Zayn Malik sports a BEARD on a rare night out with pals at A-list hotspot Chiltern Firehouse

Zayn Malik looked all rugged sporting a beard on a night out with friends at celeb hotspot Chiltern Firehouse last night

Despite only being  21, it\'s not often Zayn Malik gets the chance to let his hair down and party with his mates.

But it appears the opportunity to hang out at new celeb hotspot Chiltern Firehouse was too good to turn down as the One Direction star took a break from rehearsals for the band\'s world tour last night.

And while most of the group barely have a whisker to call stubble, Zayn was sporting a rather impressive beard. He just gets hotter, doesn\'t he? We still swoon over his gorgeous brown eyes. If 1D ever split he would definitely be snapped up for some high profile modelling campaigns.

He was seen heading into the venue, which has attracted a number of A-listers in recent months, before the band kick off the next leg of their tour in Canada.

The sexy pop star was wearing a sweatshirt with a very elaborate black and white floral print and had the sleeves rolled up to show his growing tattoo collection.

He teamed his stylish top with black jeans and shoes and look well-kept with his black hair swept across his forehead.

Earlier this week, Zayn has hit with death threats by angry Israelis after tweeting the message: "#FreePalestine."

The star, who was brought up as a Muslim, was sent dozens of hateful messages, one of which told him to go and "kill himself" and another reading: "Let me kill you."

But the hunk didn\'t seem to be bothered by the internet trolls as he looked in high spirits heading into the venue last night to meet friends, accompanied by a bodyguard.

We think the other members of 1D will definitely be jealous of his new rugged look.
