NewsJanuary, 12 Rick Astley reveals unexpected secret of Never Gonna Give You Up music video![]() Rick Astley has surprised fans by sharing secrets from the set of his iconic Never Gonna Give You Up music video. The 58-year-old music icon was a chart star in the 1980s and has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years since his song became a Rickrolling meme in the mid-noughties. But now the singer has been sharing unexpected secrets about the music video in a new interview with The Sunday Times's Style magazine. Revealing that he styled himself in the 1987 video, he said, "Everyone else who was making videos at the time, they'd have a stylist, but I remember bringing a black holdall with clothes in it to the shoot. "If you look at the video closely and see close-ups of my shoes, they're old brogues that have seen quite a few miles." He added, "My first song, Never Gonna Give You Up, that video is etched into my DNA now. All I have to do is wear a stripy blue t-shirt under a blazer if we're out touring and the audience goes mad." He also picked out his personal style icon, saying, "David Bowie - he looked amazing in everything, even trying to be an alien. "The pinnacle for me was the Live Aid gig in 1985. He came on wearing a pale suit with really baggy trousers and a shortish jacket, and his hair was coiffed but as if he had just turned up, said, 'I don't need a mirror, darling,' and headed straight to the stage. He owned it."
