Louis Tomlinson

And then Liam had little moments where he had really successful singles and they streamed really well and he'd feel really good about that.

But at that time, nothing was really working for me in my job.

So I was really proud of him and I'd message him and stuff.

And then, not to the same weight, but kind of role reversed a little bit and Liam was struggling a little bit more professionally and I just started to understand the picture a little bit more, started doing more touring and stuff like that.

And like, for example, when I made a documentary in a film about my life after One Direction and Liam came to the premiere.

Now, I'll just say this because I was going to mince my words, but none of the other boys would have done that.

Fact.

Boys out of the band, the lads in One Direction.

Would I have even done that?

I'd like to sit here now and say, yeah, I think I would, but I don't know, truthfully.

And the point being that me empathizing how I was a couple of years prior to that, Liam was sat in a cinema watching a film about how I'd been successful in the last 12 months when he was struggling with his own things.

And it's something that...

I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to do it.

I'm not sure the other boys would have.

And basically all that is, to sum that up, is just utterly putting himself second.

There's no way that that wouldn't have had a certain kind of weight on him.

Because as you said, we're all human and we naturally compare.

So, you know, there might be things that were happening there that he was wanting for.

And I think just the fact that he turned up on that day and was there for me,

And I just did the role reverse in my head and imagined that.
