They’ve got a whole lot of history. Louis Tomlinson refused to answer when asked about Liam Payne‘s recent One Direction revelations.
Tomlinson, 30, was pressed about the supposed “beef” between Payne, 28, and former bandmate Zayn Malik during a Wednesday, July 20, interview on Australia’s “The Project” — but he kept his lips sealed. “So the fishing’s begun already,” the songwriter teased the interviewer. “I see what you’re doing.”
Instead of dwelling on any drama, the “Two of Us” artist reminisced on the good times he shared with Payne, Malik, 29, Harry Styles and Niall Horan before the British band went on hiatus in 2016. “I’m immensely proud, as I know Liam is … of those days, obviously,” Tomlinson said. “It was an incredible thing to do, especially to do at such a young age. Amazing memories.”
The “Just Hold On” singer asserted that he’s “more than happy to talk about” his experience in One Direction as the Aussie show’s cohosts wondered whether it felt “annoying to have to answer retroactive questions” related to the band. “It’s just when you mentioned the beef before, it sounded like you were ready to stir some s–t up, that’s all I’m saying,” Tomlinson clarified.
The five musicians auditioned for X Factor UK in 2010 as individual artists before judge Simon Cowell put them into the group that would eventually become One Direction. After an impressive run on the competition series, the band signed a record deal and dropped their first album, Up All Night, in 2011. Four more LPs followed — the last of which did not feature Malik, who left the band in 2015 — before the group began to pursue solo careers.
Earlier this year, Payne raised eyebrows with a few pointed comments about the “Pillowtalk” singer and other claims about

Most Harry Styles fans have seen his "X Factor UK" audition video, or so they thought. What fans didn't realize was that there were more details that weren't shown in the original audition clip. The extended cut version of Styles audition shows his banter with the judges and the original song that he performed, which was not the a capella version of "Isn't She Lovely" that it seemed to be. The new video gives a little more context to the future stars audition.
Louis Tomlinson shared his opinion on One Direction’s first studio album, 2011’s ‘Up All Night’, revealing that he’s not particularly fond of it after 11 years.Last Monday (July 25), Tomlinson appeared as a co-host on the Australian radio station Nova FM’s program Smallzy’s Surgery, where in the opening moments of the episode, he pointed out that One Direction had formed exactly 12 years earlier.When the show’s primary host, Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small joked that he was “late to the party”, having first interviewed the boy band in 2012, Tomlinson quipped back that “the first album was shit anyway”.‘Up All Night’ was released in November of 2011, and although it earned a mixed reception from critics, it became a global smash hit. With the singles ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ (which has a cumulative 31 Platinum certificates between six countries), ‘Gotta Be You’ and ‘One Thing’, the album peaked at Number One on charts in seven regions (as well as Number Two in the UK), and racked up a total of 22 Platinum certificates across seven countries.The album remains One Direction’s most successful, with each of their subsequent four albums – the most recent of which was 2015’s ‘Made In The A.M.’, which arrived a year before the band announced their indefinite hiatus – selling less copies than its predecessor.Tomlinson appeared on Smallzy’s Surgery to plug his current world tour, which wraps up with a trio of sold-out dates in Italy at the start of September.
Louis Tomlinson isn’t a big fan of One Direction‘s first album.
Looking back, Louis Tomlinson isn’t exactly proud of the first One Direction album.
A recently unearthed video of Harry Styles’ first audition for “The X Factor” is offering a look back at how it all began more than a decade earlier.
Lottie Tomlinson has been busy preparing for the arrival of her first child with her boyfriend Lewis Burton. The 23 year old, who is the younger sister of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, is due to give birth to a baby boy in just a matter of weeks and has continued to document her pregnancy on Instagram over the past few months.
Just in case Liam Payne had any question about who One Direction was formed around and how the whole thing happened, X Factor UK is making things very, very clear!
Fans are getting a new look at the moment One Direction was formed.
Perhaps we have Nicole Scherzinger to thank for giving the world One Direction.
One Direction fans may not argue over whether the band are behind the Best Song(s) Ever, but how they were actually formed on The X Factor has always been shrouded in mystery. What is known is that Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson entered the reality show as solo contestants, but failed to make it to the bootcamp stage. This was not, however, the end of the road for the fivesome as some behind-the-scenes magic meant they were put together as a pop band and, well, the rest is history.
