Harry Styles says he would 'love' a One Direction reunion if it's done 'in the right way'

• Harry Styles commented on the possibility of a One Direction reunion on the "Spout Podcast."
• The band was a global success before their indefinite hiatus in 2015.

Harry Styles said that he would consider doing a reunion with his One Direction bandmembers if it was done in "the right way."

For five years, Styles was part of the British boy band with Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan. The band was a global success but went on an indefinite hiatus in 2015, a year after Malik left the group.

However, in an interview on the "Spout Podcast," Styles said that he would "love" to reunite with his former bandmates.

"I think the thought of it is really nice one," Styles said. "I'd love for there to be a time where it felt like something we all wanted to do."

Styles added: "'I think we all went through something really special together, and there's a lot of love there. Yeah, I think if there's a moment for us to do it in the right way, I think it'd be great."

In 2019, Styles told Rolling Stone that the only way the band could reunite is if "we all really want to do it."

"I don't think it should be about anything else other than the fact that we're all like, 'Hey, this was really fun. We should do this again,'" Styles said. "But until that time, I feel like I'm really enjoying making music and experimenting."

Both Tomlinson and Payne have said in the past that they would want a reunion. Tomlinson told ODE Entertainment that a reunion was "inevitable."

Styles did not mention whether the reunion would include Malik.

After his departure from One Direction, Malik was outspoken about how he didn't enjoy his experience in the group. In 2018, Malik told GQ that he "didn't make any friends from the band."

Payne was also criticized recently by fans of the boy band after commenting on his bandmates during an appearance on the "Impaulsive" podcast. During the episode, Payne mentioned fights among the band and made a joke about Malik not being "respectful."
