- Rockstar turned author Louise Wener paid us a visit at this year's Latitude Festival. She chats to Geoff about the differences of coming to a festival as a writer compared to the old days as a musician and also reveals that there are moments when she truly misses the big stage.
A lot of people making douche-bag coments about her looks. She was 30 in 1996, and 44 in this video from 2011, seriously, who looks the same 14 years later? She looks healthy and great and exactly how you'd expect her to look, or better even. It seems a lot of people are very naive about the ageing process and the effects of makeup, etc. I would bet if she died her hair and wore the same clothes and make up as she did in the mid 90s, she would actually look very similar.
Yes, what you said, love to see a tour again.
Saw Sleeper support the Manics at the Newcastle Uni gig of the Holy Bible tour and they were great (even sent off for the Bucket and Spade EP). Louise became a bit of a crush of mine then and I think she still looks lovely in this.
They currently are, after all these years! Gig in London in December :)
Nah, she's looking rough.
Still...years after I remember...decades even. Beautiful woman. Loved her then...still do. Get it video is old. But it's Louise from Sleeper.💕
Still would
Still absolutely gorgeous...different, yes, but, wow, sooo beautiful!
She looks and sounds WONDERFUL ! ;)
I love Louise and sleeper, went to see them live in 96 she threw some of the water out she,d been drinking from, I was blessed lol....
she gave me her bottle of water to drink as i was in the front row and asked for a sip..96 in edinburgh..class times loved her still do
ah god I still love her
nice interview. I really loved sleeper. wish they would come back
She’s great. Makes me smile
Such a great band. Her book is a good read!
Louise looks fantastic here and has survived the Britpop era far better than her contemporaries
like who?
not too sure about that
So humble, so gorgeous, so talented :-)
Still lovely
Awesome lady, great writer of songs and Sleeper much missed. Her books are good - check them out and out ' the it girl' on and remember the 90s and the sunshine
Still gorgeous!
The wall takes no prisoners
They should do some gigs, Sleeper was defintely big enough to warrant the odd tour every few years. Someone should track down the Sleeperblokes and make it happen!
we all had a crush on her, she was/still is a beautiful looking woman
Still very attractive.
SHE'S LOVELY X
She's fit as!
No, in the first place, she's not so ugly as a few people here keep saying. But (and let's be honest) it's unbelieveble how she has changed over the years. She's pretty different, got older in a too odd ratio. Only because the age? The children she had over the last 15 years? I don't know, but It's doesn't matter, she still has her charm as the old days, like in mid 90's.
always liked this lady, she appears to have followed what she believed in, i mean how many of us would loved to have been pop stars and novelists and had been respected at both art forms?
Quite an interesting interview btw.
Lovely Lady!
She's still gorgeous.
still would
Awesome girl.
Still would.
Still gorgeous
@EnglishChannel1 they were a shockling bad live band - that said I would suggest "inbetweener" was one of the truly great songs in the Britpop era and the it girl was a lost gem of an album.
@AlxFitz Kindly post a list of your top 30 singles, platinum albums, and published novels.
Geoff has come a long way since his days as Phil Wood's travel reporter on AA roadwatch back in the Piccadilly 1152 MW era. Happy days. Am I the only person who remembers? Apart from Geoff, of course. Do the travel in rhyme Geoff...
I've said before and I'll say it again. I'd be like a rat in a bakers wheelie-bin.
+themetuneboy ha,ha,ha,ha - thanks for making me laugh loud !
themetuneboy ha ha ha ha so would I
she still blinks a lot :D
She doesn't look bad for her age.
But I miss that cool visual she had when she was 32...Those short "black and blonde" hair, green eyes, sexy shoulders and that beautiful smile! Well, despite of all, it'd be great to see Sleeper again in the music scene!
I hardly recognise Louise Wener to back in the days of Sleeper during the mid-90's.
Shes still pretty
And people say youtube comments are predictable white noise
@jesustonight "Goodnight Steve McQueen" is great fun. If some TV or film producer wants to make a film that captures the Britpop years they should snap up the rights.
I guess there's more money in "Chicklit" - which is a pity because Louise was always one of the lads and writes male characters brilliantly.
Still cute ❤️ Natural beauty
I just wouldn't have recognized her if I passed her in the street or saw her at the check out at Tescos
omg
Will's Mum from the Inbetweeners...
She should still be singing :-(
Maybe she's just deciding "What do I do now?"
Lmfao! Genuinely made me LOL this comment good work haha :) Agreed though
Well said - see my comment above :-)
You're not the boss of me.
no wonder evans always wanted slepper on his show ;)
still think she is sexy..seen her in 1996 ..she looks lovely x
.. ha ha trevor - yes got the beer belly, no mortgage luckily - but not many looked hotter (dirtier?) than louise & cerys matthews in their prime, with their FMB's on - good times the mid 90's for music & going out on the lash. :-)
i absolutly loved her back in the day. she was the hottest women in music in 1996 to 1998
FFs people it was over 15 years of course she's aged ...she's aged so well and not pumped her face full of Botox and fillers like Courtney love ..what a grounded person
Saw her tonight... READIPOP.... Woah she looks amazing like she did late 90s..... seriously I'm in my 40s bring on my 50s Louise is owning it!
course they weren't all "one big britpop happy family". dumb question
still a babe
She gives me the fucking horn.
Er, no,
she's in her mid 40s, isn't wearing any make up and is sitting in a camper van on a cloudy day with crap lighting and camera work. Give the woman a chance!
It's safe to say time has not been kind to her...I am in my 30's now and I fancied her badly in the mid 90's...I took that Sleeper album with me and played it in my halls of residence at UNi throughout freshers week....she has now basically morphed into Delia Smith.
my crush has gone . did she eat louise? i wanted to eat louise .
+nikki visser remember she's British: only good to look at when plastered with make-up and by 28 what little looks she ever had in the first place went. Still on the bright side - she is not covered in tattoos and is not fat like most British women of a 50 year vintage !
what part of her would you eat first...?
She was 30 when Sleeper got big.
..ha ha - FMB's are knee length black leather boots (F**K me boots) Generally if girls were wearing these on a night out in the 90's they were 'up for it'!
Slagwellies
you insult women on the net... your family must be so proud
The years have not been good to her I seen sleeper 3 times back in the day and each time was more shitter than the other
+lee rattigan yeah agreed - I loved their second album but live her voice could barely be heard....
Loved them but sound was always off when they were live.
wait until you start getting older. you either like women or you don't. age doesnt matter.
