Louis Tomlinson Shares Emotional Moment with Anthony Russell During 'X Factor' Auditions

Louis Tomlinson Shares Emotional Moment with Anthony Russell During 'X Factor' Auditions

Louis Tomlinson gave everyone chills during last night’s X Factor because of his connection with singer Anthony Russell.

Anthony had a second chance at the show after having to drop out last year.

“Anthony auditioned for the show a year ago… and he came in with a black eye for his first audition so he stole my heart straight away,” Louis shared on the show. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody at their first audition with a black eye.”

He added, “I’ve really gotten to know you over the past year and got to know your family and I think you’re a lovely, lovely lad.”

After Anthony dropped out of the show, due to personal problems with addiction, Louis tweeted public support for him and also DMed him on Twitter and offered him some help.

Then, Anthony went to rehab for four months and they ended up forming a really close friendship.

“I wouldn’t be here in this place now if it wasn’t for Louis,” Anthony shared on stage.

After getting a standing ovation for his rendition of Avicii‘s “Wake Me Up”, Louis ran up on stage to hug him.
