OK, so it's safe to say that Niall Horan is a guy who's has some pretty impressive contacts.
If he's not hanging out with Katy Perry, he's being linked to Ariana Grande.
Then there are his social media snaps with the likes of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood (standard), Chris Brown (yup), Emma Roberts (natch), Kendall Jenner (basic), Ed Sheeran (but of course) and Demi Lovato (no surprise there).
Still, it seems there is no end to Mr Horan's impressive list of celebrity mates.
Indeed, early this morning he took to Instagram to share a snap of him and… former Liverpool star Steven Gerrard.
And it's not like the duo merely bumped into each other. Nope; the One Directioner is in Los Angeles and made sure to swing by Steven's sweet new €25m gaff (yeah, we'd make sure to visit too if we could).
Making his debut on July 18, Mr Gerrard, 35, only recently made the move Stateside having singed a lucrative contract with LA Galaxy.
He is joined in LA by his wife, Alex, and their three daughters: Lilly-Ella, 11, Lexie, nine, and Lourdes, four.
The couple's new 90210 abode – which is being paid for by his club – reportedly has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms as well as breathtaking views of the city.
Meanwhile, One Direction play a San Diego stadium this evening as part of their On The Road Again tour. They then move on to San Francisco and Seattle, before going to Canada.
Mullingar-man Niall isn't the only band-member with unexpected buddies, though. Indeed, Harry Styles and none-other than Stephen Belafonte (aka Mel B's husband) were also hanging out in LA last night.
Mr Belafonte even posted a video of the pair, saying that they were "back in action baby," – although Harry points out in the same clip that they are also "in a toilet".
