Liam Payne's band One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010
When One Direction's Liam Payne first auditioned for The X Factor, we instantly fell in love with his floppy Justin Bieber-style 'do. 

But one year on, he's got a hot new look and it's 19-year-old Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner who can take the credit. 

'It's inspired by that guy in Twilight,' explains Liam. 'I modelled it on his.'

The 18-year-old chart-topper decided to ditch his beloved straighteners and go for the chop because he kept getting compared to curly-haired band mate Harry Styles.

'I was sick of everyone telling me that I looked like Harry,' Liam tells The Mirror.

Well, we think he looks fab!
