As pop sensation Shawn Mendes continues to thrill fans with his chart-topping hits, he’s now given a rare glimpse into his personal life, and it’s a surprisingly relatable one.
The 26-year-old singer recently took to social media to share a few select screenshots from his phone, which may leave many of his devotees nodding their heads in agreement. Among the curated collection was a photo of David and Victoria Beckham, caught in the midst of an everyday moment – or, at least, as everyday as a glamorous celebrity couple can make such moments seem.
But what caught attention was the inclusion of another A-lister, Brad Pitt, and the reason why Shawn decided to save a shot of him. “I was looking for a good jacket,” he deadpanned, providing a humorous explanation for the unexpected addition to his phone’s gallery.
The nod to Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor, however, wasn’t the only surprise in the singer’s impromptu phone tour. He also treated fans to a glimpse of American rock climber Alex Honnold, though it was a peculiar factoid that earned his share of attention. Apparently intrigued by the climber’s remarkable hand size, Shawn quipped, “Those are the thickness of his fingers. You’ve never seen fingers that thick in your life, for sure.”
These personal snapshots offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the life of a global superstar, one that’s less focused on the glamour of fame and more on the everyday minutiae that fill the pages of one’s camera roll. It’s a humble, humanizing side of Shawn Mendes, one that fans will likely appreciate and connect with.
