We have decided not to keep you in suspense any longer. You have waited long enough for the second instalment of this series. Are you ready for the countdown – the final ten of our Top 20 Most Eligible Bachelors? Let’s just go for it!

10 – Johnny Depp

Can you believe that Johnny Depp is finally on the market? After all those years of hoping and wishing and we have finally got what we wanted. Unfortunately, this means that he had parted from the woman that had captured his heart for so many years.

Back in 2004, after his rather media-frenzied relationship with Kate Moss, Johnny Depp started a new relationship with an actress called Vanessa Paradis. They never actually married but they did have two kids together – a little boy born in 2002 called John “Jack” Christopher Depp III and a little girl born in 1999 called Lily-Rose Melody Depp. Aren’t they the coolest kids names in the world?

Back in June 2012, Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp finally announced they had split after keeping us guessing for many months beforehand. There were rumours flying around about their split for a long time before they confirmed it.

The news was sad for him, of course, but for the rest of the lusting ladies in the world, being single at the same time as Johnny Depp can only be a good thing, right? You never know – he might like to go to the Starbucks on the corner where you get your morning coffee to read his paper someday. If that doesn’t give you the inclination to put on a little bit of lipstick in the morning, we don’t know what will!

9 – Zac Effron

Once upon a time on the set of High School Musical, Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens met. This was back in 2005 when it was rumoured that they first started dating. They sadly broke up in December 2010 which means good news for the rest of the ladies around the world. With his good looks and the fact that in 2009, his wealth was rumoured to have been around $10million and that was before his film career had really kicked off, he certainly does look to have a great appeal for the ladies!

Although he is single, it would seem that he has the feelers out for a few girls. At the beginning of October of this year, for example, he was seen stood behind Brittany Snow with his arms wrapped around her in a longing fashion. It all looked very cozy that’s for sure but as yet, nothing more has come out about it. It would appear that we are safe – he is still single… For now.

Just a while after this story emerged however, it seemed he was out wining and dining another special lady in the form of Lily Collins. They went to Disneyland together and were snapped holding hands in a cutesy-kinda way. Another fan in Los Angeles also reported seeing the two coming out of a movie theatre too. It’s cute that they are hanging out but we wish we knew what was going on…

8 – Ryan Lochte

The 28 year old Olympic Swimmer had women all over the world lusting after him but this didn’t stop his girlfriend of four years publicly dumping him while he was in the middle of filming his reality TV show to be aired in the UK called What Would Ryan Lochte Do? He took the call privately of course, no one wants that kind of thing to come out while they are trying to record a TV show, but he didn’t admit to the cameras that she had ended their four-year relationship over the phone.

We thought it was still bad etiquette to dup someone like that over the phone these days but apparently  the kids are still doing it. What do you feel about it? Have you ever been ditched over the phone?

We would like to publicly offer this beautiful swimmer our shoulder to cry on, should he ever need it and we promise we wouldn’t even rub our hands over his perfectly chiseled abs… much!

7 – Michael Fassbender

He’s half Irish, half German and he lies in London while commuting to Los Angeles for work every now and again. It would seem as if career choices were the reason behind Michael Fassbender being on the list of the Top 20 Most Eligible Bachelors 2013-2014! He has had brief flings through his busy acting career of course. It was while he was filming X-Men: First Class that he met and sparked a relationship with Zoe Kravtiz. He seems to have a thing for co-workers here too – during the filming of Shame, he met and started dating Nicole Beharie. Relationships just don’t seem to be his thing really.

In fact, it was only a few weeks back in October 2013 that he came out to say that the longest relationship he had ever had was for around two years and one of the main reasons behind that was mostly his own selfishness and putting in too many hours at work rather than hours into his relationship. We told you that his career choices made him single!

He keeps himself incredibly busy it would seem and he has a string of films set for release over the next few months! The Counselor is currently coming out. Then there is Frank which is currently in post-production and will be released during 2014. In the same year he has plenty of other films coming out too – Macbeth, Slow West, X-Men: Days of Future Past and more! It’s crazy how many hours this guy might work. It clearly keeps him looking pretty fit though so we aren’t exactly complaining…

6 – Harry Styles

You can’t have a list like this and not mention one of the most notorious bachelors to come out of Britain recently. Harry Styles is a bit of a tart if the rumours in the media are to be believed. There was the scrutiny he faced when he was dating older TV presenter Caroline Flack plus the controversy surrounding the whole Taylor Swift scenario. It would seem that he likes to love ‘em and leave ‘em by all accounts but to be fair – these girls should probably already know that you can’t hold a guy like Harry Styles down. He is newly famous with a thirst for money, fame and adoration from his fans. He’s a cool kid and we love him but if we aren’t deluded enough to think that a relationship with Harry Styles could last longer than a fleeting romance, why do these girls think they can hold him?

Of course, you can’t hate a guy that is meant to be best friends with Ed Sheeran can you? We would love to go to a party with those two guys! Can you imagine that fun that you would have with them?

So what kind of thing do you need in order to attract Harry Styles? Well the two most important things to him, or so he says, are having a “good smile” and a “cute laugh”. That puts most of us out in the office then… we snorted as we wrote this.

He wants someone to have a good laugh and some fun with it would seem. He wants to go and visit new places and try the things he has never tried before and he’s looking for a girl that can do those things with him. He’s not interested in someone that just wants to sit around and do nothing. We had better get off our computer then…

5 – Colin Farrell 

Come on – he’s the badass bachelor in town, isn’t he? You can’t help but love him with his cute Irish accent, drinking problem and badass ways. We love the parts he plays in some of his films too. They seem so ridiculous but somehow he always seems to make them work.

He’s got everything you need to attract a girl if you wanna play the bad guy and this is perhaps why so many fall under his spell. We all know we will get burned if we do it but we go ahead and do it anyway, just for the sheer fun of it. Deep down we know we won’t ever be able to change them; it’s like the Harry Styles scenario all over again, isn’t it?

Just take a look at some of the beautiful women this guy has been romantically attached to. Looking at some of these and he seems to be in the same bachelor standards as George Clooney. Maybe he is planning on swooping in and stealing that stop spot?

With Michelle Rodriguez, Kim Bordenave, Amelia Warner, Ashley Scott, Demi Moore, Britney Spears, Angeline Jolie, Salma Hayek, Lindsay Lohan, Carmen Electra and Lake Bell all rumored to have been in his bedroom on at least one occasion, you certainly need to ask yourself exactly how much charm this guy really has going on for him. We know he is hot but to have “pulled” that many women, there must be something very special going on.

That’s why we are glad he is still a bachelor! Aren’t you ladies?

4 – Daniel Radcliff

When this name was first thrown around in the Herinterest team, a lot of the girls looked at me like I was crazy. Let’s face facts here ladies; this guy has got some serious cash, he’s got some serious kudos going for being the infamous Harry Potter, and the film roles he has been taking are literally setting him up for life. He might just be the geeky kid to you but he certainly has a damn smart head on those nerdy little shoulders!

Rather shockingly for the normally shy and reserved young actor, he came out and spoke about his sex life, stating that he preferred much older women and actually lose his virginity at the age of 16 to a much older woman. It was only at the beginning of October that he came out to say that his mysterious new girlfriend was considerably older than him but he wouldn’t be giving the game away as to who it was.

Fine, if that’s the way you want to play it Daniel Radcliff, we’ll simply pretend she doesn’t exist and continue to lust after you anyway.

He is branching out in terms of his acting abilities recently and it would appear that he has taken on the role of a gay man in the new film Kill Your Darlings in which there is a gay sex scene. Could it be like Brokeback Mountain all over again? We loved that film!

3 – Bradley Cooper

He’s had a rather busy love life over the years with three massive relationships under his belt so far! Back in 2006 he married the actress Jennifer Esposito, but less than a year later, she had apparently filed for divorce. He then had a long term relationship with the brilliant Bridget Jones’ Diary star Rennee Zellweger, and there was another actress caught under his spell as well. Back in December of 2011, he started hanging out with Zoe Saldana, but it only lasted to years and just January of this year, they had reportedly broken up. It would seem that things were not running smooth for this fella at all!

He’s not technically right now but with his track history, it would seem that we might still have a chance. We’d have to fight off the stunningly beautiful model Suki Waterhouse however – they’ve been dating since February of this year. They met at the London Elle Style Awards and with her recently seen walking his dog in London, it would seem that she had very much caught the eye of the guy that played the hunk in Silver Lining’s Playbook. In fact, one British newspaper caught them hanging out a whole bunch of times during their brief but rather intense relationship, and there has even been discussions of them starting a family. He’s made no secret of his desire to be his dad in the past. Maybe he has found the one to settle down with?

2 – Prince Harry 

To be fair, Prince Harry isn’t actually single. But he’s not married yet. This means that there is still hope for us non-princesses to wear a crown. He is actually dating a girl called Cressida Bonas and they’ve been doing their thing for around eighteen months so far. Rumors have revealed that she has been up to Sandringham Palace on more than one occasion to go shooting with the young Prince, and this would seem to suggest that she had been given the royal seal of approval as such…

He’s still not married though – that’s what you need to bear in mind. They aren’t even engaged yet. We think that this snippet of information allows him to be on the list of Top 20 Most Eligible Bachelors for 2013-2014. Do you agree?

Just very recently, the local “bookies” in the UK have had bets on Prince Harry proposing to his girlfriend in 2014. These rumours are suggesting that the prince is rather smitten with his other half. We need to get a move on, right girls?

He’s been keeping himself busy and even though it would appear that he has broken his toe, Prince Harry is still soldiering on with a trek to the South Pole coming up that he says the toe will not make him back out of. What with training for that and the Royal Christening of his young nephew, Prince George going on, he certainly has been keeping himself very busy indeed!

1 – Robert Pattinson 

This British beaut is quite famously on the market after the not-so-nice Kirsten Stewart took his heart and trampled all over it so publicly. We all read those horrifying stories in the press surrounding the news that they had split up after she had an affair with the filmmaker behind the hit Snow White and the Huntsmen in which she starred, Rupert Sanders who was married to actress and model Liberty Ross at the time.

They tried to rekindle their relationship at one point and it didn’t seem to work out with them breaking up again not longer after. Recently they were seen together at his Los Angeles home where they apparently had a chat about their pet dogs. According to his friends who have spoken out to the press however, he is most definitely on the market and single right now and has no intentions of getting back with his Twilight ex-lover. What do you think? Do you believe them? They seem to have one of those weird on-again, off-again relationships that have become the norm in Hollywood…

To put even more of a spin on things, that’s the only meeting they have been spotted to have recently. They were seen at LAX Airport just a few days ago, and with Robert apparently turning down the role of Christian Grey after Charlie Hunnam turned it down and Jamie Dornan finally got the part, could these be signs that the two are rekindling their love for each other?

There’s still hope for us yet though ladies!

We have now sadly concluded the second and final part of the Top 20 Most Eligible Bachelors for 2013-2014 and what an exhilarating ride it has been! What were your highs and lows? Who did you agree or disagree with? Who miss the cut?

We will be back very soon with the next instalment in our eye candy saga. We’ve got the last of the  100 Hottest TV Actors 2013-2014 to come. We’ve even got more plastic surgery shocker rumours to put to rest for you! Keep your eyes peeled and come back again soon when we are sure we have more delights for you, especially in the eye candy section!

We decided to dive right in. It would be rude not to, right?

10 – Hugh Grant

You can’t talk about beautiful and hot British men without mentioning the completely adorable Hugh Grant. Once married to Elizabeth Taylor, the floppy haired, smooth-talking actor has won over the hearts of millions of women all over the world, even after he got himself into trouble by cheating on Elizabeth Taylor!

Hugh John Mungo Grant was originally born in London on the 9^th September, 1960 which means it was just his birthday a couple of days ago!

Happy Belated Birthday Hugh Grant!

Of course, most of us will know him for his part as the gorgeous but devastatingly love-rattish Daniel Cleaver in the hit British movies – Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. You may also have known him for his laid-back role in About a Boy, and for those of that love this guy and can’t wait to see him again on the silver screen, there is a film starring Hugh Grant set to be released in 2014 – The Man From U.N.C.L.E. He’s been pretty quiet recently and his last big film was back in 2007 when he starred alongside Drew Barrymore in Music and Lyrics. He has had a child since then with an unknown woman so we would imagine that would have kept him rather busy!

9 – Russell Brand

This crazy-haired nutter is a little bonkers but that doesn’t stop him having women swooning over him on all the corners of the globe. He was married to Katy Perry for a while but unfortunately, things didn’t work out there, and as well as being linked to a whole host of other famous women around the world, he has a past drug habit to really add to that bad boy image that us girls seem to simply worship.

He is a little too “out there” for some women but to us; he is the cutest thing in the world. In fact, one of our ex-boyfriends dressed up as him for a British themed birthday party but that’s a different story altogether.

Well known for his stand up comedy routines as his Hollywood film career, it would seem as if life has slowed down a little for Russell Brand. He has been clean from drugs for a while now and his film career is going from strength to strength, especially with hit films such as Arthur and Get Him to the Greek under his belt. We wonder what will come next for the crazy-haired little starlet.

8 – Jude Law

We can remember the very first time we fell in love with Jude Law and it was a little later than most of the other women out there in the world. It was the backdrop for a rather painful breakup for one of our team and we watched the film The Holiday in which he strikes up a romance with Cameron Diaz’s character and makes our heart melt. For other women, it might have been the film Artificial Intelligence that sold it for them. It might even have been the Sherlock Holmes films in which he stars alongside Robert Downey Jnr.

Luckily for the ladies out there that love this British star, there will be plenty of opportunities to check him out over the coming months. Don Hemingway is set to be released soon, and there’s also a couple of films due to be released in 2014 too – The Grand Budapest Hotel and Black Sea, which is currently being filmed.

7 – Henry Cavill

Have you seen the film Man of Steel that came out just a little while ago? If you have, you probably already know who Henry Cavill is.

This hot British actor was originally born in the Channel Islands of the UK on May 5^th, 1983 and has actually starred in a fair few films recently. Luckily for us ladies that love him, he will also be starring alongside Hugh Grant in the film The Man From U.N.C.L.E. that will soon be released.

If you have been following us for a while, you will have noticed that not only is Henry Cavill featured right here on our 10 Hottest British Men, but he also popped up in our Top 100 Hottest Men in the World 2013 (Part A). If you don’t believe us, just click on the link!

6 – Harry Styles

Another one that may have popped up on the list of the Top 100 Hottest men in the World 2013 (Part A) is Harry Styles. This adorable British beaut first shot to fame on the hit British TV show The X-Factor with four other lads and has simply rocketed to super-stardom since!

He is lusted after by most women all over the world – this means that women of all ages love him and would give anything for a smooch with that pretty little face! His curly brown locks and beautiful straight-teethed smile sells it for most chicks, and if that doesn’t do it for them, his singing voice surely will.

There’s something about that Harry Styles, He’s so young yet seems much older than his years. After his recent break-up from Taylor Swift and his new and very first movie shooting to the top spots in most countries around the world, it would seem that single Harry isn’t having things too badly.

We wonder how many women would love to be his rebound fling?

5 – Gerard Butler

Things are getting exciting now, aren’t they? Here we come to another beautiful creature that featured on our Top 100 Hottest Men in the World 2013 (Part B). Gerard Butler, the actor and handsome face behind such films as P.S. I Love You and Law Abiding Citizen, was originally born in Paisley in Scotland which isn’t really the nicest town in the world. You’ll understand if you’ve ever been there, trust me!

Things have been quiet for Gerard Butler recently and we have certainly missed him! Thankfully he has a whole host of films coming out over the next few months which are bound to keep us more than entertained for a little while.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is set to be released in the early part of 2014, as is Dynamo in which we will reportedly see his handsome and rugged face. His trademark Scottish crossed with Irish accent is one of his distinguishable features, as is his commanding voice which could command us all day long, right women?

4 – David Beckham

Things are about to get a little beautiful now ladies – we are starting to see the real big leagues in pure British beauty and when it comes to handsome men, you definitely don’t get much more handsome than this!

David Beckham is the hottest thing since…. Well, David Beckham. He’s the reason most girls watch football at all. He lead the way for beautiful footballers such as Ronaldo, and for that, we love him very much.

Of course, we can’t forget that he is one half of the Beckham power-couple. There’s Victoria to think about in all this. Between them they make millions of dollars every year and they don’t show any signs of slowing down soon. And let’s not forget that she gave him the nickname “Golden Balls” – what is this man hiding in his underpants? Well, if you’ve seen his latest underwear commercial, you can clearly see what he’s hiding in there.

Sigh… Isn’t he just the most beautiful man?

He may be tattooed and a little bit older these days, perhaps even being a bit rough around the edges, but David Beckham still has what it takes to make us ladies weak at the knees. Even after all these years and all the new, younger, hotter footballers that are running out onto the pitch, he still holds that little place in our hearts, right ladies?

3 – Robert Pattinson

This guy features as number one on our list of Top 100 Hottest Guys of 2013 (Part A) which means he definitely deserves a place on the Top 10 Hottest British Men!

The actor behind Edward Cullen in the hit films Twilight shot to super stardom alongside Kristen Stewart who played Bella Swan in the movies. Also known for the film Remember Me, Robert Pattinson has certainly made his mark on Hollywood and with his recent and very public split and then re-split from his Twilight co-star has left him very much in the public eye – something the couple had strangely always tried to shy away from before. Her very public apology angered many people, especially as they had always tried to keep their private life exactly that before. In fact, just a couple of days ago, Kristen once again spoke out about how heart-broken she had been following their split. Maybe things are about to get “on” again?

The breakup hasn’t stopped Robert Pattinson from doing his thing – he has been filming all over the place and has a number of films set to be released over the new few months. Maps to the Stars, for example, is due to be released towards the end of this year and will see Robert starring alongside John Cusack. There is also the anticipated Queen of the Desert in 2015, The Rover again towards the end of 2013, and Mission: Blacklist in 2014.

He has definitely been keeping busy to deal with his heartbreak!

2 – Tom Hardy

If you can find me one woman that doesn’t like Tom Hardy, I will eat my hat! This guy is so beautiful – he has this rugged, stocky British thing going on and it drives most women crazy!

Where will you have seen him before? He has a list of films under his belt including 2010’s Inception, 2011’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, This Means War in 2012 and even The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. Luckily for us, things don’t seem to be slowing down for the hot British stud and he has a number of films that are set to be released over the next little while.

Mad Max: Fury Road, for example, is coming out in 2014, as is Animal Rescue. Everest is also in pre-production and is reportedly going to be released in 2014, and there is even a film called The Outsider starring Tom Hardy in 2015 too. That’s plenty of eye-candy time for us ladies and that suits us just fine, doesn’t it women?

Just take one look at this stunning man and you can understand what the big fuss is. He even popped up in our Top 100 Hottest Men in the World 2013 (Part A). You can’t deny how beautiful he is to look at, that’s for sure!

So, we have one space left. Who do you think will join our Top 10 Hottest British Men? Let’s take a look at who the possible contenders are… there’s Daniel Craig; we’ve not seen him yet. It could also be one of the other One Direction boys. What about Olly Murs or James Arthur – both beautiful men born from British reality TV shows…

Are you ready to see the Number One guy in our Top 10 Hottest British Men? Without any further ado, let us present to you….

1 – Charlie Hunnam

We first fell in love with this beautiful man in the amazing American TV show “Sons of Anarchy”. Some of you may even have been made to watch the “Green Street” films by your football-loving boyfriends and spotted him in that. Whenever it was that you first laid eyes on this beautiful blonde hottie, he’s certainly someone that sticks in your memory and very soon, he is going to stick in there a whole load more and for many prominent reasons!

E L James, the author of the hit books “Fifty Shades of Grey” recently announced on Twitter that Charlie Hunnam would play the lead role of Christian Grey in the film adaptations. Doesn’t it make you smile at the thought of this beautiful blonde man wearing only jeans, padding barefoot towards you with a riding crop in his hand. No shirt on and ripped muscles clenching…. It’s going to be hot, right?

Although there has been controversy surrounding who would play this amazing yet mysterious creature in the films, it would seem that many were happy, yet surprised by who she announced. Now we’ve thought about it, it just makes perfect sense. Could you imagine the ripped abs of Charlie Hunnam as he stood in that living room described in the book, wearing just jeans unbuttoned and falling over his feet? Can you see him in the suits that he supposedly wears in the book? What about with a riding crop in his hand? Could see you see Charlie Hunnam doing this? We certainly can and it’s not a bad thing, that’s for sure!

What are your views? Who do you think should have been cast as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades trilogy?

So there you have our top ten list of hottest British men. Do you agree with who has made the cut? Is there anyone missing that you feel we should have added? We’d love to know your thoughts and views so take a moment to shout out and let us know. Alternatively, you could keep going with the eye candy and check out our other creation filled with beautiful men – Top 100 Hottest Men in the World 2013 (Part A) With the likes of Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Chris Brown and Eminem going on over there, it would be a shame to waste the opportunity to check them out at their fittest!

One Direction

Here at HerInterest.com, we decided that it was time to take a closer look and bring you only the very best in facts and truth about the massive hit UK band One Direction!

WATCH ONE DIRECTION – WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL HERE.

Let’s start from the beginning…

One Direction are a British band that appeared on the British version of the hit TV show The X-Factor in 2010; the seventh season of the show.

Consisting of five band members, One Direction weren’t originally a band at all – the contestants all applied to be on the show individually, and some of them were actually booted out of the show at one point until Simon Cowell made the genius executive decision to bring them back into the show and push them together into a boy band.

This was possibly one of the smartest decision the show has ever made and now, signed under Simon Cowell’s record labels, Syco Records, as the group hit to amounts of fame that most 19-22 year old boys could only ever dream of.

Let’s meet the band!

Come on ladies – you must know who these cheeky chappies are by now! Let’s introduce the gang!

Niall Horan

Harry Styles

The youngest member of One Direction, Harry Styles is our personal favorite too! He’s such a little cutie with his floppy brown hair and big, innocent eyes. He seems to be side-stepping the cutie-cute image these days however, with a more rocker appearance and an ever-growing amount of tattoos.

Born on the 1^st February in 1994, he was born in Cheshire in England. Now let’s take a look at some interesting facts about Harry Styles:

• Another kid with an older sibling, Harry Styles has an older sister called Gemma.
• Harry’s parents were divorced when he was still quite young, just like Niall’s too – his mother was called Anne Cox (nee Shelley) and his father was Des Styles. His mother remarried after the divorce.
• His star sign is Aquarius and this means he is an extrovert, and outwardly expressive!
• Before he starred on The X-Factor, Harry actually had a part-time job in a bakery near to where he lived – W. Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel.
• One Direction isn’t the first band that Harry has had the pleasure of performing in. Before OD, he had a band called White Eskimo with three other members – Will Sweeney was the drummer, Nick Clough was the guitarist, and Haydn Morris was the lead guitarist.

The rather exotic looking Zayn Malik has a Pakistani father, Yaser and an English mother, Tricia. With two younger and one older sister, he is from Bradford in England, and was born on January 12^th, 1993.

Liam Payne

Liam James Payne was born in the West Midlands in England on August 29^th, 1993. He was actually born three weeks early – we’ll give you that interesting fact for free, to father Geoff and mother Karen. A rather poorly child with regular kidney problems, he used to take as many as 32 injections twice daily to help cope with the pain, and it wasn’t until he reached the age of four, he was routinely in hospital as Doctors weren’t sure what the problem was.

Back to lighter news and let’s look at some of the best interesting facts about Liam Payne:

• 2010 wasn’t the first time that Liam Payne had been on The X-Factor. In 2009; two years sooner, he actually made it through the first part of auditions, making it to the judge’s houses where he met his end with Simon Cowell. In fact, Simon had mentioned to him that he should come back in two years time, which he did, and that’s when he made it into the massive band One Direction. That’s something we definitely are happy about!

• His 2010 audition on The X-Factor saw him performing “Cry Me a River” by Justin Timberlake and he actually received a standing ovation from the crowd! Obviously he deserved it!

Look what you cheated on, you silly girl!
• His bootcamp song of choice was by Oasis – “Stop Crying Your Heart Out”
• Just like Niall, Liam has the middle name James.
• Danielle Peazer was a backing dancer on the show that made Liam famous in 2010, and he started dating her while he was on the show. It would seem that they are still together! Sad news for us!

• Sugarscape did a list of the 50 Hottest Males back in 2011 and he came 8^th in the poll. The British newspaper also did a poll in the same year and he came in 11^th. What do you think? Where do you think he should go?
• Due to him being one of the most mature and responsible members of the One Direction group (he doesn’t really drink because of his poorly kidneys) he has earned himself the nickname “Daddy Directioner”
• He loves songs by The Script and according to the other band mates, he often sings their songs in the shower!
• Liam refers to himself as the clumsiest guy in One Direction!
• He’s a bit of a daredevil, it would seem, and back in 2012, Liam and Louis performed a SkyJump from 192 meters off the Auckland’s Sky Tower. To make things even more impressive, David Beckham, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry have done exactly the same jump!
• His favorite song is by Michael Bublé – “End of May”
• Once the audition part of The X-Factor was over and done with, the betting odds in the UK were very much in his favor. In fact, behind Cher Lloyd who was predicted to be the winner of the show, he was actually coming in at second. This was before the part where they brought back the other four boys and created the band, One Direction, of course!
• Liam is 5 foot and 10 inches tall.

With five younger sisters (half-) that he needed to learn how to grow up with, he actually starred in a British TV show called Fat Friends with two of them. He was only an extra, but it was a start in the right direction for the little star!

Now it’s time for us to take a closer look at the coolest interesting facts about Louis Tomlinson:

• The food he hates are baked beans.
• According to some reports, it can take Louis up to half an hour to get his hair done in the morning. As much as we like a man that likes to look good, could we really compete with someone for bathroom time? Just a bit of food for thought….
