Louis Tomlinson Surprises Directioners With Graying Hair At 32

Former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson became the talk of the town on social media after he brought television to the Glastonbury Festival grounds at Worthy Farm to watch England face Slovakia at the Euro 2024 tournament.

While his "king behavior" had sports fans thrilled, Directioners were surprised to see Tomlinson letting his graying hair grow naturally at the age of 32.

On Reddit, fans and users expressed their opinions on seeing the young singer with gray hair.

"He's moving into silver fox territory. So wholesome," a user noted.

"I'm 1 year older than him. I'm not a 1Der. But I like the grey hair coming through. Silver fox generally means an attractive middle-aged man having mostly grey or white hair. It's not like I'm expecting his next tour to be at rest homes," a Redditor commented.

"I noticed that, too! Loving how he's just rocking the grey sides. It's totally normal to have some cheeky grey strands here and there in your early 30s, but you don't normally see celebs that age showing their greys so nonchantly. So it's refeshing to see someone like Louis with his natural greys. Good for him!" one praised Tomlinson.

While others were thrilled to see Tomlinson with his natural hair, some were shocked when confronted about how they're becoming older after seeing the former teen star's gray hair.

"Because I'm older than them and they were after my time so I always thought of them as babies. Seeing him with grey hair makes me confront my mortality which is shocking," a fan wrote.

"louis tomlinson having gray hair is making me feel 500 years old," one said on X, formerly Twitter.

"I was not prepared to see Louis Tomlinson with gray hair. What year are we in ?" another tweeted in shock.

The reaction to Tomlinson was not negative, and many praised him for embracing the natural process.

"Louis Tomlinson is officially a silver fox. While he hasn't yet gone fully gray, he's gone in and out of brown and gray phases - even with his facial hair. Atleast everyone is appreciating this silver-fox DILF," one of Tomlinson's fan accounts on X posted.

"This is just Louis having solidarity with the Vintage Fans, right? LOL. Love that he's going gray loudly and proudly," another commented.

When he auditioned for the seventh season of X-Factor, Tomlinson was already 18 years old, making him the oldest member of the group with Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan. Since One Direction went on hiatus, Tomlinson has released two studio albums, Walls and Faith in the Future.
