Louis is a stand-up guy who always defended his brother, Liam Payne. I can't believe that so many people were hating on Liam just because of that really stupid Interview with Logan Paul. People are really overreacting to that Interview. Liam was a kind, sweet and generous man.
Gotcha both. Just turned 82 and just adore him and wish I could meet him and tell him what a terrific wonderful person he is and how much so many of us adore and support him. 💙💚
I can honest say that while I love Louis as an artist I might admire him more as a human being. His resilience and respect for his craft is something that you pick up very clearly. Louis music has always had a sense of optimism that I have always admired. His honesty is always front and center and I love that we are seeing more of this in the FITF era. Louis portrays himself as a very simple man but his thought and his expression of it is honestly my favorite thing. Louis is definitely a kaleidoscope so multifaceted I really really respect him.
LOVE HOW YOU PUT THIS!!!! 💯💯 I don't know how to put this... But in my opinion, As private as Louis is, I feel like the bits we get of him, are honest. It's not a carefully crafted image intended to just sell. I respect that. Probably why his fan base FIERCELY sticks with him and shows up for him. I hope he remains honest with his opinions on his platforms, and honest in his craft. It's refreshing.
You put my thoughts into words beautifully. Thank you. I wish the interview went on forever. He is so genuine. Bless him with loads of success and tons of happiness.
Came back here to rewatch the part about Liam... It's so heartbreaking, you can feel that Louis cares about him SO much, he was very protective, empathic, and he could see what was really happening. He's in my thoughts for the past 2 days, it must be so hard for him, he truly lost a brother. And since I've discovered this guy in 2011, something about him reallllly makes me want him just to be okay. I dont feel this this hard for any other artist, he's really special in my heart and i know that's the case for everybody here.
I saw a lot of people were saying that Louis didn’t bother with Liam prior to Liam’s passing but I don’t understand how they can think that because you can always tell how much Louis loved and cared for Liam.
Louis is my absolute favorite solo artist now. He has grown so much, he is so mature, so well articulate, and so compassionate. He’s a beautiful soul and deserves the best.
Yes, honestly yes. This guy has been through a lot and he definitely deserves to be happy. I hope he makes good decisions in his life and is truly happy.

"you're going to buy him a pair of new sneakers" Louis knows how to take care of his brothers, being the protective bean, and sneakers is his love language.❤ I love how protective he is and he clearly took Liam's side as we expected.
What a classy guy. I'm in my 30s so just missed out on the whole 1D craze but recently came across Louis and his music, he's really talented. Also, as a psychologist, I just love how thoughtful and genuine he comes across, especially how he navigated the topic around Liam. What a gem x
He is so good in articulating his thoughts ...And confident enough to convey his honest opinions. Really loved this interview. Thank you Zack Sang for making Louis comfortable ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t understand how such an imperfect mere mortal human can be so absolutely perfect, how Louis is 100% a rockstar but also an example of the most wholesome masculinity. Honestly, the boost in dopamine and oxytocin his voice gifts me is on another level. I never tire of this man when he’s honest with us or cheeky or vulnerable or closed off. Relistened to this interview after a year, and I still love it. Have been playing the album both in my car and at home for a year, and also still love it. Obsessed actually. Special appreciation for the kindness to Zayn and Liam. And a huge thank you to Zach for intelligent questions and the general vibe. 10/10 even after hearing it again.
louis is out there defending liam and talkin' about zayn with so much respect and calmness. I just love him for the human he is and ofcourse his music!
I absolutely love when Louis defends his fave people - when the reporter said something about 1D fans and he said "watch what you say" to this where he defends Zayn and Liam. Hope this interview helps both those relationships grow again! We need a reunion (even if all 5 together for a interview or hangout)
@@aprilfisher4947 I think they will! I think it's still years down the road, but I trust them when they said it was a hiatus. Louis promised, so I believe he'll do all he can to make it happen!
i was never big on one direction but ive recently become a fan of louis. he’s such a genuine person. definitely one of the most down to earth celebrities out there.
I love how Louis supported Liam at that time when everyone was lashing out at Liam . He understood the situation clearly. It really shows how great,amazing and loyal of a friend he is .❤❤❤
It was nice to hear Louis say him and his best mate takes Freddie to the park. He's able to be just a normal guy while spending time with his son. And that he is still with Stanley. Before Louis even started the X-Factor, he was with a girl named Hannah, and Stan was right there alongside him straight from the beginning. Stan was able to stick by Louis's side through all the craziness. They have a special relationship.
@julielabosky Louis and Stan have a special relationship. X-Factor video diaries, Louis would say, "I'd like to do a shout out to a random guy named Stan Lucas." Louis would do live streams and smile at someone behind the camera, and fans would ask him who was in the room with him? Louis would answer, Stan. Louis would also do live streams with Stan, where they would make prank phone calls, they were so cute together. Louis would post videos of Stan doing goofy dances while entertaining him. The boys had a documentary called "A Year In The Making." In that documentary, it was Stanley that went to Louis's school and interviewed Louis teachers. 1D had a radio interview, Louis told a story about renting a private plane and flying himself snd Stan away for the weekend. He said they had such a good time they did it again the following weekend. While telling the story, Louis had the biggest smile on his face. Harry would tease Louis by changing the lyrics. He would sing, "I can love you more than Stan." There was a Larry video I watched, I believe it was from either 2010 or 2011. In that video, they mention Louis and Harry, taking a skiing trip together. But what they didn't mention was that Louis and Harry were not alone. Louis took Stan along with him, and Harry invited a friend. Also a Larry Video 2015, there are several pictures of Louis out at the clubs picking up women, and Stanley is standing in the background of those pictures. It gave me My Policeman vibes. Larry fans would harass Stan on social media. They would try to force him into saying Larry was real. Stan was getting p*ssed, he denied Larry. Can you imagine having a relationship with someone who was famous and having to put up with their fans harassing you. Stan had to get off of social media for a while. That must really s*ck. I feel bad for Stan he has to sit there and watch Louis Larrybait. Louis is so afraid of losing his fan base that he'll do anything to keep them happy.
This was literally the best out of all the interviews I've watched recently,Louis just appears a lot more free and happy and I can feel his comfort through screen,interviewers asked great questions regarding his music while also giving the interview a punch with the spicy ones.Also,the way louis expresses his thoughts,he's just so well-spoken and authentic and honest.I really loved this one.
This is what an interview with a musician should feel like. No bad aftertaste. No nasty sound bite hunt. Just genuine questions about the process, the music, a bit about how the “sausage” is being made, lots of reflection and comfortable banter! 🎉 #vivalamusic
Absolutely agree with you. So sick of the pretentious musicians talking bla bla bla rather than just being real, honest & normal. There's far too many out there who are guarded & harp on for an hour & when you've listened to the whole interview, you feel nothing & know nothing about them. Whereas, whenever I listen to Louis interviews, I feel he opens up, not even having given any personal details away, but you know how he feels about his music & his fans. He's not impressed by the fakeness which I find endearing.💙
@@natalieB325 hey! I genuinely was talking more about the fact that the interview format here resembles more of a conversation rather than a click bait hunt. Zach just talking to Louis about his music and the thought process behind it. And that’s what I meant. Musicians often put in shiny box labelled: “Dance monkey,dance.” Entertainment at all cost. And it’s just not the case here. I hope I managed to clear that up. Love xx
The artists that come on here and just go in circles, talking about THEMSELVES and praising THEMSELVES get on my NERVES. Love when they act like a normal human being and have a normal conversation. Instead of putting themselves up on this pedal stool and feel like they have to speak this foreign language to let the audience know how “special” and “different” they are. Love when they are humble and are genuine
@@piggiesmallspodcast9102 hi there! I’m not really sure what are you on about? They are being interviewed about THEMSELVES and about THEIR music and THEIR appreciation to the process? Who else are they supposed to talk about? And also, I believe that due to the long form format this is the only place currently that allows artists to authentically talk about whatever they want to talk about. Chill out mate! Go get some sunshine! Life is good!🙌🏼
I love how respectful Louis was when speaking about Zayn. It really goes to show just how much he loves Zayn and his friendship he used to have with him back in 1D. Also, i agree with louis about the paul brothers being disrespectful during that interview with Liam. That whole interview was a set up to diss Zayn, I love zayn, and the paul brothers and everyone in that interview were just gross. I was also a little disappointed in Liam as well, because at the end of the day he didn't have to answer any personal or disrespectful questions but in the end he chose to reveal very personal stuff about zayn which was not cool. Yes I believe deep down Liam is probably a good person at heart, and maybe he was not in a good place mentally when he took that interview, but I hope he takes some time to reflect and apologise to Zayn. At the end of the day i really want the best for Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis and Liam, and i hope that with time they can heal and be friends again, because they all deserve to be happy and in a good place mentally.
and this is why i think we should hold Liam accountable for his actions bc he as a grown man CHOSE to go on that podcast and chose to answer those questions and say that shit so i don't think zach was in the wrong for tweeting what he did ya know
@@Bella-wz9xw Yes 💯 hold liam accountable, but what Zac did was a little over the top and dramatic tbh. Like if he really felt that strongly about it, he could've just unfollowed liam privately? Like why did he have to do it so publicly? Like zac said he didn't even look at the bigger picture at the time I.e., Liam's mental health. When someone is in a really dark place, it's really important that people choose their words and actions wisely, and yes i would give the same advice to Liam too.
That is why Liam always say he feels safe when Louis is around whether online or physically is because he is THAT LOYAL PERSON EVERYONE wants and hopefully deserves to have.👏👏👏 and that’s just one reason why i’ll forever be on his side of the court.
Louis is a great friend to Liam. Louis is very outspoken and he's not afraid of anyone. Louis has no problem putting people in their place!!! He definitely put Zach in his place. 😂😂
i'm only 5 minutes in, and this is already my favourite interview of this promo season. i love how open and honest Louis can be here and how much we learn. the questions are so well thought of and louis genuinely puts effort in answering as eloquently as he can. love this
"If I don't get radio attention, if my record label decides that tomorrow they don't want me anymore, I have my fans." HE IS THE BEST. HE REALLY IS!!!!! ❤️🩹✨️😭
It's so refreshing to see Louis able to talk so honestly about his music and plans for the future. Thank you for giving him the space to show what a brilliant artist and person he is.
Louis is so understanding and truly still cares about Zayn! “I understood somewhat of the things Zayn said about the band” “I’m closer to being past all the things that happened” we love growth! The way he explained him liking Zayn’s video and even complimenting his voice more than once! Louis is real and that’s what I love abt him
I think what really fractured the Friendship is that he didn’t show up at his first live solo performance a few days after his mom passed, while the other boys did. But I could be wrong. But I think that was the nail in the coffin
Louis is a prime example of artist growth. Not relying on his 1D days to model his musicality moving forward, but actually showcasing his true taste and talent. Zach, I feel you. Louis is the best 💙✌️
😀😀 I agree that he's making his own music, grow as an artist.. But not relying on 1D days... Just on 1D fans, who do you think went to those concerts??
@@NannaV66 but this video is about Louis right? Not all of the boys. Obviously they all should be proud of their continued success and keeping true to the music they love
I know I shouldn’t compare but his interviews are better than anyone else’s. He’s so unapologetically himself. He is amazing, deserves the whole world. Proud to be a Louis girl. ☺️
This interview has so many highlights but the best one is the shade with the Amazon Music pillow...hahaha I can't with him and his sense of humour, Gold!!
I loosely follow what Zayn, Louis, and Liam do. I was a Niall and Harry girlie, so I’ve followed them more closely. But I have to agree so much. I don’t see interviews with him often because of that, but it totally feels like coming home when I do see one! ❤️
These two interviews Louis had with these guys are my favourite. They ask sensible questions that I actually want to hear the answers to. Louis seems trust them enough to give them comprehensive answers as well. When Louis talked about Liam and that manipulative interview with that posterior orifice, I nearly jumped of my seat with gratitude. The fact that Louis was so unturned with Liam to see that they nearly destroyed him with that horrific manipulation. I loved everyone in that room for sorting it for Liam. If anyone attacks him again all we have to do is show them this interview. I am so thankful for this to showcase how articulate Louis is with his craft, the business, Fatherhood, his life and his rapid fire sense of humour. To me these two interviews go in my Masterpiece folder. Thank you everyone involved🥰🥰🥰
@@tiffanyw6977 to tell you the truth O don't know but I am surmising it was calling Liam out for the things he said on the interview with those revolting brothers, if you get a chance to see that interview watch it a couple of times you'll see they kept Liam waiting supplied him with booze then manipulated the interview to make Liam look bad. Liam can be so unaware sometimes. That's what I see anyway. Hope you find the actual text but maybe it should stay lost because he really regrets it and we all go stuff on the spur of the moment🥰🥰🥰
@@shannonfox3351 Louis siding with any of them is awsome to hear and watch... I'm glad he waited for an interview to call the presenter face to face to say it. Liam probably should have avoided that interview, but what is done is done. Even dunk and sort of confused Liam really aprecciate Louis, they couldn't get him to said a bad thing about Louis, and not for the lack of trying, they only wanted to promote their program... they got a lot of publicity articles and views from that video... the edits and headlines were also bad, because they selected certain parts to make Liam look worse.
Louis and Zayn will find their way back to each other. It’s just a matter of time. I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other and they will always be brothers.
Oh for sure. They definitely had special bond , enough for Jay to ask louis to try rekindle his relationship with Z. Everyone can see how comfortable they were with each other. Actual best friends. It's just matter of time. They need each other in their lives.
i love how louis is so well spoken like he knows what he's talking about , some celebrities just talk nonsense and nothing but he knows exactly what he wants and he achieved !! so proud of him !!
This man is the most attractive person I have ever seen bro, his confidence, his mannerisms, his voice.everything this man does is raw and real and I think I fell in love
Same!!!! He oozes this self-assurance, enough to draw people in but not too much to come off as arrogant. He's just a perfect balance. And don't get me started on mannerisms bc I won't be able to stop ranting. He's so fucking classy, almost like a royalty. The way he carries himself is endlessly fascinating to me. He's just the sexiest man alive to me
Im too old to have a “role model” but i think he’s the closest to one that fits what i think a role model should be. I dont want to become him, but i honestly respect and look up to how he navigates the difficulties in life, how he passionately chases after his goals as a musician and how despite all this, he’s stayed down to earth and true to himself (as much as he can in the industry he’s in). Love you Tommo 💙
I love Louis so much man I was always a Harry girl but I’m at this phase now where I am slowly switching over to being a Louie just bc I just love how authentic he is like Louis has never come off to be pretentious or anything like that and I love how much we get to know him as a person now

I'm so proud of Louis. Seeing how far he has come makes me so happy. Can't wait for the album. Also the way he defended Liam and said "You don't wanna shit on someone like Liam"....my lilo heart is sobbing here.
I'm so do glad to see Louis feeling so free and more genuine than ever in this interview. The questions were awesome, as usual and the vibe what just total honesty and safe to be raw. Just wow
The things he said about Liam were exactly what I was thinking at the time and I really regret not saying it out loud but so glad Louis did. I hope he knows he did all the right things, you just can’t control the uncontrollable. Louis, you are heavy on my mind. Rest well Liam.
I love this interview so much, I just love coming back here every few weeks just to listen to Louis talk and smile. We need more interviews like this with him, so many interviewers are so rude or annoying with their questions. Zach is the only person I love interviewing Louis now, Louis is always able to be himself and honest with his answers and I appreciate that so much. I hope he has more interviews with Zach in the near future.
framing being an artist as "not a struggle, but a conversation" is honestly gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. Louis Tomlinson is so insightful and his tune ain't bad either
TBH I can honestly watch this 58 mins. video interview of Louis compared to our schools online lecture without even getting sleepy or bored. The power that Louis beholds. 🛐
This was BRILLIANT. Louis is so unpretentious, in your face, loyal to his fans & true to himself. He’s SHARP & doesn’t miss a thing but you do he’ll call you out for not listening. He explained his immersion with fans so perfectly because I’m one of the fans thinking how bizarre & strange it looked. Now I get his very transparent response. This was the best spontaneous natural interview I’ve seen any of them do. Louis is fearless, authentic & a massively talented artist. Well done!!
I really admire Louis, he was always my fave but I always saw him like this badass guy, the stressed one, idk how to properly explain. But I’ve come to realize he’s actually really intelligent and he genuinely cares, I used to think he was in the band to have some fun and get some girls, but he really loves it and actually cares so much about the fans. I love the part where he explain why he lets people touch him and the fact that he doesn’t talk shit about people choking him, putting fingers in his mouth and touching his private parts, even though it is beyond limits, you can see he really respects his fans and understands that even if some people cross the line, it comes from a place of pure happiness and excitement that sometimes overcomes people reasoning.
You articulated this one so well. Exactly. He could have shaded them but no, he knows how the media is, they pick up on sound bites and go with it, twist his words. He knows better than anyone to paint any of his fans in that light. He truly cares about us. He managed to say what was off limits without shading fans who were crossing them. He truly is very very intelligent and well spoken. What's amazing is that he has always been like this. I clearly remember him going out of his way to defend us. Knowing how the media was shading teenage fans for intense love we had for the band. He was always so smart and passionate. He always had our back.
I could listen to Louis forever. He is so honest and genuine. I liked how he answered the Zayn question plus how he supported Ziam. I also appreciate Zach for saying that he realized his mistake and apologizing. Few people have the courage to do that.
I was 11 when I became a fan, I'm 20 now. I'll admit I'm over heavy "fangirling" over celebrities, including him. For most people, I can't watch interviews this long, but this interview, and all of his promo rounds have gone by so quickly. He will never acknowledge me, and he's not a huge part of my life anymore, but there's just something about him that makes me feel whole and at ease. Thank you Louis for everything you do, and thank you Zach Sang show for delivering yet another amazing interview.
This guy just doesn’t seem to age! I remember him when he first appeared on The X Factor and he barely looks any different!. He also seems very intelligent. I’ve never been a 1D fan but having seen this and the Harry Styles on Howard Stern interview I must admit I am impressed by both of them.
I love how Louis is so protective of his boys... And open to us people who are insane about him... Love, love, love him. I can't wait to see him again on tour #Faithinthefuture
Louis has grown into such a insightful , introspective and very mature and kind person and yes hes always been a kind human but i have seen these traits along with confidence and honesty and just rawness too
It’s rare to love the artist and the interviewers equally and ever time Louis comes over to this radio show it’s magic ! Mutual respect to Louis and Zach
Who else in the world can know and understand liam better than Louis?? Like for real he just understands everything about him, his mid and his heart and he was so real when he said Zach doesn't want to shit on someone like liam and literally made Zach promise to apologize to him, he was so honest and impartial
4:48 it's super super interesting how he explains choosing artists to write with instead of just songwriters and the same time acknowledges his privilege to be able to have broader job to even think about not getting a single everytime he writes and the way songwriting isn't his livelihood. It shows incredible insight into how much he cares about creative side of his job, how much he pays attention to his surroundings (high emotional intelligence) and self-awareness when it comes to privilege. And incredibly eloquent as well. It's my favorite interview of his, i keep coming back to rewatch it every month
Loved this interview straight from the heart in every way .Louis Tomlinson is such a talented and wonderful singer I bought Faith in the Future love listening to every song is so meaningful and beautifully sung by Louis such an amazing singer. Faith in the Future is really where we are all at in life right now. Thanks for the Amazing Interview loved it so much.
i truly appreciate louis for being the most idgaf person i've ever known LMAOOO no but like, he has always been such a genuine person in all aspects !! he wears his heart on his sleeve but also is the one of the strongest people out there, his artstry goes beyond words and it shows whenever he talks about it, so eloquently and full of pride. im honestly happy for him and his growth (both personal and artistically speaking) i also appreciate that he shares his mind so unapologetically, he is amazing. also thank you zach for always making him and artists feel so comfortable, understood and heard, you and your team are a one of a kind
I think I have never been more happy to see Louis like this. He is secure, confident, honest, and amazingly happy. I am proud to see him achieve the success he deserves. His music and this album is phenomenal. Best to you.
Louis is the type I would love to be friends with. He’s funny and down to earth, especially with his swearing; it’s something I would probably do as well if I was with him. Great interview sun. 😉
i went to LA night 1 (the show zach and freddie were at) and it was honestly the best show ever and you could just tell louis was so proud of himself and having fun and especially happy bc freddie was there 🥹🫶🏽
I adore this sweet man❣️ Louis is so honest, intelligent, and loyal to the people he loves. Hearing him talk about his son brought tears to my eyes. Then he made me laugh when he was talking the fans tearing his shirt. Awesome interview❤️
Louis's personality really came through during this interview and I could not be happier 🥰 I could see a bright glimmer of that uninhibited fun-loving guy we used to see all the time! It felt less like an interview & more like chatting with friends; I wish every interview was like this! He was so open (I don't mean manspreading), comfortable & confident. I feel like he was more expressive than he's been in interviews lately; all his facial expressions are adorable! (We got more than :> this time lol) Great questions; love hearing Louis view on deeper things and his reasoning behind things! I could listen to Louis talk for days and never not be interested. Thank you all for such a great interview! Love you Louis, thanks for sharing so much and for being true to you!
I watched the whole show and I really want to say Thank You for treating Louis like this. I loved this interview, because there is no interrupting, no stupid questions, lots of very very interesting question and a good research.
Perfect Zach, perfect. We've literally listened to/watched every interview he's done in the US "together" as a fan group. You really brought up everything we wanted to hear Louis' thoughts on. We admire him for who he is & have that same proud wanna throw your love at him excitement/happiness for him level you were at in this moment with him. Thank you :)
It's just Soo sweet of him , literally like u see him supporting all the one direction members equally, and when the whole world was hating on Liam Payne (half of the fandom did which is really a sad fact) for wht he'd said unintentionally and Louis just trying to save him and he's trynna tell the world it's not Liam's fault, I really love this mannnn!! He is a real genuine person, when he can literally just go against wht Liam had said but instead he just brought up his love towards him like alwaysss... Keep shining Louis, u r just amazingggg!! Beyond amazing if it exists!!! 💖😊 I hope one dayy all of them would get together at one place sharing a drink or two and just talk Abt the time while in the band, it's just all wht we need, seeing them together again is wht all fans wish forrr!!💖💖💖🥺
I'm so so proud of Louis have been for a long time, not only is his music incredible beyond reason his voice is incredible and calming he's gorgeous and talented but Louis as a person is so genuinely kind and real and caring he is not fake and is someone you can truly look up to, so down to earth and passionate for his music and he's such a great father honestly brings me so much Joy. Love you Tommo ❤️
Louis is a kind of person I want in my real life. Such a grounded person with a heart of gold who cares a lot about family and friends. And thanks Zack for doing excellent job. This is one of my fav interviews of FITF promos. Seeing how mature and confident he gets both musically and emotionally, I'm sure FITF would be a masterpiece.
What an awesome interview. Louis is so honest, open and just wonderful. Thank you Zak for giving him a comfortable place, for showing him respect and appreciation. Louis, you‘re wrong with Change tho. We love the song so much. It‘ a musical and lyrical masterpiece❤️
“Which of those annoying Paul brothers was it” HE ATEEEEE
hahaha frrr
😂😂😂 I can't stand Logan and Jake Paul.
Louis i don't know how you feel now, but thank you for always defending him until his last breath
Watch him so fiercely defend Liam and his character is so refreshing especially after all the hate Liam has gotten even after his tragic passing
Louis is a stand-up guy who always defended his brother, Liam Payne. I can't believe that so many people were hating on Liam just because of that really stupid Interview with Logan Paul. People are really overreacting to that Interview. Liam was a kind, sweet and generous man.
I feel like I'll never get tired of watching this. The way he seems comfortable and happy to talk and be heard!! Completely obsessed 🥺
I love Louis as a person and as an artist, he is amazing. And I'm almost 60 years old. He is like a son to me. ❤ 😊
I am 54!! Love him and love One direction..haha... I just loved them! Exactly.... is a special love.
Gotcha both. Just turned 82 and just adore him and wish I could meet him and tell him what a terrific wonderful person he is and how much so many of us adore and support him. 💙💚
Louis has NO filter during Zach Sang Show🤣🤣 and we're here for it & love it!! 😂💙
Totally satisfying!😍
@@belle1109
Yes ~ Thanks so much Louis and Zach 🕉️
Just saying, this man has never had a filter to begin with. If he did, he broke that before xfactor
💚
I had to 😭😭
@@charlottemccorey8719 lol that is probably the best comment I’ve ever seen
I can honest say that while I love Louis as an artist I might admire him more as a human being. His resilience and respect for his craft is something that you pick up very clearly. Louis music has always had a sense of optimism that I have always admired. His honesty is always front and center and I love that we are seeing more of this in the FITF era. Louis portrays himself as a very simple man but his thought and his expression of it is honestly my favorite thing. Louis is definitely a kaleidoscope so multifaceted I really really respect him.
LOVE HOW YOU PUT THIS!!!! 💯💯 I don't know how to put this... But in my opinion, As private as Louis is, I feel like the bits we get of him, are honest. It's not a carefully crafted image intended to just sell. I respect that. Probably why his fan base FIERCELY sticks with him and shows up for him. I hope he remains honest with his opinions on his platforms, and honest in his craft. It's refreshing.
I agree👍
You put my thoughts into words beautifully. Thank you. I wish the interview went on forever. He is so genuine. Bless him with loads of success and tons of happiness.
Yesssss 😭
Well said!
Proud of Louis honestly. Him exiting the Walls era and entering this Faith in the Future era is a massive step. Wishing him all the best.
Came back here to rewatch the part about Liam... It's so heartbreaking, you can feel that Louis cares about him SO much, he was very protective, empathic, and he could see what was really happening. He's in my thoughts for the past 2 days, it must be so hard for him, he truly lost a brother. And since I've discovered this guy in 2011, something about him reallllly makes me want him just to be okay. I dont feel this this hard for any other artist, he's really special in my heart and i know that's the case for everybody here.
today it makes a week that he passed away... I still can not believe🥺
I saw a lot of people were saying that Louis didn’t bother with Liam prior to Liam’s passing but I don’t understand how they can think that because you can always tell how much Louis loved and cared for Liam.
Louis is my absolute favorite solo artist now. He has grown so much, he is so mature, so well articulate, and so compassionate. He’s a beautiful soul and deserves the best.
how many times have i watched this interview? YES
Yes, honestly yes. This guy has been through a lot and he definitely deserves to be happy. I hope he makes good decisions in his life and is truly happy.

Louis Tomlinson saying "i don't know if I'm mature enough" yet everything that comes out of that mouth sounds so mature to me.
"you're going to buy him a pair of new sneakers"
Louis knows how to take care of his brothers, being the protective bean, and sneakers is his love language.❤ I love how protective he is and he clearly took Liam's side as we expected.
Louis is a great man, eloquent and kind. 🇬🇧 The way he defended Liam was very loyal.
What a classy guy. I'm in my 30s so just missed out on the whole 1D craze but recently came across Louis and his music, he's really talented. Also, as a psychologist, I just love how thoughtful and genuine he comes across, especially how he navigated the topic around Liam. What a gem x
He is so good in articulating his thoughts ...And confident enough to convey his honest opinions. Really loved this interview. Thank you Zack Sang for making Louis comfortable ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t understand how such an imperfect mere mortal human can be so absolutely perfect, how Louis is 100% a rockstar but also an example of the most wholesome masculinity. Honestly, the boost in dopamine and oxytocin his voice gifts me is on another level. I never tire of this man when he’s honest with us or cheeky or vulnerable or closed off. Relistened to this interview after a year, and I still love it. Have been playing the album both in my car and at home for a year, and also still love it. Obsessed actually. Special appreciation for the kindness to Zayn and Liam. And a huge thank you to Zach for intelligent questions and the general vibe. 10/10 even after hearing it again.
louis is out there defending liam and talkin' about zayn with so much respect and calmness. I just love him for the human he is and ofcourse his music!
I can't get enough of this interview. He is so sure of himself and is funny asf. Very smart and playful. You can clearly see how much hosts like him
I absolutely love when Louis defends his fave people - when the reporter said something about 1D fans and he said "watch what you say" to this where he defends Zayn and Liam. Hope this interview helps both those relationships grow again! We need a reunion (even if all 5 together for a interview or hangout)
yes that would be great but don't think they'll perform as a band again and zayn left so he wouldn't be involved.
@@aprilfisher4947 I think they will! I think it's still years down the road, but I trust them when they said it was a hiatus. Louis promised, so I believe he'll do all he can to make it happen!
@@katrinakatrina5932 i hope so
@@aprilfisher4947 he left for his mental health so I still think there is hope. After all he is singing 1D songs 🎵 😌
Where does he defend Zayn???
i was never big on one direction but ive recently become a fan of louis. he’s such a genuine person. definitely one of the most down to earth celebrities out there.
100%
He’s the most incredible person ever
Yes he’s amazing! I mean as you can see I’m a HUGE 1D fan I love them although Niall’s my favorite and always will be I love Louis HES so genuine
@@MusicCityTVroblox exactly!! He really is such a genuine person and it’s cute cause the friendship between Niall and Louis is just adorbs 💕💕

Louis is a really loyal friend the way he stood for liam😭😭😭
yes he is .
They truly love each other so much. They are the only 1d members that still hang out. I mean they support each other when it goes hard.
what happend ??
@@vero3883 Liam's Logan June 2022 interview. Because of that interview Liam fell into depression and he was inactive through all social media.
@@miloseviczarko45 but why is zach in this???
I love how Louis supported Liam at that time when everyone was lashing out at Liam . He understood the situation clearly. It really shows how great,amazing and loyal of a friend he is .❤❤❤
Hearing him speak about Zayn and Liam makes me feel so many things…he clearly cares about both of them so much
Especially Liam. Liam and Louis are like brothers but also like lovers. They truly love each other.
It was nice to hear Louis say him and his best mate takes Freddie to the park. He's able to be just a normal guy while spending time with his son. And that he is still with Stanley. Before Louis even started the X-Factor, he was with a girl named Hannah, and Stan was right there alongside him straight from the beginning. Stan was able to stick by Louis's side through all the craziness. They have a special relationship.
@@jamiecastronova8282 isn't it Oli who is his personal assistant and best buddy from home?
@julielabosky Louis and Stan have a special relationship. X-Factor video diaries, Louis would say, "I'd like to do a shout out to a random guy named Stan Lucas." Louis would do live streams and smile at someone behind the camera, and fans would ask him who was in the room with him? Louis would answer, Stan. Louis would also do live streams with Stan, where they would make prank phone calls, they were so cute together. Louis would post videos of Stan doing goofy dances while entertaining him. The boys had a documentary called "A Year In The Making." In that documentary, it was Stanley that went to Louis's school and interviewed Louis teachers. 1D had a radio interview, Louis told a story about renting a private plane and flying himself snd Stan away for the weekend. He said they had such a good time they did it again the following weekend. While telling the story, Louis had the biggest smile on his face. Harry would tease Louis by changing the lyrics. He would sing, "I can love you more than Stan." There was a Larry video I watched, I believe it was from either 2010 or 2011. In that video, they mention Louis and Harry, taking a skiing trip together. But what they didn't mention was that Louis and Harry were not alone. Louis took Stan along with him, and Harry invited a friend. Also a Larry Video 2015, there are several pictures of Louis out at the clubs picking up women, and Stanley is standing in the background of those pictures. It gave me My Policeman vibes. Larry fans would harass Stan on social media. They would try to force him into saying Larry was real. Stan was getting p*ssed, he denied Larry. Can you imagine having a relationship with someone who was famous and having to put up with their fans harassing you. Stan had to get off of social media for a while. That must really s*ck. I feel bad for Stan he has to sit there and watch Louis Larrybait. Louis is so afraid of losing his fan base that he'll do anything to keep them happy.
@@jamiecastronova8282is that a ff? Louis is everywhere with his best friend and PA Oliver Wright not Stan.
This was literally the best out of all the interviews I've watched recently,Louis just appears a lot more free and happy and I can feel his comfort through screen,interviewers asked great questions regarding his music while also giving the interview a punch with the spicy ones.Also,the way louis expresses his thoughts,he's just so well-spoken and authentic and honest.I really loved this one.
This is what an interview with a musician should feel like. No bad aftertaste. No nasty sound bite hunt. Just genuine questions about the process, the music, a bit about how the “sausage” is being made, lots of reflection and comfortable banter! 🎉 #vivalamusic
That's high praise! Thank you!
Absolutely agree with you. So sick of the pretentious musicians talking bla bla bla rather than just being real, honest & normal. There's far too many out there who are guarded & harp on for an hour & when you've listened to the whole interview, you feel nothing & know nothing about them. Whereas, whenever I listen to Louis interviews, I feel he opens up, not even having given any personal details away, but you know how he feels about his music & his fans. He's not impressed by the fakeness which I find endearing.💙
@@natalieB325 hey! I genuinely was talking more about the fact that the interview format here resembles more of a conversation rather than a click bait hunt. Zach just talking to Louis about his music and the thought process behind it. And that’s what I meant. Musicians often put in shiny box labelled: “Dance monkey,dance.” Entertainment at all cost. And it’s just not the case here. I hope I managed to clear that up. Love xx
The artists that come on here and just go in circles, talking about THEMSELVES and praising THEMSELVES get on my NERVES. Love when they act like a normal human being and have a normal conversation. Instead of putting themselves up on this pedal stool and feel like they have to speak this foreign language to let the audience know how “special” and “different” they are. Love when they are humble and are genuine
@@piggiesmallspodcast9102 hi there! I’m not really sure what are you on about? They are being interviewed about THEMSELVES and about THEIR music and THEIR appreciation to the process? Who else are they supposed to talk about? And also, I believe that due to the long form format this is the only place currently that allows artists to authentically talk about whatever they want to talk about.
Chill out mate! Go get some sunshine! Life is good!🙌🏼
I love how respectful Louis was when speaking about Zayn. It really goes to show just how much he loves Zayn and his friendship he used to have with him back in 1D. Also, i agree with louis about the paul brothers being disrespectful during that interview with Liam. That whole interview was a set up to diss Zayn, I love zayn, and the paul brothers and everyone in that interview were just gross. I was also a little disappointed in Liam as well, because at the end of the day he didn't have to answer any personal or disrespectful questions but in the end he chose to reveal very personal stuff about zayn which was not cool. Yes I believe deep down Liam is probably a good person at heart, and maybe he was not in a good place mentally when he took that interview, but I hope he takes some time to reflect and apologise to Zayn. At the end of the day i really want the best for Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis and Liam, and i hope that with time they can heal and be friends again, because they all deserve to be happy and in a good place mentally.
Yes to all of the above. I think that plying Liam with alcohol was a part of the set up.
and this is why i think we should hold Liam accountable for his actions bc he as a grown man CHOSE to go on that podcast and chose to answer those questions and say that shit so i don't think zach was in the wrong for tweeting what he did ya know
31:11 "Too right man!"
@@Bella-wz9xw Yes 💯 hold liam accountable, but what Zac did was a little over the top and dramatic tbh. Like if he really felt that strongly about it, he could've just unfollowed liam privately? Like why did he have to do it so publicly? Like zac said he didn't even look at the bigger picture at the time I.e., Liam's mental health. When someone is in a really dark place, it's really important that people choose their words and actions wisely, and yes i would give the same advice to Liam too.
Darn it, he’s so cute!
That is why Liam always say he feels safe when Louis is around whether online or physically is because he is THAT LOYAL PERSON EVERYONE wants and hopefully deserves to have.👏👏👏 and that’s just one reason why i’ll forever be on his side of the court.
So sad with the news today
@@savannahjones-verity3308 glad someone else is here watching this and other things of the boys for some comfort :(
Louis is a great friend to Liam. Louis is very outspoken and he's not afraid of anyone. Louis has no problem putting people in their place!!! He definitely put Zach in his place. 😂😂
As the ancient proverb goes, Louis really is such a great person to just sit and admire what he’s like. And he keeps getting even better with time.
Harry knows Louis deep❤️
😭😆🥰
I would love to hang out with him some day
@@mercyorbit9351
i'm only 5 minutes in, and this is already my favourite interview of this promo season. i love how open and honest Louis can be here and how much we learn. the questions are so well thought of and louis genuinely puts effort in answering as eloquently as he can. love this
coming back here again to listen to Louis defend Liam and remind myself people cared and he was loved❤
"If I don't get radio attention, if my record label decides that tomorrow they don't want me anymore, I have my fans." HE IS THE BEST.
HE REALLY IS!!!!! ❤️🩹✨️😭
He really has us. Always
I've watched this one a million times and the "you remember me right" kills me every time
Oh man it was said with so much vulnerability, nostalgia and sadness 🥹 truly heartbreaking
I could listen to louis speaking all day his voice is so comforting
It's so refreshing to see Louis able to talk so honestly about his music and plans for the future. Thank you for giving him the space to show what a brilliant artist and person he is.
His voice , his expression , his sassy attitude, his face , his eyes ...I mean literally EVERYTHING about this man ❤️😩 KING
His hand moves 😂

@@18monthscryingdirectioner99 literally 🤪
@@vanessa3181 😅😆
I must say "his accent" but I'd rather say "your name and those colorful logos" lol
louis has always been so damn protective over the people he loves and i love that sm about him
Louis is so understanding and truly still cares about Zayn! “I understood somewhat of the things Zayn said about the band” “I’m closer to being past all the things that happened” we love growth! The way he explained him liking Zayn’s video and even complimenting his voice more than once! Louis is real and that’s what I love abt him
I think what really fractured the Friendship is that he didn’t show up at his first live solo performance a few days after his mom passed, while the other boys did. But I could be wrong. But I think that was the nail in the coffin
Louis is a prime example of artist growth. Not relying on his 1D days to model his musicality moving forward, but actually showcasing his true taste and talent. Zach, I feel you. Louis is the best 💙✌️
😀😀 I agree that he's making his own music, grow as an artist.. But not relying on 1D days... Just on 1D fans, who do you think went to those concerts??
@@alifc1082 not relying on the musicality that 1D had is what was stated nothing about fans….🧐
This has been the same for all of them, and they should all be proud of how far they've come
@@NannaV66 but this video is about Louis right? Not all of the boys. Obviously they all should be proud of their continued success and keeping true to the music they love
@@alifc1082There is no question that Louis got the best, most dedicated of the 1D fandom. Which he hands down deserves!
I know I shouldn’t compare but his interviews are better than anyone else’s. He’s so unapologetically himself. He is amazing, deserves the whole world. Proud to be a Louis girl. ☺️
This interview has so many highlights but the best one is the shade with the Amazon Music pillow...hahaha I can't with him and his sense of humour, Gold!!
I'm not part of his fandom anymore but whenever I listen to interviews with Louis it feels like coming home
I loosely follow what Zayn, Louis, and Liam do. I was a Niall and Harry girlie, so I’ve followed them more closely. But I have to agree so much. I don’t see interviews with him often because of that, but it totally feels like coming home when I do see one! ❤️
This is how I feel with the members besides Louis and Niall
😊seei harry😊going
These two interviews Louis had with these guys are my favourite. They ask sensible questions that I actually want to hear the answers to. Louis seems trust them enough to give them comprehensive answers as well. When Louis talked about Liam and that manipulative interview with that posterior orifice, I nearly jumped of my seat with gratitude. The fact that Louis was so unturned with Liam to see that they nearly destroyed him with that horrific manipulation. I loved everyone in that room for sorting it for Liam. If anyone attacks him again all we have to do is show them this interview. I am so thankful for this to showcase how articulate Louis is with his craft, the business, Fatherhood, his life and his rapid fire sense of humour. To me these two interviews go in my Masterpiece folder. Thank you everyone involved🥰🥰🥰
@shannon Fox. What did Zach Sang tweet? I can't find it.
@@tiffanyw6977 to tell you the truth O don't know but I am surmising it was calling Liam out for the things he said on the interview with those revolting brothers, if you get a chance to see that interview watch it a couple of times you'll see they kept Liam waiting supplied him with booze then manipulated the interview to make Liam look bad. Liam can be so unaware sometimes. That's what I see anyway. Hope you find the actual text but maybe it should stay lost because he really regrets it and we all go stuff on the spur of the moment🥰🥰🥰
@@shannonfox3351 Louis siding with any of them is awsome to hear and watch... I'm glad he waited for an interview to call the presenter face to face to say it. Liam probably should have avoided that interview, but what is done is done.
Even dunk and sort of confused Liam really aprecciate Louis, they couldn't get him to said a bad thing about Louis, and not for the lack of trying, they only wanted to promote their program... they got a lot of publicity articles and views from that video... the edits and headlines were also bad, because they selected certain parts to make Liam look worse.
@@tiffanyw6977 as I know not fix though he tweeted - " I just unfollowed @liamPayne and I feel clean now "

Monthly please 😭

@@karen4300 No daily
Exactly!
Louis and Zayn will find their way back to each other. It’s just a matter of time. I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other and they will always be brothers.
Oh for sure. They definitely had special bond , enough for Jay to ask louis to try rekindle his relationship with Z. Everyone can see how comfortable they were with each other. Actual best friends. It's just matter of time. They need each other in their lives.
i love how louis is so well spoken like he knows what he's talking about , some celebrities just talk nonsense and nothing but he knows exactly what he wants and he achieved !! so proud of him !!
This man is the most attractive person I have ever seen bro, his confidence, his mannerisms, his voice.everything this man does is raw and real and I think I fell in love
Same!!!! He oozes this self-assurance, enough to draw people in but not too much to come off as arrogant. He's just a perfect balance. And don't get me started on mannerisms bc I won't be able to stop ranting. He's so fucking classy, almost like a royalty. The way he carries himself is endlessly fascinating to me. He's just the sexiest man alive to me
Im too old to have a “role model” but i think he’s the closest to one that fits what i think a role model should be. I dont want to become him, but i honestly respect and look up to how he navigates the difficulties in life, how he passionately chases after his goals as a musician and how despite all this, he’s stayed down to earth and true to himself (as much as he can in the industry he’s in). Love you Tommo 💙
i feel like you're never too old to have a role model :)
I love Louis so much man I was always a Harry girl but I’m at this phase now where I am slowly switching over to being a Louie just bc I just love how authentic he is like Louis has never come off to be pretentious or anything like that and I love how much we get to know him as a person now
It's true and the same thing happened to me

HE IS JUST AN INCREDIBLY AMAZING HUMAN BEING. HES HONEST, SASSY, KIND, MATURE AT THE SAME TIME.
The way he jus defended Liam! My lilo heart is healed
I'm so proud of Louis. Seeing how far he has come makes me so happy. Can't wait for the album. Also the way he defended Liam and said "You don't wanna shit on someone like Liam"....my lilo heart is sobbing here.
I'm so do glad to see Louis feeling so free and more genuine than ever in this interview. The questions were awesome, as usual and the vibe what just total honesty and safe to be raw. Just wow
The things he said about Liam were exactly what I was thinking at the time and I really regret not saying it out loud but so glad Louis did. I hope he knows he did all the right things, you just can’t control the uncontrollable. Louis, you are heavy on my mind. Rest well Liam.
Zach Sang posting a podcast with Niall
Me coming to watch this one for the 1000st time
I love him so much the way he supports Liam he is the sweetest
I love this interview so much, I just love coming back here every few weeks just to listen to Louis talk and smile. We need more interviews like this with him, so many interviewers are so rude or annoying with their questions. Zach is the only person I love interviewing Louis now, Louis is always able to be himself and honest with his answers and I appreciate that so much. I hope he has more interviews with Zach in the near future.
framing being an artist as "not a struggle, but a conversation" is honestly gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. Louis Tomlinson is so insightful and his tune ain't bad either
Lou hating Paul brothers is my mood.. that's my man 😘😘🤩🤩
TBH I can honestly watch this 58 mins. video interview of Louis compared to our schools online lecture without even getting sleepy or bored.
The power that Louis beholds. 🛐
This was BRILLIANT. Louis is so unpretentious, in your face, loyal to his fans & true to himself. He’s SHARP & doesn’t miss a thing but you do he’ll call you out for not listening. He explained his immersion with fans so perfectly because I’m one of the fans thinking how bizarre & strange it looked. Now I get his very transparent response. This was the best spontaneous natural interview I’ve seen any of them do. Louis is fearless, authentic & a massively talented artist. Well done!!
I really admire Louis, he was always my fave but I always saw him like this badass guy, the stressed one, idk how to properly explain. But I’ve come to realize he’s actually really intelligent and he genuinely cares, I used to think he was in the band to have some fun and get some girls, but he really loves it and actually cares so much about the fans. I love the part where he explain why he lets people touch him and the fact that he doesn’t talk shit about people choking him, putting fingers in his mouth and touching his private parts, even though it is beyond limits, you can see he really respects his fans and understands that even if some people cross the line, it comes from a place of pure happiness and excitement that sometimes overcomes people reasoning.
You articulated this one so well. Exactly. He could have shaded them but no, he knows how the media is, they pick up on sound bites and go with it, twist his words. He knows better than anyone to paint any of his fans in that light. He truly cares about us. He managed to say what was off limits without shading fans who were crossing them. He truly is very very intelligent and well spoken. What's amazing is that he has always been like this. I clearly remember him going out of his way to defend us. Knowing how the media was shading teenage fans for intense love we had for the band. He was always so smart and passionate. He always had our back.
I love Louis and all his little things
I could listen to Louis forever. He is so honest and genuine. I liked how he answered the Zayn question plus how he supported Ziam. I also appreciate Zach for saying that he realized his mistake and apologizing. Few people have the courage to do that.
Louis is so mature and warm. All hearts.
he is so mature not getting mad about Liam but understanding there was smth big behind it, love Lou
I was 11 when I became a fan, I'm 20 now. I'll admit I'm over heavy "fangirling" over celebrities, including him. For most people, I can't watch interviews this long, but this interview, and all of his promo rounds have gone by so quickly. He will never acknowledge me, and he's not a huge part of my life anymore, but there's just something about him that makes me feel whole and at ease. Thank you Louis for everything you do, and thank you Zach Sang show for delivering yet another amazing interview.
Louis is literally exuding confidence,I’m so happy that he has finally become sure of himself as an artist ❤
This guy just doesn’t seem to age! I remember him when he first appeared on The X Factor and he barely looks any different!. He also seems very intelligent. I’ve never been a 1D fan but having seen this and the Harry Styles on Howard Stern interview I must admit I am impressed by both of them.
This is why I was always a Louis girl 🥲
I love how Louis is so protective of his boys... And open to us people who are insane about him... Love, love, love him. I can't wait to see him again on tour #Faithinthefuture
Louis has grown into such a insightful , introspective and very mature and kind person and yes hes always been a kind human but i have seen these traits along with confidence and honesty and just rawness too
It’s rare to love the artist and the interviewers equally and ever time Louis comes over to this radio show it’s magic ! Mutual respect to Louis and Zach
Who else in the world can know and understand liam better than Louis?? Like for real he just understands everything about him, his mid and his heart and he was so real when he said Zach doesn't want to shit on someone like liam and literally made Zach promise to apologize to him, he was so honest and impartial
Louis is amazing.
So articulate. Proud of the artist he is.
“i fucking hate them Paul brothers” why is he the realest ever
He always was lol I just love him
4:48 it's super super interesting how he explains choosing artists to write with instead of just songwriters and the same time acknowledges his privilege to be able to have broader job to even think about not getting a single everytime he writes and the way songwriting isn't his livelihood. It shows incredible insight into how much he cares about creative side of his job, how much he pays attention to his surroundings (high emotional intelligence) and self-awareness when it comes to privilege. And incredibly eloquent as well. It's my favorite interview of his, i keep coming back to rewatch it every month
Loved this interview straight from the heart in every way .Louis Tomlinson is such a talented and wonderful singer I bought Faith in the Future love listening to every song is so meaningful and beautifully sung by Louis such an amazing singer. Faith in the Future is really where we are all at in life right now. Thanks for the Amazing Interview loved it so much.
He’s never been this open in an interview, the confidence and the whole vibe was just so amazing. It makes me so so proud.
i truly appreciate louis for being the most idgaf person i've ever known LMAOOO no but like, he has always been such a genuine person in all aspects !! he wears his heart on his sleeve but also is the one of the strongest people out there, his artstry goes beyond words and it shows whenever he talks about it, so eloquently and full of pride. im honestly happy for him and his growth (both personal and artistically speaking) i also appreciate that he shares his mind so unapologetically, he is amazing. also thank you zach for always making him and artists feel so comfortable, understood and heard, you and your team are a one of a kind
I think I have never been more happy to see Louis like this. He is secure, confident, honest, and amazingly happy. I am proud to see him achieve the success he deserves. His music and this album is phenomenal. Best to you.
Louis is the type I would love to be friends with. He’s funny and down to earth, especially with his swearing; it’s something I would probably do as well if I was with him. Great interview sun. 😉
i went to LA night 1 (the show zach and freddie were at) and it was honestly the best show ever and you could just tell louis was so proud of himself and having fun and especially happy bc freddie was there 🥹🫶🏽
I adore this sweet man❣️ Louis is so honest, intelligent, and loyal to the people he loves. Hearing him talk about his son brought tears to my eyes. Then he made me laugh when he was talking the fans tearing his shirt. Awesome interview❤️
Louis's personality really came through during this interview and I could not be happier 🥰 I could see a bright glimmer of that uninhibited fun-loving guy we used to see all the time! It felt less like an interview & more like chatting with friends; I wish every interview was like this! He was so open (I don't mean manspreading), comfortable & confident. I feel like he was more expressive than he's been in interviews lately; all his facial expressions are adorable! (We got more than :> this time lol) Great questions; love hearing Louis view on deeper things and his reasoning behind things! I could listen to Louis talk for days and never not be interested. Thank you all for such a great interview! Love you Louis, thanks for sharing so much and for being true to you!
Let's be Honest, This interview feels like a Virtual hug from Louis 💞💞
I can listen louis talking all day ♡◇♡
I’ve never been invested in someone’s career as much as I am with him
Finally! a deep and honest interview. I’m proud of you Louis
I watched the whole show and I really want to say Thank You for treating Louis like this. I loved this interview, because there is no interrupting, no stupid questions, lots of very very interesting question and a good research.
Perfect Zach, perfect. We've literally listened to/watched every interview he's done in the US "together" as a fan group. You really brought up everything we wanted to hear Louis' thoughts on. We admire him for who he is & have that same proud wanna throw your love at him excitement/happiness for him level you were at in this moment with him. Thank you :)
Louis’ voice is the 8th wonder of the world, i can listen to him talk all day🤍
It's just Soo sweet of him , literally like u see him supporting all the one direction members equally, and when the whole world was hating on Liam Payne (half of the fandom did which is really a sad fact) for wht he'd said unintentionally and Louis just trying to save him and he's trynna tell the world it's not Liam's fault, I really love this mannnn!! He is a real genuine person, when he can literally just go against wht Liam had said but instead he just brought up his love towards him like alwaysss... Keep shining Louis, u r just amazingggg!! Beyond amazing if it exists!!! 💖😊 I hope one dayy all of them would get together at one place sharing a drink or two and just talk Abt the time while in the band, it's just all wht we need, seeing them together again is wht all fans wish forrr!!💖💖💖🥺
I'm so so proud of Louis have been for a long time, not only is his music incredible beyond reason his voice is incredible and calming he's gorgeous and talented but Louis as a person is so genuinely kind and real and caring he is not fake and is someone you can truly look up to, so down to earth and passionate for his music and he's such a great father honestly brings me so much Joy. Love you Tommo ❤️
Louis is a kind of person I want in my real life. Such a grounded person with a heart of gold who cares a lot about family and friends. And thanks Zack for doing excellent job. This is one of my fav interviews of FITF promos. Seeing how mature and confident he gets both musically and emotionally, I'm sure FITF would be a masterpiece.
One of Louis best interviews. Looks gorgeous happy, open and honest 🫶🏼
Louis is so intelligent and well spoken ugh I love him
The way louis says ” he knew exactly wah he was doin, the buoons he was pressin” I can watch him talk forever that way and never get bored😍😍😍😍
What an awesome interview. Louis is so honest, open and just wonderful. Thank you Zak for giving him a comfortable place, for showing him respect and appreciation. Louis, you‘re wrong with Change tho. We love the song so much. It‘ a musical and lyrical masterpiece❤️
And yes, your name is Zach, not Zak😂
