An iconic 90s pop star has taken inspiration from one of 2023’s most iconic movies for a music video you won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
For the first time in 12 years, Chesney Hawkes, 52, has released new music and along with it, he is sharing with his fans an X-rated music video.
Inspired by Barry Keoghan’s infamous scene in the Emerald Fennell-directed film Saltburn, in which the Irish actor dances around the Catton family’s estate completely nude, Chesney has ditched his clothes in the name of art.
Sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video for his new single, Get A Hold Of Yourself, which was filmed in the same mansion that Cillian Murphy’s Peaky Blinders character, Thomas Shelby, lived in, the singer looks to be having the time of his life.
Photos shared exclusively with the Daily Mail show the singer grinning as he throws his bare leg over a marble bathtub, while another sees him lying provocatively on a chair.
Speaking to the news outlet, the Here Comes My Baby singer explained his thought process behind the nude shoot, admitting it’s good to ‘let go’ sometimes.

‘It’s good for us all to let go of ourselves sometimes and feel free – especially for me in my 50s… I wanted to show a different side of myself … even if it was my rear side.
‘I jumped on the opportunity for my new video to get naked and dance like nobody was watching! Who wouldn’t in Thomas Shelby’s house!’
But he says that while the single may surprise some fans due to its dance vibe, the accompanying nude music video did not shock his family.
He explained that his wife, Kristina, is used to him taking his clothes off ‘anytime I can’, but their children, Casey, 23, Jesse, 21, and Indi, 18, are convinced he’s having a ‘midlife crisis’.
‘There was a lot of laughter going on and slight embarrassment going on. But they’re cool with it,’ he said.
