Perth’s home-grown movie star son Troye Sivan says he has lots on his plate now he’s 28 — like making Hollywood films, chart-topping albums … and getting his head round his “transition into white twunk”.
The My My My hitmaker is reflecting on his movie star inventory after ending capturing celeb-studded and controversial TV present The Idol with Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd. Sivan admits when his success makes his head go pop, the data that he can bolt again to Australia instantly calms the farm.
“I’ve always known that if everything was to go to s… or it didn’t work, I could go back to my family in Australia and everything would be OK,” says the singer.
“That, as a trying artist is such a privilege that can’t be overstated, having that kind of comfort and security.
“I’m still well aware of the fact that (Los Angeles) is all kind of a big fantasy. And in my head, real life is still not here.”
Sivan has damaged boundaries within the pop world and Hollywood as an out-and-proud “twink” – brazenly singing about his romances and flings. But he now finds himself dealing with the very fact being a younger fairly homosexual lad expires within the homosexual world, he claims, at age 25.
“Pre-COVID, I was just kind of going, going, going and any sort of growing up or changes in my appearance felt fine because I was too busy thinking about what I had to do that day or whatever. And then it really hit me during COVID. I think it was just like being 25. I feel like a lot of twinks can probably relate. It’s like, ‘What happens afterwards? Do I try and start going to the gym? Do I go for a muscle vibe?’ I just didn’t know what to do and it did kind of freak me out,” the star stated after posing up a deal with for Britain’s Man About Town journal.
“And, I want to say, it’s not the biggest plight in the world and I’m so aware of how annoying it is to hear a white twink talk about the transition into white twunk,” he jokes. “Like, ‘shut up!’”
Not that he cares an excessive amount of.
“I’m just not 21 anymore, you know?” he provides.
“I also don’t really read what people say about me or my body anymore, whereas I used to. But to be completely honest, it’s an interesting struggle, and I don’t think I have it figured out.”
Whilst he is likely to be put out to pasture from the twink field, he’s definitely not executed clubbing and having fun with one-night stands.
“I love partying,” the I’m So Tired… star stated. “I love going out and I love my friends. I’m writing songs about strangers that I meet and spend one night with. So that feels pretty chill to talk about.
“I’ve always said that honesty is the number one most important thing with my writing,” he says of placing his experiences into chart-topping tunes. “My approach has always been, ‘Hold nothing back and deal with the ramifications of that afterwards.” When he’s not pondering about music, age or his stature within the homosexual group, Sivan has been mixing it with La La Land’s largest names on set. He stars as a fallen pop star’s stylist in sex-laden HBO collection Idol, reverse Depp — who performs the pop star Jocelyn.
Far from being star-struck, Sivan says the expertise was like his days rising up in Perth and going to highschool in Dianella. “It was like being at high school because we were seeing each other every single day,” he stated of their chats about boys. He is satisfied along with his jack-of-all trades profession and glad he doesn’t need to be pigeon-holed in any extra bins. “If somebody said to me, ‘What do you do?’ I don’t know why but I’m just not programmed yet to be like, ‘I’m a singer and an actor,’” he stated. “I think I just want people to trust me creatively. I’ve always wanted people to be like, ‘Oh, wait, what? Troye made another album, that should be cool,’ or ‘Troye is in a TV show. I’m excited to watch that.’
“I just love the work so much,” he says. “I think I’m the most happy and chill I’ve ever been.”
