As may celebrities can attest a combination of overwhelming fame, drinking and drugs will usually bring you unstuck. For One Direction alum, Liam Payne<\/a>, it was his time with the boy band that eventually led him to hit rockbottom. Speaking on\u00a0The Diary of a CEO Podcast<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the artist revealed he was very good at hiding his problems.<\/p>\n

“I was worried how far my rock bottom was going to be. Where’s rock bottom for me? And you would never have seen it. I’m very good at hiding it,” Payne told host Stephen Bartlett. “No one would ever have seen it.”<\/p>\n

When asked if he had suffered from suicidal thoughts, he replied, “Yeah. There is some stuff that I have definitely never, never spoken about. It was really, really, really severe. It was a problem. And it was only until I saw myself after that I was like ‘Right, I need to fix myself.'”<\/p>\n

“There were a few pictures of me on a boat and I was all bloated out,” Payne continued. “I call it my pills-and-booze face. My face was just like 10 times more than it is now. I just didn’t like myself very much and then I made a change.”<\/p>\n
