Sometimes, celebrity parents are just like us. Singer Zayn Malik, best known for having been a member of One Direction, recently admitted that there's one show he watches with his daughter, Khai, that makes him cry "regularly." You've probably already figured out what show he's talking about, but if you haven't, it's the popular Australian kids' show Bluey. Is anyone surprised?

"I'm actually quite a sensitive guy," Zayn told NYLON in a recent interview. "I cry a lot at movies."
He was then asked what was the most recent movie that made him cry, and he explained that it was "probably a Disney film." He said that he watches a lot of Disney movies with 3-year-old Khai, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
Zayn went on to say that Disney movies "hit hard" and that "Disney knows what they’re doing."
"I actually cried at a cartoon, I don’t know if it's familiar with people. It's called Bluey. It’s for kids," he explained. "It makes me cry regularly. I don't know why."
"They have amazing scriptwriters, and some of the stories are just so, like, wicked for parents, you know?" he said, praising the show's writers. The writing is one of the things that adults frequently praise the show for. Zayn then added that "there's always like an underlying message that they always get me, man. They choke me up, I end up crying."
Zayn's comments about Bluey hit home, and people took to social media to let the famous dad know that he's not alone.
"Oh, my gosh, I cry at bluey too some episodes are so emotional. @zaynmalik, I feel you," one person tweeted.
"Same @zaynmalik — the last episode I watched of Bluey “The Sign” had me sobbing ," someone else shared.
"Zayn and I have something in common! I cry at Bluey too!" another person added.
