Haley Lou Richardson is no longer with White Lotus. In this hotel he met his icon in the elevator.
Two months after revealing his childhood crush on Nick Jonas on The Late Late Show, The White Lotus actor is starring in the music video for their new song Wings.
A video released on February 24 shows Richardson dancing with a group of girls in a hotel room. The actor wore shiny burgundy pants and a purple coat while driving the luggage cart while lip-syncing, "You are soaring wings."
At one point, Richardson put on a tie as a blindfold and walked toward the cardboard cutout of the Jonas Brothers, right down to Nick, before leaning down to kiss the photograph.
After exiting the hotel room, the group heads for the elevator, which opens to reveal three singers. When asked by Nick Jonas, Richardson was at a loss for words.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Richardson wrote, "It was the most surreal day of my life. I'm so grateful. And I got to do it with some of my best friends."
The Jonas Brothers' official Instagram page commented: "Thanks for the tie (and for giving us your dance moves to our song).
Her 'Five Feet Apart' co-star Cole Sprouse added: Jessica Capshaw of Grey's Anatomy wrote: 'It doesn't get cuter or more magical than this… Congratulations to the Jonas Brothers for letting you direct their music video! »
In another post, Richardson shared a photo of himself wearing a Jonas Brothers tie, meeting the band and watching one of their performances.
commented Katie Couric. "We all want this for you Hayley!!!
While appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden in December, Richardson revealed he's always been a Jonas Brothers fan.
He explained that he met her about 15 years ago and wrote her AOL username, Hayley Jonas, on her Converse sneakers.
Later in the episode, FaceTime's Corden Richardson surprised Nick Jonas.
"I just finished 'White Lotus' last night," the "Jealous" singer told Richardson.
"You were a big part of my childhood and therefore in my life forever," she replied through tears. "Like I said, all my Converse I owned in elementary school and college have your name on them. I'm so proud of you and now, like a few days ago, I go to your concerts as an "grown up, I wanna" proud with you three and so happy for your life and your creative endeavours and your family and i love you.
Nick Jonas replied, "That means the world."
He also answered one of Richardson's burning questions. Did he get the tie he wanted to give when they met 15 years ago?
Even though she says no, he says he wants a personalized tie from her.
"Next time you come to the show, bring a different tie and I'll make sure it comes to me," he said as Richardson tried to catch his breath.
