Louis Tomlinson attempts to go incognito as One Direction superstar is spotted arriving in Australia ahead of his national tour

Louis Tomlinson made a quiet arrival in Sydney ahead of his national tour on Friday morning.

The former One Direction star, 32, played down his rock star reputation as he was spotted making his way through the terminal in a graphic t-shirt and sweatpants.

Louis tried to hide his famous face by wearing a cap and sunglasses.

The singer starts his national tour in Melbourne on Sunday.

He will next play arena shows in Sydney and Brisbane.

During his latest visit, Louis made headlines after accusing The Project’s Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar of stoking a One Direction feud.

Peter asked, “There’s been some 1D beef lately thanks to Liam, who’s been speaking out about the band a bit. When you look back on your experiences with the band, what do you think about your experiences at that time?’

A suspicious Louis replied: ‘Oh, so the fishing has already started! Yes, I see what you’re doing. No, listen, I’m extremely proud, as I know Liam is, obviously I’m extremely proud of that time.”

“It was an incredible thing to do, especially at such a young age and I have great memories, great memories.”

Carrie pushed Louis further, asking if he ever gets tired of still being linked to One Direction despite their split in 2016.

She asked, “Louis, when you say, ‘Oh well, the fishing has started,’ I can imagine how annoying it is to have to answer questions like that afterwards. Do you want to talk about that period in your life with the media, versus how much you never want to talk about it again?’

Louis replied, “I like to talk about it in every interview. It’s something I’m very proud of, like I said. It was just when you mentioned the beef earlier, it sounded like you were getting ready to cause some trouble, that’s all I’m saying.”

Peter agreed, “No, I’m not much of a stirrer Louis, do I look like a shit stirrer?”
