Louis
Tomlinson
The former One
Direction singer,
28, kicks off a world
tour March 9 for
his debut solo
album Walls.
When did you
decide you were
ready to release a
solo album?
After I did the song
“Just Hold On”
with Steve Aoki.
From that moment,
I decided to take a
leap of faith.
MOVIES | Emma
COMEDYAnya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) plays
the Jane Austen heroine: a bright, pretty,
supercilious young woman who slowly
realizes she knows zip about life, society,
friendship or love. The comedy tends to
be too bouncy and broad, with none of
Austen’s bright acidity, but in the end this
Emma is very moving—a lovely rom-com
from 1815. (In limited release Feb. 21, PG)
NETFLIX| A Shaun the Sheep
Movie: Farmageddon
FAMILYA cute little extraterrestrial with rab-
bity ears is stuck in the countryside, unable
to call home. And so he hangs out with
Shaun the Sheep and has a wonderful time.
You will too. This is possibly the first and
only film in which an alien is shown needing
to use the restroom. (Available now)
Q&A
Was it tough
finding your own
sound?
It did take me a
second. All those
years in One
Direction, we were
conscious about
the fan base. I’m
enjoying just saying,
“This is who I am,
take it or leave it.”
You and your
bandmates are
all happily doing
your own things.
It’s amazing. I saw
Niall [Horan] and
Liam [Payne] play
last year, and I’m
impressed with
the music Harry
[Styles] is releasing.
It’s cool to watch us
all grow.
