EXCLUSIVE: HRVY reveals which famous Stranger Things actor he's BFFs with
We spoke to HRVY and Jonas Blue!
Last updated 17th Sep 2019
Jonas Blue and HRVY dropped by KISS FM HQ this morning to chat to KISS Breakfast with Tom & Daisy... Except Tom's off on holiday! Daisy had a great chat with the guys, who have just teamed up for brand new single 'Younger', which we're playing here on KISS FM.
But there's one line in the song that has got a few people's backs up - including our producer, Mikey. So Daisy couldn't miss out on the opportunity to quiz the pair about it... Here's the lyric: 'One day we'll be 33 before we're old and grey.' Awks. 👀
But Jonas explained how the lyric had actually come about, "Basically the idea was that when I was writing the song, I always had HRVY in mind to sing this song and I knew that that lyric would catch people off-guard and think, 'Oh my god, 33, old and grey, is that right?'
"Everyone's mentioned it but basically it was the idea of coming from a younger person's perspective." Hmm, we'll let you off!
However, the most surprising bit of news to come out of the interview was the fact that HRVY actually has a very famous fan - in the form of Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown! HRVY told us all about how he's actually really good friends with the Eleven actress.
"I know Millie really well, she's really really cool," he explained. "She's so talented and I think it's really nice that she's so young and she's just doing so well. She's from the UK so it's like, proud to be British! She's really cool."
