One Direction’s ‘This Is Us’ To Feature “Tons Of Genuine Moments,” Plenty Of Shirtless Scenes
One Direction‘s 3D concert film extravaganza, This Is Us, is smack in the middle of filming, but one thing we already know: the guys of 1D are looking to take the shirtless pop star title from reigning champion Justin Bieber. Director Morgan Spurlock revealed that and some other tidbits about the movie during a Twitter Q&A with Directioners earlier today (April 3).
Spurlock said during the past four months with 1D, he has learned the guys are “free spirits.” And as is customary for such people, they see clothes as nothing but spiritual shackles, which led to “more shirtless moments than you can imagine.” Spurlock went on to promise he has captured “tons of genuine moments with them outside of tour life,” and that the five members even did some of the filming themselves. Read on to see what else Spurlock said we can expect in the film.

They are free spirits, they do what they want, that’s what makes them who they are; but we’re all working hard to make a great movie – MS

We’ve been with them almost non-stop for the past 4 months, so there will be tons of genuine moments with them outside of tour life. – MS

I really wanted to capture the global feel of their first world tour, so we’ll be filming in Europe in May (incl Italy!) – MS

They love eating McD in front of me, but on the new tour they have a trainer who’s keeping them off the Big Macs! – MS

There have been some really lovely emotional moments that we’ve captured, I think fans may shed a tear or two while watching. – MS
