Never gonna start you up
HERE’S 80s pop icon Rick Astley branching out into thrash music to film his new video. The Never Gonna Give You Up singer sees red when a dodgy Del Boy-style three-wheeler lets him down and deserts him. Rick, 52, jumps up and down in a rage and, copying John Cleese in 70s comedy classic Fawlty Towers, gives his car a lashing. Then, in a scene worthy of Only Fools and Horses, he manages to get himself wet, wet, wet, with a hosepipe. But Rick’s shoot for She Makes Me in leafy Surrey was a world away from Del Boy’s Peckham. According to the album the song’s from its a Beautiful Life. So why act like such a plonker?
