One Direction's Liam Payne recently topped the EntertainmentWise poll and got voted as the hottest member of the band, beating out Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. This news comes just days after showing off his amazing body while surfing in Australia's Gold Coast.

EntertainmentWise asked readers who among the One Direction boy band members is the hottest one, in their opinion. Liam garnered 30.58% votes. Other members of the band such as Louis Tomlinson, who gained 25.16% votes, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik trailed behind. And poor Niall was nowhere to be found.

This is perfect timing because photos of Liam, which displayed his toned physique were splashed across the Internet recently, following his surfing expedition in Australia. Liam took a break from his rigorous schedule while touring the world for One Direction's "Take Me Home," world tour and he decided to spend most of it at the beach.

Liam was surprised when he heard about it. He tweeted about the news on his official Twitter account. Check it out below:

He added that he was shocked about the news, but thankful for it as well:

Liam has been conscious of his health and he takes time to work out and be athletic not only to look good, but also to feel good and be healthy.

This wasn't always the case because when Liam was much younger, he was always sick. This is due to the fact that he was born 3 weeks early. He was in and out of the hospital until he was about 4 years old. Doctors that attended to him saw that he had a dysfunctional and scarred kidney.

Liam had to endure 32 injections in his arm, morning and night just to cope with the pain.

It's a good thing that in 2012, his health seemed to improve and he announced to the world through Twitter, that he has a functional kidney again.

Despite his health problems as a child, he was still athletic. He was a member of the Wolverhampton and Bilston Athletics Club. He even woke up at 5 a.m. every day to run for 5 miles before going off to school. Apparently, Liam wanted to become an Olympic runner at that time.

But, fate had other plans for Liam and when he failed to get in the England schools team when he was 14 years old, he focused on his other love, which is singing.

It was a good call because now, Liam is very successful, with sold-out concerts and well-known songs being played everywhere, not to mention the screaming fans!
