With babyfaces, angelic voices and legions of female teenage fans, Justin Bieber and Liam Payne were often compared to one another at the height of their fame.
At the height of their fame, members of One Direction had long-running ‘feuds’ with other pop megastars including fellow British boyband The Wanted.
But most notably, Liam, who died on Wednesday night aged 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina, feuded with his doppelganger Justin Bieber.
In their younger years, one unfamiliar with the pop scene could have been forgiven for confusing Bieber and Liam as two baby-faced, angelic-voiced singers who sported masses of sweeping brunette hair swept to the side and charmed fans around the world.
But with the success came the inevitable pop rivalries as the band and Bieber competed against each other for global domination. And the rivalry became a fully fledged feud after a YouTube video showed Liam Payne appearing to make a dig at the Canadian singer.
But, despite their initial feud, Liam, previously revealed how he and Bieber eventually connected and learnt they had much more in common than their boyish charm and good looks.
In a segment on a podcast with YouTube star Logan Paul filmed in 2022, which has resurfaced in the wake of his tragic death, the One Direction member revealed he had reached out to Bieber in an attempt to end the feud, and alluded to some of the striking parallels between the pair in the early days of their careers.
