Via BBC News: One Direction's Liam Payne is hitting back at the scores of online commenters who've called him fat, posting this stuffed-shirt self-portrait and saying:

“I just want to clear up what the media do to people these days.

“Do I have to look like an Olympic swimmer just to get your approval into the cool kids or can I accept that the person I truly love thinks I'm the coolest kid in town anyway?

“Think I'll vote the second one ;) enjoy your day people.”

Of course, he blames the media and not the public, the ones who are making the comments.
