  • - See that, that was like the start of a buddy cop film.

  • [laughing]

  • [soft music]

  • - [Woman] I'm gonna ask you a bit

  • about your friendship with Lewis.

  • - Aw, how long have you got?

  • - Who?

  • [laughing]

  • - We met on social media, I slid into his DMs,

  • my cousin showed me his music online

  • when he had very small amount of views on a Vevo video.

  • - I was already established as an artist,

  • I was already, you know, smashing it in the charts,

  • tickets were flying out, off the shelves.

  • - It's because of me that he's so famous.

  • - He said to me, "Lewis, you, I'm kinda releasing this

  • "new album at the minute, you know I'm struggling

  • "to kinda fins my own feet as a solo artist,

  • "and obviously you seem to be doing such a good job."

  • - I just wrote to him and said, love your voice,

  • think you're funny, do you wanna get married?

  • And no, do you wanna come and play a show with me?

  • - You're the best solo artist in the world

  • and I was like, that's crazy, that's crazy talk.

  • - And he came to Glasgow, where he's from

  • and the rest is history.

  • First time I met him, I just thought he was a lunatic,

  • it was Saint Patrick's Day, we'd a few beers.

  • - And yeah that was it, he was, yeah, lovely chap,

  • a lot smaller than I'd anticipated,

  • a lot smaller in real life.

  • - We got very drunk and then we both played a show

  • the next day, which was fun.

  • - A good kid with a kind heart, that's what I thought,

  • this kid's got something.

  • - Well he's definitely more famous now.

  • And he's starting to change now that he's had a hit.

  • - Ever since then, there's my wing, he's under it.

  • - He's got the biggest song in the world right now

  • and he knows it, he claims that he's all humble and that

  • but he's not, he's lost the plot.

  • - I've just really been showing him

  • the ropes in the industry.

  • - We usually bond over heavy, copious amounts of alcohol.

  • - Right now when we're both in our 20s,

  • that's a very nice thing to say,

  • oh we both love a drink and everyone goes.

  • [laughing]

  • Look at these crazy scamps.

  • When we get into our 40s and 50s, and we say,

  • oh we bond over alcohol, that becomes quite sad.

  • - I guess we're in, supposedly into

  • the same type of sad music.

  • - We both love, and him a bit more than me,

  • him a bit more than me, we both love my music.

  • We always land on the same things, you know,

  • my voice, my lyrics are so good, but, that's what he says.

  • - He's very funny to be around, he makes me feel funnier,

  • even though I'm not that funny at all.

  • Hangs around with me, maybe it's 'cause I'm famous.

  • And he's just big into famous things these days.

  • - All joking aside, I'm a big fan of his

  • and have been for a long time.

  • - I love this guy, he's the funniest person I know,

  • and I'm so proud of him.

  • - Before any of my music was doing fuck all,

  • he's one of the first people to reach out

  • and say they love my music and it meant a lot to me.

  • - That little boy from Scotland,

  • taking over the planet with the biggest song in the world.

  • I love the guy.

  • [soft music]

  • - Don't look at it.

  • - What. - Don't look.

  • - I just wanna know how funny you're being.

  • - I'm not being funny at all.
