The hulking boy band star looks completely unrecognizable as a VERY glamorous woman – but can you guess who it is?
A huge British boy band star looks completely unrecognizable in an unearthed video shared by the singer’s proud mother on Monday.

The video was backstage footage from 2013 and filmed the band behind the scenes of a music video for one of their biggest hits.

The entertaining clip showed Zayn Malik appearing as “Veronica” for best song of all time and was reshared by his mother after it was posted to a fansite.
The 29-year-old singer had to have all his tattoos smeared, sported a long brunette wig and a face covered in makeup.
Zayn has to contend with a tight pencil skirt and high heels, saying, “I can’t walk like a woman, man. That will not happen. It would be funnier if I walked like a man.”
