[@darnaelleclaassen267]

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.

[@wambuindishu6353]

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 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.

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

"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.

[@user-zd7cc5xc1s]

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.

[@sc3942]

Yes to all of the above. I think that plying Liam with alcohol was a part of the set up.

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.

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

[@natalieB325]

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.💙

[@TamaraB36]

@@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

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]

@@jamiecastronova8282 isn't it Oli who is his personal assistant and best buddy from home?

[@jamiecastronova8282]

@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.

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 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.

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.

Thank you Louis for everything you do, and thank you Zach Sang show for delivering yet another amazing interview.

[@zuziiiiiiiiii]

louis has always been so damn protective over the people he loves and i love that sm about him

[@tilliebops]

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

[@maryschram9692]

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.

[@leahanna2871]

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

[@aneri_s28]

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.

[@julianjeri6590]

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!!

[@ewaoluwaakintemi3960]

Louis is literally exuding confidence,I’m so happy that he has finally become sure of himself as an artist ❤

[@lilsquirt6842]

Damn bruh, Louis really articulate and has alot of value to his words

[@MsJessica1902]

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

[@1louisprotector28]

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.

[@OnlyAngelina]

Finally! a deep and honest interview. I’m proud of you Louis

[@sunkissed9081]

Louis is amazing. So articulate. Proud of the artist he is.

[@etiamds9645]

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.

[@rbocika]

absolutely adore louis. my attention span is something of a five year old, but i did not get bored for even a second during this interview. loved the honesty, the depth, the banter, the comfort and genuinity. louis is a wonder, I feel so lucky that he shares his sunshine with us. thank you for this zach!

[@millieva1772]

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❤️

[@millieva1772]

And yes, your name is Zach, not Zak😂

[@katrinakatrina5932]

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!

[@cindirectionx]

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. 🛐

[@Real.Forever]

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.

[@ltstan4460]

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 :)

[@mariekauhi9034]

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❤️

[@eni9214]

i LOVE how he spoke about the liam situation. i love him so much.

[@pottergurl_directioner4646]

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!!💖💖💖🥺

[@devanshiparihar7449]

I've watched this one a million times and the "you remember me right" kills me every time

[@ele9875]

Oh man it was said with so much vulnerability, nostalgia and sadness 🥹 truly heartbreaking

[@khadijaismayilova383]

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.

[@thaephyu2891]

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.

[@m_smiley6426]

This is my favorite part right there! :) 7:41 Louis: "I didn't expect to feel this comfortable musically, as a performer, as a songwriter. The last time I sat here when we did that walls interview I feel like there has been quite a lot of growth since than. I feel like a slightly different artist, a different person." 7:58 Zach: "Can you see it in your stage show?" 8:01 Louis: "Yeah, yeah, yeah I'd say so. And actually that was the missing piece of the puzzle for me. Yes and now I'm finally confident about who I am as an artist and that took some working out. But actually where the confidence has come from is the consistency of show after show after show after show. And it leaves no room for self-doubt. And my .. I'm so blessed with my amazing crowds that you know, when you have that many shows and you have such a great atmosphere at those shows like there is no room for any other thing other than kinda patting yourself on the back and going "well done"." @ Louis, it makes me so happy to hear about you feeling confident through your fans and tour shows! ❤️ We are blessed with your music and can feel your growth and confidence in your stage presence! All the best to you and your new album.

[@S28l__]

I love Louis and all his little things

[@BhagyashreeDaslovedestiny]

The honesty in the whole conversation, he has always been the same. He has grown up for sure but hasn't stopped speaking his mind. Love him for being this cool.

[@monikaadak6273]

His wise, honest replies to every question made me feel proud of him even moreee.... Him as a person, that to a down to earth personality, his perspective about anything and everything, his passion and love for what he does, his mutual respect and love for his ex bandmates.... Every single thing about Louis Tomlinson is worth appreciating and.... I truly truly hope he includes India 🇮🇳 in his next world tour.... Love him lots and best wishes for the Faith in the Future era! He's gonna shine and we are all gonna love him even more than we ever imagined ♥️💙

[@mama8200]

I love him so much the way he supports Liam he is the sweetest

[@hardcorevoyeur]

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.

[@ivyroseplata6538]

You are giving more and more reasons to love you Louis Tomlinson❤️❤️❤️

[@riyas6328]

Louis is so mature and warm. All hearts.

[@Creps]

This was BY FAR THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER!!! Thank you for making it possible! I enjoyed hearing him talk so passionately about his music and tour and everything! I love the way he called out radio stations and record labels for not supporting his music because it’s something we as fans have been saying for years and to finally hear him talking about it made us realise we are not as crazy as some other fans think we are! I loved everything about this interview , honestly! THANK YOU ZACH!! You should be the only person allowed to interview him from now on.

[@twentyedp]

Louis honesty and simplicity really makes me admire him more, the way he expresses himself and defends his opinion, I would like to be friends with him, I love him 😭

[@annanobili2714]

I love how confident Louis seems to be nowadays. You can really see it and hear it in everything he says about his music, and I can only imagine how much work on himself he did to get to this point. Looks like he's really found his own style and I couldn't be more proud! Cannot wait for the second album

[@emilylarimore127]

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 ❤️

[@chocoflan22]

What I got of this video is that Louis is still the same guy I grew to love when I was 12 years old and now at 21 I can look more into lyrics and be more realistic with how I view him vs my preteen pov . I will definitely be catching up with his music. Also this made me gain more understanding on liam as well, I also feel the same as Zach does on judging to fast, so apologies to Liam too.

[@AnneICA]

I'll say what everyone has already said but it feels so good to watch an interview with three people so passionate about music and to learn more about the actual work and life of an artist. I think Louis said that his fans were not interested in questions like "What superpower would you like to have?" in another interview and I could not agree more. We're interested in Zach and Dan's questions about the industry and all the process behind tour and making a new album. Seriously, thank you guys for such a fascinating interview (again!) 💖 Also, when he talked about Liam, Louis said he didn't think people wanted to hear him talk about the challenges of their kind of life but I think we do actually. Especially if talking about these challenges and acknowledging them might help them feel better :) Maybe someone somewhere sometime made them feel like they "have everything so they're not allowed to complain" but they're still humans who get to feel human emotions :) All the love guys and thanks again 🌟

I have never seen a 32 year old man look so good as louis

[@megangrainger1569]

@@user-si2xz6rl3d sorry forgot how old he is but he's turning 32 in December he still looks 18 though

[@ele9875]

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

[@jasminem812]

i dont really listen to his solo music much simply because it's not really my style, but i love interviews like this where i can see what he's up to. SO glad to see he's so confident and happy these days, i think he's such a great guy.

[@Jannyl13]

It's similar for me with Liam and Zayn. I usually listen to everything they do once to see what they are up to and if I like it but it's generally not my genre (even though I definitely like some individual songs). Louis is just such a good soul and I personally really enjoy his musical direction :)

[@lanacharlotte2010]

i’ll be honest i don’t listen to louis music often i mainly follow him because i think he’s just an amazing human being and has one of the most interesting views on life and his career i’ve ever seen. as a lot of people have, i’ve been following him since early 1D days and to see the person he’s grown into is truly inspiring. nothing but great things to come in his life i’m sure of it 💕

[@puka_turn]

I can listen louis talking all day ♡◇♡

[@debstar1808]

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.

Louis is genuinely an amazing person. He is so honest, articulate and funny af. Not to mention handsome and talented. I literally screamed when he had his leg up and
