One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson’s Gray Hair Shocks Fans After Viral Video

Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson’s gray hair is getting the attention of fans.

According to Page Six, the former member of the band One Direction is only 32, but he went viral on June 30 when fans noticed that he had traded his “shaggy brunette cut” for gray hair at England’s Euros game. Photos show Tomlinson’s hair has especially gone gray around the temples.

Page Six described fans as freaking out over Tomlinson’s gray hair, but a review of posts on X shows people have mixed opinions of it, although some fans were shocked. “I was not prepared to see Louis Tomlinson with gray hair. What year are we in ?” wrote one woman on X.

“Wdym Louis Tomlinson has gray hair now? I feel so old,” wrote another.

According to US Weekly, Tomlinson showed off the gray hair at the Glastonbury Festival on June 30 when he was interviewed by BBC, and the video went viral.

Photos on Getty Images show that Tomlinson’s hair was brown in 2023.

Tomlinson was only 18 when he became famous along with other One Direction band members Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, Page Six reported. According to Web MD, Tomlinson’s gray hair is only slightly before schedule; people of Caucasian descent tend to start getting gray hair in their mid-30s, the site reported.
