I'm sorry but why do you hate the cosmopolitan interview?
Ahead of his first solo album, the former 1D member talks being authentic, embracing the fans, and why hangovers are infinitely worse at 27.
^This is the cosmopolitan article that I am heavily against.
Anon, guessing you came from this post of mine, I'm going to want you to read the article first, till then you won't understand my point.
So, the whole article surrounds the idea of louis going solo and his new album, but rather than any information on that, I found out that louis was hungover and immature. This is what the model - Marlee Bell - that did the shoot with him has to say about Louis.
Now, he may have been hungover in the duration of this interview, but the point is, this article is supposed to be promotion of a budding artist and this is definitely not how that might be done. No offence, but l/harries build there receipts more interestingly than this. This is my opinion on 'How the to Assert One Single Thing for 1k Straight by Cosmopolitan':
“I’ve never been more conscious of my age, at 27,” he tells me a few hours later while sitting on a couch in a now-empty photo studio, with perfect afternoon selfie light coming through the windows, still obviously nursing a hangover from the night before.
The first time it is referenced, here the reader accepts that.
Like, say, if he showed up hungover to something (cough, cough), he could usually depend on Harry, Liam, Niall, or Zayn to be on their game. But now, it’s just him.
One more time, in a very outright and passive-aggressive way. Take notice of how this can bury the thought in your subconscious, that louis is what he was marketed as during the years of 1d- this drunk careless boy depending on his bandmates to cover for his acts. Do you not feel this is pushing the same image? Something is trying to be projected? This seems to remind me a bit too much of the throwing of zouis under the bus than my liking. Cosmopolitan? Clichépolitan? We may never know.
He even looks more mature, in part because he’s not trying to do the fluffy boy-band hair anymore.
Now at this point, it might be because I'm just getting frustrated at this and that's why this irks me but honestly, pretty sure there wasn't anything wrong with having that haircut at the age of 18-24. Again, reminds me of all the time it has been pushed that louis is the least attractive or successful member of one direction. I won't stray from the topic here though, can't start following this interviewer's footsteps.
My overall problem with the article isn't that big, just a little something I read that put me off a little, didn't sit right with me, but still- I've been procrastinating answering this for to long. The interview just didn't seem to reflect positively and louis already has enough negative media exposure or very weak/no pr. From what all I've read by Cosmopolitan, they aren't that mature themselves - I doubt most news sites are. The most implications from this article was that this is an ex-boybander trying to grasp the last of his youth and pushing all boundaries of immaturity. I'm not denying that he may be trying to live his damn life, but there wasn't any need to emphasize it. The media and the public relation forum and speculation have never been great altogether and this is just one more, there isn't any need for me to dig into this particular article anymore when its just a miniscule problem in the thousands. My problem is negative media, not cosmopolitan. This is media's fantasy world and we're all just peasants in it. Poor us.
