Josh O'Connor joined a band at school in a bid to get his classmate FKA Twigs to go out on a date with him.
'The Crown' star attended the same school as the musician – real name Tahliah Barnett – and acted alongside her in a production of 'Bugsy Malone', and has now revealed he had such a big crush on her he attempted to impress her by writing tough guy lyrics for his music group.
In an interview with GQ Hype, Josh explained: "I really shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s hilarious. I was in a band called Orange Output basically to try and get Twigs to go out with me. I was the lead singer, and one of the lyrics I wrote was ‘I’m addicted to crack, motherf*****.’ The closest thing I’d had to crack was Coco Pops.”
His attempt to land a date with her failed and Josh added: "I don’t think she knows who I am."
However, Twigs told the publication she was "flattered" by his attempt to woo her. She wrote in an email: "I’m very flattered that he tried to do that because I was definitely not cool and not particularly popular."
