Despite being the oldest band member at 21, he no longer thinks of himself as the one who looks after the younger guys. "At first, straight off The X-Factor, I did think of myself as the oldest.

He likes to write music with Liam. "On our second album, we wrote the music together as a band. On the third record, we've kind of broken up into our little camps of who we work well with, and I work well with Liam.

He loves to get into mischief! According to Morgan Spurlock, director of This Is Us, "I've seen Louis climb over all kinds of things over the course of filming This Is Us. He likes to have a lark."
He stocks his fridge with Dr. Pepper. Our senior entertainment editor Dana Mathews (who wrote the cover story!) overheard him declare his love of the soda during the soundcheck at their Miami show.
He values a girl with a sense of humor. "I like someone who doesn't take life too seriously. I hate people who are a bit uptight."
