One Direction’s Transformation: See The Boy Band’s Then Now Photos On 11 Year Anniversary
It’s hard to believe it’s been more than a decade since the British boy band One Direction was formed on The X Factor. July 23 marks the 11th anniversary of the band — Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and former member Zayn Malik — being placed together by Simon Cowell. Their rise to fame was meteoric as they quickly transcended their reality TV fame, and emerged as serious, chart-topping pop stars shortly after the show. They also proved that you don’t have to win to make it big, as the five lads came in third behind runner up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardie.
