    Liam Payne’s INSANE Body Transformation: 17 Pics That'll Get You Hot Under The Collar

    From an ADORABLE pre-teen to the RIPPED One Direction singer that we now know him as, take a look back through Liam Payne's journey to HELLA HOT.

    1. 2005 Liam Payne BT

      1. 2005: Way back when... Liam Payne was a mere youngster. Just look at those chubby cheeks.

      Not entirely sure what is going on in this photo but just look at how adorable he was! This was obviously before the worldwide fame was even a consideration. Picture: Twitter

    2. 2010 Liam Payne BT

      2. 2010: Didn't take him long to get handsome! The star poses in fun mirror selfie...

      ... because what else are you going to do when you're 16? Picture: Twitter

    3. Niall Horan Liam Payne TBT

      3. 2011: Niall and Liam play a game of tennis... topless. You know, as you do.

      Playing alongside bandmate, Niall, Liam shows off his bod for the first time to his fans. And we're 100% sure that they pretty much lost their minds. Picture: Twitter/Instagram

    4. 2011 Liam Payne BT

      4. 2011: Ahhhh. The side fringe is here. We mean, he looks good and everything...

      ... but we much prefer his hair slightly shorter and a little more... groomed! Picture: PA

    5. 2012 Liam Payne Body Transformation

      5. 2012: If you're really really quiet... you can hear hearts breaking worldwide.

      Having some down time from their tour, Liam and the rest of the band were spotted on a boat doing a spot of fishing. And naturally, they had to be half naked to do it. Obvs. Picture: Splash

    6. 2012 Liam Payne BT

      6. 2012: The buzzcut has arrived! On stage, Liam showed off his slim figure to screaming fans.

      WOW. Just check out that buzzcut. He really went for it, didn't he? Picture: Getty.

    7. 2012 Liam Payne BT

      7. 2012: JUST LOOK AT THAT CHEEKY SMILE. We cannot cope. Died.

      The cheeky chappy took to Twitter to rally up some support for a charity venture in 2012, but fans were more focused on his CHEEKY smile. N'awwww. Picture: Twitter

    8. 2013 Liam Payne BT

      8. 2013: Ermmmmm... Not one for us. You can cosy up to the snake, Liam...

      ... if we can cosy up to you. Sounds fair, right? To be fair to him, he looks TERRIFIED as well. Have you seen the size of that thing?! Picture: Twitter

    9. 2013 Liam Payne BT

      9. 2013: PHWOARRRRR. Look who knows who to ROCK a leather jacket on the red carpet.

      As if we needed more confirmation that Liam is HELLA-HANDSOME, he stepped onto the red carpet sporting all kinds of 'biker-boy' vibes and we just lost our minds. Picture: Getty

    10. 2013 Liam Payne Body Transformation

      10. 2013: OMG. ALL CHILL HAS BEEN LOST. Liam goes surfing and completely NAILS the wetsuit look.

      It is NOT easy to make a wetsuit look SUPER HOT but somehow the 1D singer has managed it. WTF?! Picture: Splash

    11. 2014 Liam Payne BT

      11. 2014: Sunning himself! Squeezing in some downtime, Liam makes sure to have plenty of fun.

      We're not sure if we are more taken with the pose that Mr Payne is pulling, or the view... tbh, both of them together is QUITE SOMETHING. Can we come next time? Picture: Twitter

    12. 2014 Liam Payne BT

      12. 2014: Not sure about the TIGHT swimming shorts, Liam... but you kinda pull them off.

      If anyone can pull off TIGHT swimming shorts, it's Liam, right?! Making sure that fans world-wide go crazy, Liam poses for a photo that OOZES confidence and shows off his HOT HOT HOT bod. Picture: Instagram

    13. 2014 Liam Payne BT

      13. 2014: Reached his peak! Liam Payne takes to the mountains but just CHECK OUT THOSE ARMS.

      The 1D star made sure to show off his finest features in a sleeveless, and tight, white vest whilst mountain climbing. Not that we're complaining or anything... Picture: Instagram

    14. Liam Payne 2015 Body Transformation

      14. 2015: Ah, we remember this day well. Liam Payne rocks up to Capital's Summertime Ball...

      ... and you could hear the sound of thousands of fans losing their mind when he stepped out onto the stage sporting this cool fedora. How does he make it look so effortless?! Picture: PA

    15. 2015 Liam Payne Body Transformation

      15. 2015: Because you can NEVER go wrong with a tight white t-shirt, right, Liam?

      Keeping it simple in a white t-shirt and jeans, Liam takes to the stage for one of the last times before the band heads off on hiatus and made sure that he made his appearance memorable in a tight white shirt - tight enough to show off his FLAWLESS body. Thank you Liam, thank you. Picture: Getty

    16. 2016 Liam Payne BT

      16. 2016: OH MAN. He has really upped his game! Liam shows off his RIPPED abs.

      AS IF we couldn't cope before, we've practically self-combusted now! Just looked how RIPPED he is. HOW IS LIFE FAIR? Picture: Instagram

    17. 2016 Liam Payne BT

      17. 2016: A pre BRITs selfie that has left us SUPER hot under the collar. OMG.

      After a quick pre BRITs workout, the 1D star made sure to keep his fans updated on his fitness progress and in doing so, made many us VERY hot under the collar. Cannot. Cope. That's enough now, Liam. No more. Picture: Instagram
