My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGNShow. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it’s a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work I’ve admired from afar. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from The Eras Tour. I got to work with one of my favorite people in the world, Rodrigo Prieto, again! I had more fun than I ever imagined - Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐳 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐚 vence a Novak Djokovic (2-6, 6-2, 6-3 y 7-5) y se convierte en el tenista más joven en completar el Grand Slam.
🎾 Lo has visto en @Eurosport_ES y @StreamMaxES. #AusOpen#AO26
Con casi 39 años, Novak Djokovic ha llevado al límite a los dos monarcas del tenis actual en territorio cinco mangas.
Gane o no gane el 25º, hace tiempo que se metió en el bolsillo a aquellos que no entendieron entonces su grandeza.
Gracias, Nole, por honrar así a este deporte.
