One Direction's Liam Payne stars in new animation film

Former One Direction star Liam Payne has said he was motivated to be in the new kid's animation film Ron’s Gone Wrong by his son.

The pop star has a son, Bear, who was born in 2017, with singer Cheryl.

His song 'Sunshine' features on the film’s score, while he also appears in the animation as a voice actor.

Speaking to PA at the film's premiere in London last night Liam said starring in the movie was a “great experience”.

He added he would “love to do more” acting work. “The reason that I wanted to do this job more than anything was one, who doesn’t want to do a song for a Disney film?”

“Secondly for my boy as well, to spot my voice in the film. I want to see if he gets it.”

Ron’s Gone Wrong tells the story of friendship in the age of social media. It follows Barney, a socially awkward schoolboy, and his malfunctioning digitally-connected device Ron.
