It comes as Zayn made a musical comeback late last year when he celebrated his 80th birthday.
And it could be a busy 2023 for Zayn, who has reportedly landed his debut film role in the animated film 10 Lives, according to Variety.
The singer-songwriter has joined a cast that includes Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley and three-time BAFTA winner Mo Gilligan.
Derry Girl star Dylan Llewellyn and Hotel Rwanda’s Sophie Okonedo will also voice characters in the new film.

Variety describes 10 Lives as the story of a “spoiled and selfish cat” who gets a tenth life after wasting her first nine.
Zayn is a father of one and shares daughter Khai, two, with model Gigi Hadid.
Having been on and off since 2016, Hadid confirmed during an April 2020 interview with Jimmy Fallon that she’s expecting a child with the former One Direction singer.
In September 2020, the couple welcomed their daughter through natural home birth and later shared that her name was Khai.
