One Direction’s ‘History’ Video Had Another Ending - But It Was Cut

You know the emotional rollercoaster that is One Direction’s ‘History’ video, which is packed with fetus footage and ends with the boys going in different directions, making us cry forever and ever?


It’s a silly question, we know. You guys, like us, probably know that video like that back of your hand now.

Well, wipe those tears away caused by THAT ending, because the directors - Ben Winston, Calvin Aurand and Gabe Turner - have been having a chat about it all, revealing that there was actually another ending to the video which will make you feel all the feels.

Speaking to MTV, Ben explained: “Well actually, I see that a bit too much has been read into that one. 


“I think too much has been read into that ending where they walk off in different directions. Because actually, they do run back together at the end. But I don’t know why… Gabe, why did we cut that last shot where they run back together at the end?”

Gabe replied: “It just didn’t look that great. But there certainly wasn’t any… it wasn’t supposed to be them walking off, it was just kind of like an, ‘OK, see you in a bit, guys!’

Ben then added: “Yeah, we probably should’ve included that ending, because people have read into it.”

Be gone, split rumours.

Insisting they’ve always been like brothers since day one (obviously), Calvin said it was like a ‘celebration’ on set.

He said: “And at their last show in Sheffield, it was too. A big group of people from their camp got them riled up onstage during the last show and it wasn’t something that was sad; it was something that was happy.
