Waterloo Road (2006)

[louisupdates]

It’s not something I’ve really thought about too much, to be honest. There’s so much for me to do, and so much still for me to do, musically. Something I like about music is that it’s a chance for me to give myself expression, whereas to act, you have to become someone else. I’m happy doing what I’m doing at the moment.

Actor Louis in 'Between Us' perfume x

[blouisparadise]

Upon request, here is a rec list of bottom Louis fics where Harry, Louis, or both are actors. We hope you enjoy these. Happy reading!

1) Storms Don't Last Forever | Mature | 5326 words

After being away for an entire week to promote his new movie, Harry arrives home thinking he'll be attacked in endless amounts of affection. Instead, he finds a dark apartment that looks the same way he left it.

2) Thank You, Five. | Explicit | 5669 words

“Harry?” He says as soon as he recognises the other man.

“Louis? Wh-what are you doing here?” Harry asks with a frown.

“Well, I’m here for rehearsal,” Louis announces with a proud smile.

There’s a flash of confusion on Harry’s face. “What do you mean rehearsal? I got the part, you didn’t.”

3) Take Me To Your Heart | Explicit | 6112 words

Note: This fic has mentions of top Louis/bottom Harry.

London Night Bus AU where all Harry wants to do is sleep, but he has a drunk man singing at him.

4) Paper Houses | Explicit | 11635 words

When model Louis Tomlinson admits to having a celebrity crush on a very famous actor in an article in GQ magazine, he has no idea it will lead to anything. He definitely never suspects he will fall so hard and so fast for Harry Styles. When reality begins to interfere, their relationship is put to the test.

5) (Won't You) Stay to the A.M. | Mature | 15538 words

Harry tucked a few loose strands back up into the bun on top of his head and headed to the front of the building.  He really would rather no one saw him behind the gym where he worked if possible so they wouldn't have a chance to catch on that the address he gave for work was actually his friend Ed’s and the number belonged to his buddy Niall. 

Harry didn’t like the term homeless, because he was making at least some money now and he was actively looking for a better gig so he could actually afford at least a bed in this massive city, but that’s basically what he was.  It’s nothing to be ashamed of, he knew that, sometimes shit just happened and this was how it turned out, but he also didn’t want to broadcast his situation if he didn’t have to either.  

Especially if Louis Tomlinson, Britain's most talented young actor, was going to be frequenting Harry's place of employment on a regular basis.

6) Your Good Side | Explicit | 15870 words

Note: This fic is part of a series, but each fic stands alone.

AU where Harry can't seem to win over his Dunkirk co-star. Inspired by Joey and Kate from Friends.

7) Power Couple | Mature | 17631 words

Harry Styles thought he had his life all figured out. He was a varsity football player in year nine, he had all the girls, and some guys, throwing themselves at him, and he had a good life. It isn't until a certain boy makes him forget about all he's had.

Louis Tomlinson. Young, smart, beautiful, and the one person Harry could never charm. Until he finally agreed to go on a date with him.

Now, Harry's 21 and professional and still in love with Louis, whose also world famous, but not for football. He's a model/actor.

When a certain interview gets the attention of Louis' flatmate, and best friend, Zayn, can that change the mind of Louis? And what if a yes results in a baby?

8) I Don't Want You To Leave, Will You Hold My Hand? | Mature | 19311 words

After breaking up with his boyfriend and going on one too many pap walks, Louis starts to consider moving home to London for a fresh start. Pinkberry employee and all-around good listener Harry makes him maybe not want to.

9) Singing To Tiny Dancer | Explicit | 22734 words

Note: This fic is the first part in a series. It looks like the other fics in the series that have smut are BL.

When everything gets to be a bit too much for A-list actor Louis Tomlinson, he runs back to the town he had never really called home and the boy who was the only one he did.

10) CAROLINA (Given a Chance) | Explicit | 24521 words

Louis will swear on his life he doesn’t know a Harry Styles, but that won’t explain why the lead single off Harry’s album, “Carolina”, is most definitely about him.

11) Drain To The Stars | Explicit | 28002 words

Louis lived a very quiet life at his inherited book shop in Notting Hill, until Oscar-winner Harry Styles walked through the door.

12) Play Me Like One of Your French Girls | Explicit | 26966 words

Louis is Hollywood’s ‘Bad Boy and Sometimes Darling’, and Harry is the clumsy, endearingly attractive part-time cellist whose cello gets upgraded to the seat next to his on the plane. They fall in love.

13) Building Me Up (But Buttercup, You Lied) | Explicit | 331007 words

Harry’s mouth felt dry just saying those words. What he had with Louis was so much more than a simple ‘fuck buddies’ situation. It was slow kisses in the morning between soft sheets and shy smiles, it was holding hands in the afternoon while walking and eating ice cream. It was breakfast for dinner, laughing and licking honey from each other’s lips as they shared goals and even some secrets, it was happiness, it was glow.

To Harry, what he had with Louis meant everything. Until Louis decided it meant nothing

14) If I Should Stay | Explicit | 31185 words

Louis is a television actor who suddenly needs a bodyguard.  Harry is the bodyguard he ends up hiring. 

15) Inside The Magic Hour | Explicit | 32432 words

Given the chance to create a queer remake of 1981 Film Noir classic, Body Heat, up-and-coming director Harry Styles casts one of his best friends in a leading role. Unfortunately, this proves to be a real test of his patience and creative professionalism, when he casts the beautiful and sweet Louis Tomlinson to portray the male version of the feminine and seductive Maddy Walker.

16) What Our Souls Were Meant To Do | Mature | 34106 words

18) Baby Blue | Explicit | 39439 words

Harry Styles takes his time coming out to greet them. Louis only knows what he’s seen on file and what he’s heard them talking about, but he fully lives up to the image he had inside of his head.

He saunters down the front steps of the farmhouse in his Levi’s, brown snakeskin boots curving out from underneath the denim Louis’ sure he had specially made. He’s got on a plaid button-down tucked into the jeans because of course he does, curls spilling out from either side of his cowboy hat around his sunglasses and country-tan skin.

“Harry Styles,” he drawls, extending a hand to Louis’ manager, “Pleased to meet ya’ll.”

19) Even If It’s Just Pretend (Say You'll Remember Me) | Explicit | 45446 words

“I’ve been told that you have a hard time talking to pretty boys,” he bats his eyelashes, watching something flash across Harry’s gaze, happy to know that he's getting under his skin so easily, “Didn’t know how else to get me in your bed.”

Harry laughs, turning back to face the bar, leaving Louis to stare at the way his shoulders move with every hiccup of laughter. “If I wanted to fuck you, then I wouldn’t need drugs to do it. You’d be begging for it.”  

Louis rolls his eyes and rests his elbows on the smooth, polished surface, “Like there would be room for me in your bed with you and your ego.”

“Don’t forget my cock, although I’m sure that you wouldn’t complain about that taking up space.”

“God."

20) Million Dollar Man | Explicit | 47624 words

“I’m putting myself out on a limb here but…” Harry pauses, reaching out to grab a hold of Louis’ hands tentatively. Louis’ a bit taken back, but his hands are so warm and Louis’ hands are so cold from handling the ice in the back. “You shouldn’t have to work in a place like this, I could… I could take care of everything. You can quit here and pursue Broadway full time,” Harry says, voicing quivering and Louis can feel his hands shaking and Louis holds onto them tightly.

“I don’t understand, are you an agent or do you just invest money in young actors?” Louis asks, eyebrows furrowing slightly as he chews on his bottom lip.

“Let me take you out, hm? We can talk more about it. I can pay for your tuition and…” Harry trails off, and Louis gasps quietly, leaning in towards Harry.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you asking to be my… sugar daddy?” Louis asks, lowering his voice and Harry can’t help but chuckle.

“Something like that, yeah,” Harry replies, squeezing the boy’s hands and smiling at his flushed cheeks and innocent expression.

21) We’ll Get It Right In The End. | Explicit | 53612 words

Harry Styles is what the media is currently revolving around. He's young, he's attractive and apparently good at everything.

22) Home To You | Explicit | 54078 words

23) Into The Midnight Sun | Explicit | 63253 words

Hello Gina, I have a question, a while ago I heard a rumor about a movie about a soccer player (Jamie Vardy), supposedly Louis was among the options to appear in it, even Louis and Vardy follow each other on networks (Vardy only follows football players) . Do you know if any of this continues? Or is the movie delayed while Louis tours for him?

Hi love. Yeah, they seem friendly (at least publicly — Louis went to his wedding years ago). And there were rumors about a film, but as far as i know, nothing has come of it.

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

I don't think Louis isn't interseted in acting per se i think he's not willing to pursue it and give auditions left and right in hopes of getting roles while he could spend that time touring or making music. But if he were offered a good role and a good script and was asked to audition for it or if they gave it to him,i think he'll accept. At least that's the vibe that i got from his Ladbible interview (he said that that'd be cool but not really and also said it's complimentary to think he would

have been an actor if the singing route didn't work out) but that's just me. Actor Louis is MY ULTIMATE DREAM. If it happens i'll be found dead from overexcitement

My sense was that Louis felt too committed / on a roll with his music to disrupt the flow for an acting opportunity, which has uncertain rewards.

Given the media weirdness around him, and the fact that Louis’ reputation in the music industry is still shaky, venturing into another entertainment area is a risk. Louis’ first love is music. I don’t think he’d want to compromise it.

But if the right role or cameo came along, I can see Louis sinking his teeth in!

And yes, there is a built in fandom ready to spend money to watch ANYTHING Louis does.

[bivampir]

it's SO funny that when asked what he had to do to prepare for his role in IWTV Sam Reid says he had to learn how to play the piano, learn to speak French, Italian, and English with a French accent. Bailey read IWTV religiously and added her own comments, and kept an actual fucking journal she wrote entirely as Claudia. meanwhile Jacob Anderson, when asked the same question, just responds with “oh nothing, i was already emo”. icons and legends only

[sweetest-devotion]

I truly believe Louis can act, like proper act only if he’d give it a chance (and to be offered good roles obvi)

anon right?! he's got the charisma and the allure for it definitely, i think of him in this medium often ngl, because louis has a leo moon and people of that sign are zealous and at home in the arts. And there’s an early compulsion to show off that can lead to artistic achievement and winning all the popularity contests (louis circa 2010-2012 :')) they’re basically soothed in the spotlight (which for their loved ones can be at times wildly entertaining, and at other times utterly overwhelming lol) like their theatrics can seem over the top so yeah i think he could be a really good actor if he acquired and learned the techniques of the craft!
