We were lucky enough to bump into the gorgeous Lucien Laviscount yesterday afternoon and he let us in on a little secret - he wants to befriend One Direction!

Although Lucien's not had a chance to meet the chart-topping band yet, it sounds like they've made a really good impression.

'They look like they have a good laugh. They're a tight little unit,' he told us.

The 19-year-old actor and singer confessed that he's even tried to strike up a relationship with the lads on Twitter.

'I Tweeted Zayn Malik,' he told us. 'But he didn't reply.'

Come on, boys, make it happen...
