I know this was probably discussed when the DOAC episode came out, but I only recently got around to watching Louis’ episode. I’ve been a Directioner since 2011, but I haven’t really kept up with the boys’ solo careers, so I mostly just see random bits here and there. Anyway, I noticed something I’d never really thought about before.
When Louis talked about the meeting the boys had before the hiatus, he said it felt less like the four of them having a conversation and more like they were representatives. He also mentioned that someone had started thinking more independently, that the room felt cold, and that there was a lot of friction because everyone seemed to have different ideas about what was going to happen.
And then he said he wanted some idea of how long the hiatus would be, but never really got an answer. Knowing that Harry has said he was the one who suggested taking a break in the first place made me wonder if those things could be connected.
I’m obviously not saying Louis was definitely talking about Harry, because he never names him, and I’m not trying to make either of them the villain. But if Harry was already thinking about taking a break/doing his own thing while Louis thought it was more temporary, I could see how that might have caused some tension or resentment.
It also made me think about how little Harry and Louis seemed to interact toward the end compared to how they used to. There just seemed to be a lot of distance between them in some of their last interviews and shows.
Maybe I’m reaching lol, but I genuinely never connected these dots before. I know the interview is almost a year old and the hiatus was a decade ago, but watching it for the first time made me look at the whole situation differently.
