Louis Tomlinson (born Louis Tomlinson in Doncaster, England on December 24, 1991) is a member of the British boy band One Direction.

Simon Cowell then formed One Direction with Louis and other X Factor solo contestants Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Louis is the oldest member of the group.
