It is still a little weird to think One Direction won't be touring or much of anything else in 2016 since the band members have toured, promoted and more pretty nonstop since coming off The X Factor in the United Kingdom.

POLL: Are You Glad One Direction Changed Third 'Made In The A.M.' Single To 'History'?

Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson recently took to that X Factor stage one last time before their hiatus begins and that seems to have gotten someone they worked with in the early stages of their careers rehashing the memories from the beginning.

Who would that somebody be? Well, it's John Urbano, who directed the music videos for hits "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Gotta Be You." Plus, he photographed the guys, including Zayn Malik, for their first two album covers, Up All Night and Take Me Home.

'Made In The A.M.' Cements One Direction's Mark On The Music Industry

The accomplished director and photographer took to his Instagram earlier this week and shared three photos from when he worked with the British-Irish boy band back in 2011 and 2012.

He shared a group shot of the boys, in which Tomlinson got a little silly by pulling his pants down as he sat on a toilet in his underwear during a photo shoot. Payne seems a little puzzled and annoyed while the others just seem to find Tomlinson's antics hilarious.


"As you can see, it was always a good laugh," Urbano said of working with 1D.

Urbano even shared a stunning portrait of Tomlinson. The oldest 1D member isn't always all jokes!

The director and photographer also revealed a cool shot of Styles.


The guys have certainly grown up a lot since those days, but some of the silliness still remains, wouldn't you say?
