Louis Tomlinson finally admitted something that fans had probably known for some time now: One Direction’s “Steal Your Girlfriend” music video is “pretty weird.”
Directioners started doing the math after a photo of Tomlinson holding a monkey made the rounds on social media. Sure, a monkey doesn’t automatically indicate unchecked tomfoolery, but it’s a pretty solid sign. When photos surfaced of Zayn Malik sandwiched between two sumo wrestlers, the clip’s silliness became much more apparent.
Of course, this isn’t the first time 1D have splashed around in the goofy end of the swimming pool. Louis and the guys previously fiddled with ridiculousness for “Midnight Memories,” a clip fans probably know all too well. Is it so surprising that Tomlinson recently admitted that “Steal Your Girl” is a pretty weird? Eh, not really.

Louis is also hoping people are spending their hard-earned money on the “Steal Your Girl” single. He teased that purchasing the tune will increase the odds of winning the lottery, a statement no one in their right mind should take seriously. Then again, stranger things have certainly happened. Check out some of his recent tweets below.

The Inquisitr previously reported that One Direction intends to release their fourth album this November, which is just in time for the holidays. The album of their time: Four . That’s almost like naming your dog “Dog,” but we’re willing to give the guys a break.
The guys released a statement shortly after announcing the November 17 release date.
“We’ve worked incredibly hard writing and recording [‘Four’] whilst we’ve been on the road and we couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you, you guys mean the world to us.”
Are you surprised that Louis Tomlinson described the “Steal Your Girl” video as “pretty weird”? Do you plan to check out the clip when it debuts on October 24?
