@Calum5SOS: Our next single cover for 'oil me up'

6 November 2023

[skepticalarrie]

It was ever confirmed that it’s Jackson on that footage with Freddie?

I’m pretty sure it is, I watched it back and it looks a lot like him. Plus Louis even mentions Jackson when Freddie is about to leave. Cal Aurand is in fact in the background when the kids are playing and he is, of course, credited in the documentary for all the 1D footage. So it makes sense!

[twopoppies]

lmaoo Louis says Aunt Jen and Cal is right there backstage! Does the anon think that was another Jackson then? What a coincidence that Freddies friend has the same name as Cal and Jen's son lol

Fkkhdkgdkgss some of my anons are so irritating, honestly. I love the insistence that we are the ones spreading false information, when it’s clearly not the case.

Harry & Louis • The hug • Nov 2015

Ok, Cal Aurand, I have some questions…Why are you stepping up in this particular moment?

[finexbright]

Plot twist was Jackson aka Harry's godson he has his name tattooed on his arm aka Cal Aurand's son being backstage with Freddie. I saw Cal and recognized him as someone that worked with 1d but forgot his name until Louis said something like Cal and Aunt Jen to Freddie and remembered Cal and his wife Jen were so close to Harry back then that Harry got their sons name on his arm in huge letters lmao but yeah he is the other kid Louis is seen playing with bts and that is with Freddie running around. Jackson also had a sign for Louis but I couldn't read what it said but it was written in the same colors and shapes as Freddie's sign so either they did it together right before the show or they are somehow related/friends and someone did both of the signs for them lol

ahh thank you for clearing that up! yeah they did have similar signs and they must've made it backstage together!

Hi Marte, do you know by any chance how was share this photo of H&L in Brazil? https://www.tumblr.com/larriestylinsons/109939271322/i-dont-think-ill-get-over-the-fact-that-this did it just appear online or something? I believe the photo is real I just was curious about it. I always like checking your blog thanks for answering questions

Hi, anon!

This is a cropped picture of an edit which is cropped from the original picture. It's confusing so i'll explain. It's what happens when original pics are stolen by editors and the edits are stolen and not linked to the source and the original source...

This is from early May 2014 when 1D went to visit Christ the redeemer. They were swarmed with fans and paparazzi. Cal Aurand was also there with his camera. This pic though was taken by a fan.

Source (or not...)

Here is the original full picture (Niall still owes us that selfie...):

Here is the cropped one:

Here is the original edit that was made of the cropped one:

So the post you linked to is a cropped version of the one above. It's real, but cropped and edited.

All the original posts of these pics are on my blog. Just go to my blog archive in May 2014.

i made an observation when i saw the documentary. i wanna know your opinions over it as well. so basically dont get me wrong i really loved all the parts which had louis and his current band, i think all of them are hilarious and definitely respect and enjoy louis' company a lot and i also think that louis admires them a lot and is close with them. now saying this i also think that all the footage which were used regarding 1d was deliberately dull??? like for example at the beginning when they're showing the bts content from 1d era, i know that moment was describing louis' feelings regarding the band disbanding right but regardless of that dont you think a deliberate decision was taken to include 1d scenes where they just dont look like they are close or like yk amicable......and then after that both the scenes with niall and liam it was majorly kinda awkward and short lived and not as exciting you would think it would be and its interesting knowing that liam and louis were hanging out in the hotel room and the camera person only came when louis was leaving liam's room...it definitely could be that all the 1d boys, like louis, have been on camera 24/7 so their purpose of hanging out surely wouldnt include a camera.....but regardless dont you think the way 1d scenes were kinda presented in the doc was really dull and almost included no chemistry amongst the boys...like i feel like they could have used better videos. cause the way louis talked about 1d in the whole doc was very uplifting and different from whatever scenes that were used. now idk if it was cal's intention cause i read your post about cal aurand yesterday or it was charlie's intention, tbh i am sort of questioning charlie's motivation a little bit ngl...with how he brought up the kid and all that. or it was louis' choice personally....or maybe im thinking too much out of nothing that could also be a possibility. regardless what do you think about this?

hey anon, thanks for asking for my input!

regardless of what was filmed and what 1d footage was available, it does seem deliberate the way in which the footage was included. maybe that's just how the boys were backstage for that final show (very mellow, not speaking to each other much due to what was about to happen). and imo facing simon in that moment (which... why was he featured so much in the first place) couldn't have made them feel any better. the way that the voice over and interviews overtop of the footage did compliment that "they're beginning to drift apart" concept as well. it is very interesting to contrast the 1d scenes to lt band, they are portrayed very differently!

going back to cal, it's clear he had involvement with this to the point where the footage was provided without much pushback? since when was sony ever okay with louis speaking out after his time in 1d? i find it interesting about this is i'm surprised he was allowed to release the footage (since it contains their likeness while as a unit of 1d). if you consider the input cal had early on with the boys stunting and being photographed like zoo animals, i'd say him being at the la n1 show made perfect sense. he literally choreographed and participated in the stunt being carried out just like he was doing in the 1d days ten years back. bc what else is bg if not a sony stunt that has backfired in every respect from the start.

i know not everyone agrees and that's fine, but it seems to me that charlie knew exactly what he was getting into when he was brought on for the project (mid 2019, possibly earlier). i think the intent behind this is to solidify the underdog and misunderstood member of 1d and dad image. ultimately what came of that was this documentary. i think of it like this: charlie is an employee of louis. louis meets this director and has this overarching thing he needs to get rid of. he also has a tour coming up and has a team who'd rather sit on their ass than promote him properly (i don't think they're unable to do much with his circumstance, but i think sjpr and seven are to blame in some respects). and so charlie agrees to the terms. he comes with louis to events and promo and starts to record and bg begins unravelling the way it does (hello b setting herself on fire, hello boobgate). so louis makes the decision to have this be apart of his next move. and somewhere in there sony/simco and whoever the fuck else said, yes. take our footage and our content and do your thing. but do it our way. (i.e. simon and xf being huge parts of the start of the film and NEVER portrayed negatively). obviously, charlie deciding to participate in this to this extent is something that he agreed to. i don't necessarily agree with that choice, it seems like louis confides in him and trusts him to do this for louis and his career.

also, contrary to what that old Larry blog said, Harry was not "filming his documentary in Feb 2016" and planning it in advance of that. There are a few seconds of rough footage of him writing Kiwi, taken by Cal Aurand in LA March 2016, that was used in the documentary. They also use archive footage from the 1D days in 2013....that's what documentaries do!

"There are a few seconds of rough footage of him writing Kiwi, taken by Cal Aurand in LA March 2016"

lmao princess cupcake believers are wild

y'all are like "of course he was filming one of his solo album singles in 2016 when he was writing and producing his solo album, this doesn't mean it was about his solo career".

absolutely wild.

[faith--in-the-future]

but look if some of the footage from cal aurand (he was like a charlie with 1d on tour) then i don’t think he had to pay too much+ this is us footage is from ben winston soooo 👀 i’m really interested in this as well tbh lol

Ben Winston asked for blood and louis sent oli's 😭😭😭

[skepticalarrie]

Who is Cal Auran? And Harry is the godfather of how many kid? Just Ben Winston' daughter and Cal Auran's son ?

Cal worked for 1D as a photographer/filmmaker, and then continued working with Harry as a solo artist for HS1. Some unseen footage of his was leaked last year, and ended up in the documentary, check out this tag. It was common knowledge he was pretty close to Harry during early days and Harry’s Jackson tattoo is for his son. As far as I’m aware it’s only rumored that Harry is Jackson’s godfather, Harry seems to be everyone’s godfather 😂😂 But I think Ruby is the only one he has ever confirmed. Regardless of that, they always seemed pretty close!

[twopoppies]

That Jackson/Cal Aurand anon reminded you got an anon about Louis being spotted in Wisconsin back in 2021. Getting gas or something and how non fandom people posted about it on Facebook. Now I think maybe it was real and he was visiting Cal. He was backstage at the LA show and posted a story there that day and his kid was playing with Freddie, so I think he stayed close to Louis.

Cal lives in Wisconsin???

[holo-styles]

The funny thing is that Harry dates people he meets. Like, I know this sounds very DUH, but it took me a while to realize why, for instance, he always dated models, and for a while it bugged me because I saw it as a Leo DiCaprio typa thing, but I just don’t think that’s what it was at all

Like, I obviously don’t know every single relationship he’s ever had, and a bunch of stuff we saw in the media was exaggerated or a lie, so I’ll only touch on the ones that are glaringly obvious were relationships/dates/hookups

Caroline Flack -> friends with Lou and Nick

Taylor Swift -> met her at the KCAs, probably kept in touch through their mutual friend Ed Sheeran who toured and collabed with her all of 2012

Kendall Jenner -> friends with Jeff

Nadine Leopold -> friends with Glenne

Paige Reifler -> (iirc) her family was friends with Cal Aurand’s family

Georgia Fowler -> friend with basically his entire group of friends

Camille Rowe -> friends with Alexa and a ton of other people in his NYC group

He wasn’t out there scouring IMG catalogues or watching Victoria’s Secret and taking notes. He didn’t actually use Instagram as Tinder (some people on here who used to say “he’s gonna end up like Leo” also used to say that), in fact I think Camille and Olivia are his only exes he followed on IG. He just met people through friends! It just so happens that his friends have friends in the modeling world. I presume once you meet one you meet a bunch since they tend to have the same circle of friends. It doesn’t hurt that they’re easy on the eyes, my man is human I would date them too, but it’s not like actresses or musicians wouldn’t be just as conventionally pretty (I mean he’s dating one of the most objectively beautiful women in the world and she ain’t a model).

It’s kinda crazy how unfair people are with Harry, including myself, because I too judged him for, essentially, dating people in his circle, when it was probably really hard for him to find people he could trust 🫤 (and some of those people weren’t worth his trust anyway)

Yeah, most people date people they meet through their friends or through work. It’s the most normal thing in the world.

CAL AURAND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UNCLE #1

What’s a comfort goat?

When horses (race horses for example) are nervous or anxious they are often paired with a goat to help calm them down. The goat becomes a loyal companion to that horse and the goat is refered to as a 'comfort goat'.

In Louis' case his comfort goat when stunting is this ginger guy (litterally) in between Louis and Danielle 😄

In Harry's case it's differed between for example Cal Aurand, Jeff, his other management people or some of his friends. Right now it looks to be his assistant Luis or his trainer/bodyguard Brad he drags along. Harry used to do stunts without handlers/comfort goats around, but now it's seems he needs them too. They are never far away.

someone said the Jackson hanging out with freddie at LTWTLA was Harry's godson aka cal aurand's kid i need someone to confirm this please
