Liam Payne: Being dumped is the ‘story of my life’

Liam Payne says being dumped is the "story" of his life.
The 25-year-old singer – who has an 18-month-old son called Bear with his ex-girlfriend Cheryl – has recalled being dumped by a girl during his teenage years, saying it set the tone for his future relationships.
Asked about the most cringe-worthy thing he’s done for a crush, Liam – who is best-known for starring in One Direction – shared: "I once sang to a girl at the lockers.
"I asked her out a record number of times, I asked her out loads and really fancied her."
However, the situation ultimately ended in heartbreak for the British star.
He told BBC Radio 1: "She dumped me. She went out with me because I sang to her and then dumped me the next day."
Liam compared the experience to appearing as a contestant on ‘The X Factor’.
He said: "She must have liked the singing because I got through to the next round but got kicked out at bootcamp, basically."
The ‘Strip That Down’ then jokingly added: "The story of my bloody life if I’m honest, it happens to me loads. It’s what seems to happen."
Meanwhile, Liam recently revealed he would love to play James Bond.
The singer admitted he is keen to make a foray into acting and is eyeing a huge part for his breakout role.
Asked about his dream movie role, he said: "I mean James Bond straight off, let’s be honest. I love Daniel Craig as Bond, not to say he is the best Bond ever but it’s up for discussion.
"I love superhero films so I’d love to be in a Marvel movie, I’ve always wanted to be superhero since I was a kid and the only way to really do that is to get in the Marvel ranks or the DC ranks.
"I love the idea of acting. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time."
