Zayn Malik may not be the only One Direction member thinking of quitting the group. According to a recent report, Harry Styles could be the next singer to say his goodbyes as he has plans of going solo and getting into the movie industry.

Sources have suggested to Hollywood’s E Online that Harry Styles could be the next One Direction singer to follow after Zayn Malik’s footsteps and exit from the group. The source claimed that Harry’s love for Los Angles has prompted him to think of pursuing the movie industry. He had reportedly already told his friends of his plans “to get into acting” if he ever decides to quit One Direction.

In addition to his plans of tackling the big screen, Harry Styles is reportedly also thinking of going solo. According to E! the One Direction singer is already working on some new solo music with some of the famous names in the music industry. "He's been writing with other artists like Meghan Trainor, Kodaline and Ariana Grande," the source said.

Another source claimed Harry Styles has been distancing himself from his fellow One Direction singers over the past year since “he considers himself to be on a different path to the other boys.” "He certainly has hopes of doing solo stuff, branching out on his own and so this might be the natural juncture in which to do that,” the insider added.

However, contrary to these sources claims, Hollywood Life is saying that Harry Styles has no plans of leaving One Direction soon. The 21-year-old is even believed to be the “source of emotional support” to his other group members. Styles is reportedly the driving force in motivating his fellow One Direction singers to stay focus and look forward to the future of creating new music.

A source claimed Harry is happy where he is and plans to stay with the group for “years to come.” But he reportedly also wants to branch out and create music with other artists even without living One Direction. According to the source, Harry Styles will also still pursue his acting dreams while working and performing with One Direction.

Whether Harry Styles will remain with One Direction or quit the group remains unknown. The singer has yet to publicly comment on reports of his rumoured exit. Harry's last post on Twitter was a message for Zayn Malik saying, “All the love always. H.”
