14 TIMES ASHTON IRWIN FROM 5SOS WAS SECRETLY ON A BACKPACKING GAP año 

QUIZ: Do these legs belong to Niall Horan?

​So you know how 5SOS have that little known drummer Ashton Irwin who is majorly influential on twitter and sings little adlibs in some of their songs? Well we\'ve come to the conclusion (bear with us here) that he\'s actually not who he says he is and the REAL Ash is on a gap year travelling around the world.

Yes yes so it *might* sound a bit ridiculous and it\'s highly unlikely an imposter could imitate that glorious hair and those defined arms quite so well, but examine the evidence and then get back to us. 

​Rumour has it he tried to climb this tree, which would have taken a least 5 months

By the time he reached the top of the tree, he could oversee the most amazing mountain range, possibly ever

We went to New York City to find out what it\'s...

Beat the January blues with AMAZING holiday inspo...

​He also spent some time in Bali, doing back-packing type things

Apparently he met some friends in the hostel too, and quickly decided he wanted to see their nipples

The best is yet to come, we will see you in the new year somewhere around the world, let\'s get ready to rock, love you all

Ash is quite a fan of the ocean too. Same, pal, same. 

Can we not talk about how jealous we are of this photo pls?

Hiiiii! I\'m back you beautiful people! I\'m gonna post a couple of pics of my adventures 🌞🌍🌻 Had such a good time, my head has never felt clearer 🌞 x

Or of this view in Miami. TAKE US IN YOUR BACKPACK ASHTON IRWIN 

*Tries not to stare at his bulge and concentrate on how great surfing with Luke would be*

At this point we feel like suggesting a Beyonce/5 Seconds of Summer collab, purely for the \'surfboard, surfboard\' reference

We\'d like to think he built this bridge with his bare hands to help little baby goats cross the river. Seems highly likely.

Sending love, hope you had a happy new year 😊❤️ xx

Starting to imagine again... Feelin fine X @semarabeachhouse

Made friends with a random dog on holidays his name was Oli lol :)

The moral of this story is can we join this travelling crew next time they go away pleeeease? We don\'t have a lot to offer accept awkward silences and some snacks, but we don\'t really like sharing them. So basically, yeah.

Yeah no worries, just in a super successful band and living the absolute travelling dream. What do you reckon? Which Ashton Irwin travel destination takes your fancy? Let us know over on our twitter or in the comment box below, y\'all.
