“We obviously didn’t say, ‘We want to have one specific type of person in the video.’ We’ve just shot the video and not much thought has gone into it.’
Troye said he was upset when he read the barrage of hurtful comments on the clip.
“There was this article yesterday and they were talking about [the lack of body diversity]and in the same sentence this person said ‘Eat something, you stupid twinks.’

On Tuesday, Troye (center) responded to backlash surrounding the music video for his new song Rush, after being criticized for not including bigger bodies (Pictured is a scene from the clip)
“That really bothered me to read that because I’ve had my own insecurities with my body image. I think everyone’s body is just as beautiful as it is, including mine, and it just sucks to see people talking about other people’s bodies.”
The movie clip, directed by Gordon von Steiner, opens with a man slapping his own brutal derrière, before Troye parties with shirtless male dancers at a pool party.
While the video was praised for the choreography and references for LGBTQ+ culture, many viewers were dissatisfied with the lack of bigger bodies.
