Louis Tomlinson revealed he used to be bothered by Harry Styles' success when they first both went solo. The singer-songwriter revealed he struggled to find where he fit in the industry outside of One Direction.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me at first," Tomlinson explained, "but it's not surprising to me that Harry's the most commercially successful because he really fits the mold of a modern star." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
One Direction was formed in 2010 after each member auditioned for the British singing competition "X Factor" as individuals, but were put together as a band by Simon Cowell and the other judges. While the band came in third on the show, they went on to find massive success, performing together until their breakup in 2016.
Tomlinson released his first single with Steve Aoki called "Just Hold On" less than a year later. He found moderate success, reaching No. 2 on the charts in the U.K., and No. 52 in the U.S. Styles, on the other hand, released his first single "Sign of the Times" in April 2017, which reached No. 4 in the U.S. and went multi-platinum.
