Once a young boy from Mullingar, now a multi million dollar earning boyband member starring in Pepsi adverts opposite NFL star Drew Brees that go out during prime time US television show - The US X Factor to be exact. Not too shabby for young Niall Horan and his pals. The ad, if you watch below, also contains a snippet of their latest song Live While We're Young. Well they're sure putting those words into action. The ad is fun, the lads come across well but one thing jumps out at me - what's happened to Liam Payne? He used to be the most handsome one of all; now he's cut his hair and looks like he's eaten something that doesn't agree with him, causing him to swell and bloat. Too much partying? Bring back the Bieber style hair, man.
In two years the lads - Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis and Liam - have made themselves over $160 million. And all thanks to X Factor. Somewhere Steve Brookstein is banging his head off a wall.
