When it comes to the solo careers of former One Direction members, there’s Harry Styles, and there’s everyone else.  And Louis Tomlinson used to have a problem with that.

He says, “I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me at first.”  But he admits that it was “only ’cause I didn’t know where to place myself, and really my only point of reference was other members of the band.”

Louis isn’t surprised Harry is the most successful member, because he “really fits the mold of a modern star.”

And he adds, “I look on Harry like a brother, man.  I have a lot of pride for what he’s doing.”
