These fan theory followers are known as Larry shippers and they have not stopped analyzing Harry and Louis' friendship. Over the years, fans have dedicated several fan fiction and fan theories about this rumoured relationship. In an interview with The Sun back in 2017, Louis Tomlinson commented for the first time on the Larry fan theory and shared his take on his friendship with bandmate Harry Styles. In the interview, Louis said that when the Larry fan theory surfaced for the first time, he was dating his now-girlfriend Eleanor Calder.

Louis Tomlinson explained that these rumours felt quite disrespectful to Eleanor and he is protective about people he is close to. Hence, he was not happy about them. In the interview, Louis revealed how these rumours also affected his friendship with Harry Styles. He said that it created an atmosphere where the two were being observed under a microscope and their every move was taken as a sign of the same. It took away the “vibe” they previously felt with each other. Louis added that the rumours made them “unapproachable” about anything.
