Early Life & Education
Louis Tomlinson, now 32 years old, was born on December 24, 1991, in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, to Troy Austin and Johannah Deakin (née Poulston). His parents were both 18 years old when they had him, and they separated a few days after his birth.
He later took the surname of his stepfather, Mark Tomlinson, who married Johannah in 1997. He has seven siblings: four biological sisters, one biological half-sister, and one step-brother and one step-sister.
He grew up in a working-class family and attended Hall Cross School and Hayfield School. From a young age, he was interested in music and acting and participated in several school productions and musicals.

He auditioned for The X Factor in 2009 but did not make it past the producer’s audition. He tried again in 2010 and impressed the judges with his rendition of “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s. He reached the boot camp stage but was eliminated before the final round.
However, he was brought back with four other solo contestants, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik, to form a group called One Direction.
The group became one of the most successful and popular acts in the show’s history and finished in third place.
