The twenty-three-year-old crooner Shawn Mendes is, hands down, one of the sexiest men ever to exist on planet Earth. If you don't agree with this statement, then I suggest you move on. For the rest of you, welcome. Mendes stands at 6' 2" tall and has the most enviable, athletic, smooth, perfect body this side of the Missi-sit-on-me. And that face? Damn. His adorable smile and head of dark curly locks are straight-up manty wetting material. But why don't we ever talk about what's inside that head? Today we get a glimpse of Mendes' big, pink, throbbing brain thanks to a clip from a recent interview!

In this new video, a soulful Mendes opens wide up about how his sense of self shifted when he switched from wearing Chelsea boots to Converse sneakers. This is not a drill. This really happened, and now we find ourselves questioning all of our footwear decisions! Mendes reveals that the transition has helped him take himself less seriously "in a really good way." Menes also says that when it comes to switching footwear styles, "Everyone takes it at their own pace."

You know what I take at my own pace? That big double-wide Red Bull can cock. If this insight didn't send you into an existential death spiral, then you might have simply been distracted by Mendes' body. In the clip we can see those achingly gorgeous muscles, as well as a tuft of chest fuzz that should be enough to get you through the rest of Friday. We love you Shawn Mendes, and your big gaping soul!
