A fan's teenage dream of meeting Zayn Malik came true years later after they starred in his latest music video as his love interest.

Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Dumdaw even revealed some of the tweets they posted about Malik back in 2014 during their teen years - with one including: "I would kill my family to touch Zayn."

Revealing more details about the process, Dumdaw also noted in the caption that they did not audition for the role as the director reached out directly. "Fun fact, I didn't even audition for this. the directors had been keeping an eye on me & reached out directly you never know who’s watching— dream big, work hard, & put yourself out there," they wrote. @grumdaw fun fact, i didnt even audition for this. the directors had been keeping an eye on me & reached out directly ? you never know who’s watching— dream big, work hard, & put yourself out there ? #zaynmalik #lovelikethis #zayn #zsquad #actor Since sharing this video Grumdaw has received 4.9m views, 631,000 likes and thousands of comments from people who wanted to know more.
