Its time to put the rumors to rest. In One Directions heyday, the bromance between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson was so strong that fans gave them a nickname: Larry Stylinson. Their bond inspired fan fiction - often erotic - and led to more than a few rumors about their hush-hush, behind-the-scenes romance. It created this atmosphere between the two of us where everyone was looking into everything we did. It took away the vibe you get off anyone. It made everything a little bit more unapproachable. I think shows that it was never anything real, if I can use that word. It kind of happened naturally for me and Harry, Tomlinson explains, because a certain amount of the fans drew up this conspiracy. Theres no politics or anything. Inevitably in a band, youre going to get some people who get on really well and some people who get on quite well. I have forever had a very, very high level of respect for Harry. Hes great in this situation, hes great on stage, hes a great musician and artist, he says.
