Scott Evans plays Darren Hayes’ love interest in passionate new music video
Darren Hayes has released his first new song in over a decade. The lead single from the Australian singer’s upcoming project, Let’s Try Being In Love is inspired by queer icons such as Patrick Cowley and Shep Pettibone, as well as Luca Guadagnino’s beloved gay romance Call Me By Your Name.
In a statement, Hayes said: “I’ve been married to Richard (Cullen) for almost 17 years, I’m in this really comfortable place in my life.
But at the same time at mid-life I’m grieving the fact I never got to celebrate who I really was at the period of my life where I was most famous. “I look at this world we live in now where someone like Lil Nas X can push forward his true self, full of pride and self-love and have the chance to be loved for who he truly is.
I was realising with great sadness that I didn’t get that experience. A lot of the time I was my most famous, I was deeply sad.” Directed by Andrew Putschoegl, the music video features American actor Scott Evans, best known for his roles as Oliver Fish on One Life to Live and Oliver on Grace and Frankie, as well as Lucifer and Castle alum Madeleine Coghlan.
