When was One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson born?

Tomlinson was born on Dec. 24, 1991, in Doncaster, England as Louis Troy Austin. That’s right, Tomlinson was born on Christmas Eve. The singer grew up in his hometown in northern England, where he is still devoted to the town’s soccer team.

He changed his last name to Tomlinson while growing up with his stepfather, Mark. The singer has many siblings: Lottie, Félicité (who tragically died in 2019), Phoebe, Daisy, Doris, Ernest, and Georgia.

He is especially close with Lottie, who’s closest to him in age. Tomlinson also had a special bond with his mother, Johannah “Jay,” who died of leukemia in December 2016. He dedicated his song “Two of Us” to his mother.

The singer prepared for his eventual music career by starring in a school production of Grease. Tomlinson auditioned for The X Factor in 2010, which led to him co-creating the boy group One Direction with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik. One Direction found incredible success until its hiatus in 2015. All of the performers have gone on to do their own musical path since the break.

What is One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson’s zodiac sign?

Born between Dec. 22 and Jan. 19, Tomlinson falls under the Capricorn sign. Tomlinson shares the earth element with other One Direction stars Horan and Payne, who are Virgos, and of course Malik, who is also a Capricorn. The only One Direction star who isn’t an earth sign is Styles, who is an Aquarius (an air sign).

Allure characterized those with Capricorn in their sun sign as “a mischievous troublemaker,” which Tomlinson fans might think fits.

Furthermore, the outlet said: “Capricorn is excellent at taking action and launching initiatives. Capricorns can-do attitude leads to success in pretty much any industry. While they’re terrific leaders, they must also be mindful of their workaholic tendencies.”

Workaholic troublemaker probably resonates for how Tomlinson fans perceive the star. He was known for his witty jokes in One Direction interviews, and was the member who wrote the most songs while in the band.

After One Direction, Tomlinson showed that he could perform in genres outside of the band by featuring on the EDM track “Just Hold On” with DJ Steve Aoki. Following that hit song, Tomlinson worked with Bebe Rexha on “Back to You,” showing off his hometown of Doncaster in the song’s music video.

Tomlinson’s latest solo success was his album Walls, which came out in January 2020. He is scheduled to tour the album in 2022, along with a second album with new label BMG.
