Tomlinson was born in Yorkshire in 1990 and began performing in musicals and small television roles as a teen. After playing the lead in a stage production of “Grease”, he decided to audition for the reality talent show “The X Factor” in the UK. Though he did not advance in the show as a solo performer, he was invited to join up with several other boys’ competitors. They practiced for two weeks and took on the name One Direction before performing on the show.
Since they formed in 2010, One Direction has produced five studio albums and sold over 35 million copies. Their 2014 “Where We Are” tour was the second-highest grossing tour of all time. One Direction took a planned hiatus in 2016 and the members continued to produce music as solo artists. Tomlinson’s debut album “Walls” was released in 2020.
Louis Tomlinson has never been married. He has one son, Freddie, who was born in 2016.
