Who Is Louis Tomlinson?

As a child and teen, Louis Tomlinson acted and sang on television and in school productions. He auditioned successfully for the television talent competition The X Factor in 2010, and the show’s judges teamed him with four other contestants — Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik — to make a boy band.

Performing as One Direction, this group became a chart-topping pop sensation.

Childhood and School Years

Louis Tomlinson was born on December 24, 1991, in the town of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. His parents, Johannah and Troy Austin, divorced when he was young, and he took his stepfather Mark Tomlinson's last name as his own.
