Louis Tomlinson, One Direction band member, Singer/Song Writer and X Factor judge is one of arguably the most well-known alumni of the show, is mentoring the boy’s category this series. Since the show started to air many viewers of the show have continuously praised Louis for showing his emotions, and for how he treats the boys in his category calling him a role model for highlighting that it’s ok for men to show emotion and isn’t something they should shy away from.

Louis has shown his emotional side a few times on the show and has developed a close bond with the acts he mentors within the competition.

It’s not just X Factor where Louis has shown he’s not afraid of showing emotion.  The songs he’s written as both a solo artist and as a member of One Direction, show he’s in touch with his emotion.

Having a male like Louis in the public eye, showing that it’s ok for men to show emotion is a positive step in breaking down the stigma that surrounds talking about mental health is something that should be applauded.

Fans of the show like comedian Felicity Ward have taken to Twitter to publicly praise Louis. The Charity The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is an award-winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. In 2015, 75% of all UK suicides were male.

p2. allegedly tomlinson was always falling out with the people working for them. got really worked up about any sort of casual homophobia. gay or not, that little dude is aggressively defensive of his lgbt fans. like I will call that shit out myself if it justified, but when someone is actively NOT homophobic I reckon its important to set the record straight (no pun intended)
