Interview with Henry Smiles
He’s the most popular member of one of the most popular bands in the world. We met Two Direction’s Henry Smiles to find out why he has so many female fans.
Let’s get the basic questions out of the way first, Henry. How old are you and where are you from?
I was born in 1996 and I’m from Harrogate in the north of England. Now I live in London.
What are your likes and dislikes?
Well, I love music, of course, and sleeping and eating. And my dislikes? I don’t like it when I’m late for things.
What are your favourite films?
Spider-Man 2 and X-Men were pretty cool.
Is there anything that you’d like to be able to do?
I wish I could play the drums and the piano.
You are famous for your great hair. Would you cut it or shave it off?
Maybe I’d shave it off for charity, if I could raise a lot of money for doing it.
Do you like social networking?
Well, I don’t go on Facebook very much, but I do use Twitter a lot. It’s a good way to keep in touch with our fans.
Now the more interesting questions! Have you got a girlfriend, Henry?
No, not at the moment. I’m single!
What kind of girls do you like?
I like girls with a good sense of humour, who don’t take life too seriously. I also like being able to call someone in the middle of the night for a chat if I need to.
Do you prefer blondes or brunettes?
Oh, I like both! If we can have a laugh and we get on well, I don't care what colour hair they have.
Are you romantic when you’re in a relationship?
I reckon I am. I’d do anything for love!
Who did you have your first kiss with?
My first kiss? Hmm, I can’t remember very clearly, but I think it was with a girl at school when I was about thirteen.
Tell us a secret, Henry.
I still get really nervous before a concert and have to drink herbal tea! Even today, after having done hundreds of concerts, my hands sweat and my heart beats really fast just before going on stage.

Comments
today there is many talented artist and much of them I love them and their song but if I have to chose a singer I think it will be Drake. I love the way that he sing and he is handsome, talented and he care about people he is amazing.
It would be a bit old, but I like the group, 'Westlife'. This group is well-known for the music 'My Love'. But I personally like the song 'Dreams Come True'. The members of Westlife are Kian Egan, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, and Nicky Byrne. I love all of them! And as you know, their voices is so sweet, and the lyrics of them is soooo cool and memorable!! So why don't you listen some of those songs? There are so many songs which were published, such as Flying Without Wings, Fly Me To The Moon, If I Let You Go, I Have a Dream, I Lay My Love On You, I Wanna Grow Old With You, Lighthouse, Queen Of My Heart, Mandy, My Love, Seasons In The Sun, Something Right, Swear It Again, The Rose, Unbreakable, Uptown Girl, What About Now When You're Looking Like That, and You Raise Me Up. I strongly recommend these songs!
I enjoy listening Dua Lipa and other pop stars. Actually, I'm more in italian rap because I would like to learn that language. It's so beatiful!!!
My favourite singer is Selena Gomez . She from American . I like she because she is very beautiful and sing is good.When she 16 year old she dated Justin Bieber I really love that couple but they're just good friends now. But she still has no husband. Hope she has a good husband
All the good music is perfect.
Currently, I don't have favorite singer or musician. But lately I'm listening to Adele's songs.
Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is my favourite singer mainly because makes me care for the people and society around me. Besides, I feel like each and every song of Taylor Swift carries some kind of “secret” meanings. On top of that, unlike many other singers, Taylor Swift used to write and compose many of her songs by herself, and as a result, many of her songs have become hit. Finally, Taylor Swift is my favourite singer also because of her song "Safe and sound" is the first English song I have listened, it makes me like English music until now.
There are so many talented artists nowadays that it isn’t easy to pick one of them as my favorite. But maybe i choose Taylor Swifts. In fact, i’m in love with her songs. I listened her music when i was a little girl. Because the lyrics of her songs are romantic, beautiful and catchy, her song inspired me never to lose myself when I’m in trouble. Besides I love listening English songs and this improve my English skills
OMG, I can't believe it, henry said he had his first kiss at the age of 13 and when he was still a student. It is normal for western countries like you, but for us easterners it is a bit of a surprise. I liked the way he answered the question, it was so natural and engaging. Maybe that's why he has a lot of female fans
