Calling all One Direction fans — this one’s for you! Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson became fast friends after the five-piece boyband was formed on the X Factor in 2010, and since then, the British singers have continued to redefine BFF goals.
Throughout their years on tour together, the duo constantly had the best time while on stage and behind the scenes. To this day, 1D fans are still obsessed with their friendship. In fact, some even “shipped” the boys together romantically, though both have confirmed that there’s no truth to the ongoing Larry Stylinson rumors.
“It’s one of these things that people love to buy into, but in reality obviously there’s no truth to it. Obviously,” Louis told U.K.’s The Sun in 2017 after being asked about, what he called, “a conspiracy.”
Despite the band having gone their separate ways in August 2015 to pursue solo careers, Harry and Louis have still stayed close. They may not hang out as much as they used to, but the singers will always be friends! Over the years, both boys have gushed over their experiences in the band and had amazing things to say.
“I think the typical thing is to come out of a band like that and almost feel like you have to apologize for being in it,” Harry, for one, said during an interview with Vogue, which was released in November 2020. “But I loved my time in it. It was all new to me, and I was trying to learn as much as I could. I wanted to soak it in … I think that’s probably why I like traveling now — soaking stuff up.”
The “Watermelon Sugar” singer also spoke about the possibility of getting back together.
“I love the band and would never rule out anything in the future,” Harry said while chatting with Rolling Stone in April 2017. “The band changed my life, gave me everything.
Louis, on the other hand, praised the Directioners and their passion about the group.
“I honestly think they’ll write books about One Direction fans,” the “Back to You” singer explained during an interview with The Guardian from June 2017. “Because they are so fanatical. The intensity. It’s remarkable.”
If you love the One Direction boys as much as we do, take a walk down memory lane and relive Harry and Louis’ friendship from the beginning.
