One Direction star Louis Tomlinson opened up about being a father.

The pop star was 24 when he had his first child with his ex Briana Jungwirth in 2016.

The singer welcomed his only son Freddie Tomlinson in January of 2016 and became the first member of the group to become a father.

Louis said he tries to spend as much time with him as possible because he is based in UK while Freddie lives in US with his mother.

In conversation with The Independent, Louis said “I’m pretty much playing full-time dad when I’m out there. I don’t do loads of work.”

Calling his son “good as gold”, he talked about his school time and being a young dad.

“I’m still the youngest dad there. It kills me in the mornings though ... I’ve never been great at early starts.”, he said.

Despite becoming a father at the young age of 24, Louis said he was “utterly confident”.

In another interview he said “I never was intimidated by the idea, I've always been excited about it, even from being a young lad.”
