Fans lose it over new photos of Shawn Mendes

A popular singer has left fans gushing over some fresh photos that have emerged.

Shawn Mendes has been seen breaking up boxes outside his multimillion-dollar home in Beverly Hills.

Mendes was looking relaxed in a pair of blue jeans as he crushed the cardboard boxes while smiling.

The 26-year-old singer didn’t wear shoes but kept his feet covered with simple black socks.

He was recycling up a storm and looked very pleased as he busied himself with the eco-friendly task.

The photos of him doing a mundane act have been a hit with the internet. In fact, one fan claimed they were proof he was “the sexiest man alive”.

“Shawn Mendes the man that you are,” one praised.

“Beautiful!” someone else complimented.

“Damn! He is hot,” one fan remarked.

Mendes has been famous since he was a teenager and is also well-known for his on-and-off relationship with fellow pop singer Camila Cabello.

He has also had massive career success with hits like Stitches, and I Know What You Did Last Summer and will release his fifth studio album in November.

The singer recently opened up about his sexuality and said it was still something he was “figuring out” in his twenties.

The 26-year-old was mid-show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado when he got vulnerable.

“I was really young when I started. I was 15-years-old,” he said.

“The truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of 15-year-old things and discover parts of myself that you do at 15.”

Mendes than explained that “people have been talking about” his sexuality since he was a teenager.

“I think it’s kind of silly, because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it’s so hard to just put into boxes,” he said.

“It always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me. Something that I was figuring out in myself, something that I had yet to discover and still have yet to discover it.”

Mendes said he wanted to speak freely about it because he wants to feel “closer” to everyone and his truth.

“The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone. And I don’t really know sometimes and I know other times,” he said.

He added that not being sure was “scary” because we live in a society that has “a lot” to say about it.
