Your eyes do not deceive you, that is indeed a potato that Jimmy Kimmel is - for all intents and purposes - suggesting becomes the fifth member of One Direction and, by default, Zayn Malik's replacement. It was a social experiment to see just how famous One Direction could make a potato. And it worked. 

The snap, which was posted to Instagram captioned "Welcoming the newest member of our family. The One D Potato - @The1DPotato. Backstage @jimmykimmel", got over 455,000 likes. 

  
The potato now has over 90,000 followers on Instagram, and can be seen hanging out with Kimmel and Guillermo backstage.
