"Zayn Malik has brushed off suggestions that he&amp;#039;s the &amp;quot;bad boy&amp;quot; of One Direction. The singer, who recently bought a \u00C2\u00A32 million country home, told Now magazine that he has a shy personality.  &amp;quot;I think my reserved personality is sometimes taken the wrong way and that&amp;#039;s why people just perceive me as a bad boy whereas I&amp;#039;m actually just a little bit shy and awkward,&amp;quot; Malik said. &amp;quot;But it&amp;#039;s cool. I&amp;#039;ll take it.&amp;quot; He also denied claims he quit Twitter because of false rumours circulating about him and girlfriend Perrie Edwards. &amp;quot;No, that&amp;#039;s not what it was about,&amp;quot; the 19-year-old explained. &amp;quot;I won&amp;#039;t let someone&amp;#039;s opinion of me affect me. &amp;quot;But when I see other people around me, like my mum and my girlfriend, getting upset then it annoys me. That&amp;#039;s why I deleted my Twitter account.&amp;quot; Bandmate Liam Payne recently admitted that he worries about how Malik is coping with fame.
