He certainly is leaving his boy band image far behind him.
Zayn Malik graces the cover of summer edition Paper Magazine and all they seem to talk about is sex.
Obviously, they cover other topics but it mostly seems to revolve around how ‘sexy’ Zayn and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid are and how sexual his recent music is.

Described in the piece as a ‘smoldering and self-assured, Zayn 2.0’, he spoke about how his album was sexual saying:
“It wasn’t a conscious decision to make [the album] sexual or refer to sex. But I just found out that a lot of situations that I was in were quite sexual situations — all of the time. I enjoyed singing about [sex], clearly.”

While speaking about how attractive he is he said:
“If girls find me attractive, then that’s a cool thing. If guys find me attractive, then that’s a cool thing as well. It’s sick. It’s a compliment. I’m blessed by whoever was up there to be who I am and be able to do what I do. I genuinely mean that.”
He also divulges a bit too much information about his relationship saying:
“We’ll see each other tonight and probably watch a film. Netflix and chill. Yeah, we do that a lot.”
