Chesney Hawkes draws inspiration from Saltburn as he strips down for Get A Hold Of Yourself video – Music News

Chesney Hawkes took inspiration from Barry Keoghan’s nude scene in ‘Saltburn’ for his new music video.

The 52-year-old star has released his first new single in 12 years, ‘Get A Hold Of Yourself’, and mimicked the scene where Barry’s character Oliver Quick dances naked around the mansion at the end of the film for the cheeky video.

Chesney told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “You can really do whatever you want.

“Not caring is really important in life. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to have fun with the music video for this song.

“I got naked in this video and I was like, ‘Fuck, I’m having fun.’ What I will say is it’s based on the last scene of ‘Saltburn.'”

Chesney revealed that his children – Casey, 23, Jesse, 21, and Indi, 18, who he shares with wife Kristina – laughed at the nude video, calling it a “midlife crisis” for their dad.

The “One and Only” singer said: “There was a lot of laughter and a little embarrassment. But they’re okay with it.

“I have an 18-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 23-year-old. They’re like, ‘This is just Dad doing his thing, having fun, having a midlife crisis.'”

Chesney thinks his new single might surprise some of his fans because it has a “dance feel.”

He explained: “There’s a kind of dance feel to the song that might surprise people. What I wanted was for people to hear it on the radio and think, ‘Is that Chesney Hawkes?!'”
