Four Days Until One Direction - Louis

Name: Louis William Tomlinson

Birthday: 24 December 1991 (Age: 23)

Birthplace: Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England

Interesting Information:

Louis auditioned for The X Factor UK in 2009, but was turned down, and returned in 2010 at age 19 to prove a point. He made it through the first couple rounds but was eliminated, and then joined with Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Liam Payne to form the group One Direction. The group finished 3rd overall in the competition, and their rise to fame started from that moment. Louis has been a member of 1D for almost 5 years now, and has been a part of their 4 albums – him being a major writer for the albums Midnight Memories and Four. Louis is often known as “The Prankster” due to his love of practical jokes, and he has often claimed to be very immature. Louis is well known for his love of tattoos, he actually has about 33! Louis has recently split from his long-time girlfriend Eleanor Calder who he has been dating since 2011.

Why Louis is my favourite:

Louis is a very fun, jovial person and he always makes me smile with his little jokes. He often fools around in interviews and on stage, and I love this about him because it shows that he doesn’t take the whole ‘fame’ thing too seriously. Louis is also an amazing singer, and his voice is very soft and soothing which I love. Louis also contributes to charity – he plays in charity football matches and donates a lot of money and time to different organisations – which I find very inspiring. Louis also has a lot of public love for his family, and I absolutely adore that he loves his family.

My favourite 1D song:

Clouds from Four or Spaces from Four
