One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne mock Justin Bieber in recording studio amidst Niall Horon and Selena Gomez dating rumors!

A new photo featuring One Direction's Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson looking "hard" in a recording studio have many believing the two lads were poking fun at Justin Bieber. Considering the Biebs usually poses in such a way to show off his many tattoos and, well, act like he's some sort of rough rapper, many gossip websites think the 1D boys are having a laugh at his expense.

Check out the photo right here:

Though this might not be enough evidence to back up the "making fun of Justin Bieber" theory, Liam and Louis also posted some short and sweet Twitter messages to coincide with the time in the studio. Check out these tweets right here:

Do you think the boys were making fun of the "All That Matters" singer?

Another layer to this story is that Liam and Louis' bandmate Niall Horan this weekend was spotted on an alleged sate with Justin's ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. So were the boys adding insult to injury with the photo and tweets?

Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Though they may or may not have been making fun of Bieber, it is exciting to see the boys in the studio. Are they working on new songs? Liam and Louis wrote many of the songs off of One Direction's latest record, Midnight Memories, so perhaps we should expect some new tunes in the near future!
