Niall Horan, one of the former members of the popular boy band One Direction, has shared his preferences for the actors who he believes would be best suited to play him in a biopic about the band. The 29-year-old Irish singer has revealed that he has two top choices: Allen Leech and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Niall and Allen, who is also Irish, have often been compared to each other due to their strikingly similar appearances. In fact, the two men met by chance in a coffee shop in Los Angeles, where they immediately acknowledged their resemblance to each other. Niall has previously spoken about his admiration for Allen, who is best known for his role in the popular period drama Downton Abbey, and has described him as a potential choice to play him in a One Direction biopic.

However, Niall's second choice is also a heavyweight in the acting world. The singer has also expressed his admiration for Leonardo DiCaprio, the legendary actor who shot to fame in the 1990s with films such as Titanic and Romeo + Juliet. If a biopic about One Direction were to be made, Niall believes that DiCaprio would also be a great choice to play him.

In addition to discussing his dream casting choices, Niall has also spoken about the possibility of a One Direction reunion. While the band has been on hiatus since 2016, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a possible reunion. However, Niall has stated that he would only consider a reunion if all the former members were "completely" up for it. He acknowledges that it may be difficult to coordinate given everyone's busy solo careers and personal lives, but he remains open to the possibility if it's something that everyone wants to do.
