Keiynan Lonsdale’s “Kiss The Boy” Music Video Sparks Joy And Hits 100k Views
Keiynan Lonsdale, the 32-year-old Australian talent, has made waves with his latest music video. The clip for Kiss The Boy reached 100,000 views in just 13 days. This song is now Lonsdale’s most streamed track.
Lonsdale first released Kiss The Boy in 2018 with a lyric video. Fans sent in their own clips for that version. Now, the new video features model Sadiq Desh as “The Boy”.
The song came easily to Lonsdale. He drew inspiration from two sources: the film Love, Simon and the song Kiss The Girl from The Little Mermaid. The lyrics speak of longing and bravery in love.
Lonsdale’s career took off with roles in shows like Dance Academy, The Flash, and Supergirl. But it was Love, Simon that changed things for him. He played the main character’s love interest in this film.
In 2017, Lonsdale came out on Instagram. He wrote, “I like girls, and I like guys.” Later, in a 2022 Buzzfeed interview, he shared more about his identity. He now calls himself “quite happily a gay man” but notes that labels can change.
Lonsdale’s journey shows that coming out isn’t always simple. He stresses the importance of being patient with oneself. His message resonates with many who are figuring out their own identities.
The new Kiss The Boy video is out now. It’s a sweet reminder of young love that many will relate to.
