We have a feeling he's punking someone...

Zayn Malik sat down for an interview with Glamour magazine, and when asked about leaving One Direction and launcing his solo career, he explained, “An alien spoke to me in a dream.”

Zayn left the band in March 2015, and though he stated that he wanted "to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight," he quickly released some of his own tunes. Seems like he was butting heads with someone!

While he didn't elaborate on the alien dream, he did dish the dirt on all sorts of things, including his first celeb crush: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. “They’re the same, right?” he joked. Zayn also revealed that he loves Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, and that he was 20 years old when he dyed his hair for the first time.
