Liam Payne on alleged naked picture leak: ‘I’m 100% not gay’

One Direction’s Liam Payne has insisted that he is not gay after an alleged naked picture leak.

A picture, circulated on social media over the weekend, appears to show Payne naked on a bed with another man, but the singer has maintained that the picture is fake.

Payne described the photo as “weird”, adding that he would rather “tweet a full frontal” than have people think the photo was really him. Read his tweet below:

Wow as if people think that weird photo going around is actually me lol think id rather tweet a full frontal than have people look at that

When people questioned whether Payne’s response was homophobic, he replied with the tweet below.

I’m 100% not homophobic. But I’m also 100% not gay so when somebody says I am I’m gunna say I’m not which does not make me a homophobe

The singer is the latest star to be involved in the naked picture leak scandal, which has already affected stars including Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian West and Jennifer Lawrence.

Last month, Payne hit back at articles criticising his weight, asking: “Is it wrong to be normal?” – read more here.

Meanwhile, the 21-year-old recently posted a picture of himself ‘naked’ on a boat – take a look at the picture here.
