Noel Gallagher has given some unwarranted career advice to former One Direction member Zayn Malik, saying that he is a "f**king idiot" for leaving the boyband.

Gallagher was doing an interview with Rolling Stone when he was asked for his thoughts on 1D.

"I’ve only met Harry, who orbits in social circles where sometimes we end up at the same parties," he said. "Harry's not got a great deal to say for himself, but he’s a good lad! For Zayn, though, I’d say, 'Fuckin' get a good accountant because life is very fuckin' long'."

He also commented on Malik's statement upon leaving the band, in which he claimed that he wanted to be a "normal 22-year-old."

"It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age," said Gallagher. "The greatest quote was - I laughed out loud when I read it ' 'I just want to be a normal 22-year-old.' Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?! Hang on a minute. You can be fucking anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you fuckin’ idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They’re fuckin' shit-for-brains. What are you talking about, you fuckin’ idiot?"
