[서울=RNX뉴스] 강은혜 기자 = Harry Styles Wanted to Become a Physiotherapist.

The former One Direction star became a musician because he was told there were "no jobs in physiotherapy."

Styles has become one of the world's most recognizable pop stars over the last decade, but now he admits his life could easily have taken another direction.

"I always wanted to be a footballer but I wasn't good enough, so I wanted to be a physio...", Harry Styles, to BBC Radio 2

"...and then we had a career day at school and I got told there was no jobs in physiotherapy so I became a musician instead!", Harry Styles, to BBC Radio 2

Becoming a member of One Direction seems to have worked out well for Styles.

Not only does he have a successful career, former 1D bandmate Niall Horan recently claimed that he and Styles never struggled in the band.

"Me and Harry had a great time in the band but I've heard some of the boys saying they've struggled with it mentally but that's life.", Niall Horan, via statement
