Would One Direction be the same without Harry Styles? There has been speculation about the 1D singer's future, claiming that he is hoping to leave the band to strive a path on his own.

The latest claims of Styles going solo all started when he recently purchased a property in Hollywood, also suggesting that he wants to move into acting. "Harry prefers L.A. because he could be a real star over there," a source said. "He wants a solo career like Justin Timberlake's."

"He's already been writing for Kodaline and [The X Factor U.S.A. winners] Alex and Sierra, and recording solo demos," the source continued. "He wants to act, too, and he can't get the real gig if he stays in a boyband that 12-year-olds like. He loves 1D, but he feels it could limit his longevity. He asked Kendall [Jenner]: 'How many boybands do you know that keep going for more than five years?'"

Another reason why the Midnight Memories singer wants to relocate is his on-and-off relationship with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star. Harry Styles has been also spending quite a lot of time in Los Angeles to meet some of the important people in the industry.

"Harry's making connections -- he's not taken seriously in the U.S. yet and he wants desperately to change that," the source added. "He has the big picture in mind and his bandmates know it. It's a matter of time before he goes solo."
