family back home.

Back in June, the singer tweeted “Won’t be at home for a long time now! Gonna miss the family and the lads! Very limited time with them!”

It seems as if Niall Horan and the rest of One Direction hasn’t had a chance to breathe during their meteoric rise to fame. Their home lives have suddenly given way to world tours and music video shoots. There were even reports that the guys in One Direction recently hired personal assistants to help them deal with the stress of being on the road.

But even with all the stress, Niall Horan is probably more than a few years away from looking like he does in the “Best Song Ever” music video.
