"I've loved him since the beginning, even before 'Super Size Me'," one fan told HuffPost UK Comedy. "I followed his progress as a young playwright in New York."

"He's my favourite, he’s just so cool," gushed her friend. "Documentaries, TV shows, web series... We just love him. We're the most dedicated fans in the world!"

'This Is Us' premieres in Leicester Square on Tuesday night. It follows the story of a little-known boyband from England called One Direction.
