The actor's Honest Playlist: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life

The first song I fell in love with
One autumn afternoon, I felt unwell and stayed in as a six-year-old. My parent inquired, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She started Help! the film, after which I played it repeatedly using her device all day long.

My karaoke go-to
David Bowie songs are enjoyable, including Fame and Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, but I love the energy. Lately I sang Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which bored everyone, though I loved it.

The debut physical music I owned
Friends were into Paradise from Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. It occurred during my debut California journey. I wanted to get some music. I acquired those two albums during that visit.

The music with all words in my head
My sibling had Incredibad by the humorous ensemble as a compact disc. He played it constantly during drives. As a youth listening to material considered off-limits felt exciting.

The best song to play at a party
This classic from The Emotions because it sounds happy. Its tempo is flawless. It's pleasant to hear, cool and challenging, so it suits everyone.

The song I can no longer listen to
As I explored rock music, I loved Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard the well-known song, I got hooked, but now I can't hear it.

The perfect number to reinterpret
Currently, my band and I perform the Only Ones classic. I love that song.

The life-altering track
I'm featured in the visual for the Pup song. I played the younger version of the singer. It was my first music video. It introduced intense audio, pushing me into the alt scene.

The song that makes me cry
Alvvays' Belinda Says.

The memorial service music
My dad and I have an inside joke concerning this idea. I'm uncertain about choosing it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
