Red-faced Liam ‘soft porn’ vid
SHY Liam Payne had to guzzle tequila to shoot a “soft-core porn” underwear ad with supermodel Stella Maxwell.
The former One Direction singer, 26, rolled around in bed with her for the Hugo Boss boxers campaign and admitted it got “very raunchy very quickly”.
And his mum was very unhappy about it. He told GQ magazine: “There was a lot of tequila involved for this shoot.
“And it just ended up being a lot more naked than I thought it was – and for her as well. She was also naked. “And I was just, you know: ‘Don’t look!’ “She was naked behind me and I was thinking: ‘Liam, don’t look whatever you do.’ “It was just a room full of five or six people and a hell of a lot of tequila to get me to this level.
“I was standing there and all of a sudden it was: ‘Right, OK, take them off.’ I’m like: ‘Really? Take them off? Off, off? Like on-thefloor off? Oh, my God.’”
The pop star, who has a two-yearold son Bear with fellow singer Cheryl and is now dating model Maya Henry, said his mum was not too impressed.
Liam added: “And there was a real hollow moment afterwards where I was sitting outside thinking: ‘I have basically just shot soft-core porn.’
“For one, my mum is going to kill me. For another thing, I don’t know how far this is going to go…
“That was just the first shot!
“It was a lot of fun to shoot but my mum wasn’t best pleased.
“There’s this really raunchy shot of me and Stella, and I showed my mum.
“She took one look at it and gave me a clip round the ear.” Meanwhile, Liam has revealed he “went off the rails” after One Direction split. He sought mental help following the 2015 break-up because he was struggling to figure out who he was.
Liam added: “I went into therapy a couple years after leaving.
“I kind of went off the rails a little bit and just couldn’t really figure out what was making me sad.
“So my team got somebody around to help me through a couple of different, difficult things that I was going through. “I was just trying to figure myself out. It was just such a strange course through life, and then when the switch turns off you’re left to your own devices.”
