1D stars Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson caught 'smoking weed' on camera

Melbourne: One Direction members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson were recently caught smoking a 'joint' and joking about marijuana in a controversial video that was posted online.

According to the footage, Tomlinson is seen making a video of Malik the back of a smoke-filled van announcing that they are leaving Peru with a 'joint lit', News.com.au reported.

The 22-year-old then also asks his bandmate what he thinks about the 'kind of content', where he is presumably referring to the illegal nature of the substance, to which Zayn replied its very controversial.

Three members of their crew are with them in the van, but the other members Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Niall Horan weren't present in the video.

The pair were travelling to Peru's Estadio Nacional in Lima where the band performed on April 27 as part of their 'Where We Are tour'.
