The clip was directed by Drew Pearce, whose previous credits include Iron Man 3 and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and takes its inspiration from an unlikely source.
"This video is partially inspired by the LeBron James quote: 'It is precisely the superficial differences between people who are otherwise alike that inform the hostilities between them,'" Tillman explained in a press release.
That gets interpreted into a meta narrative that sees two Tillmans meeting at a bar before heading home together for a cocaine-fuelled pool party. A synchronized swim routine is followed by the two Tillmans getting rather intimate with each other.
"Special thanks to my body double Tyler who I had to kiss no fewer than two dozen times and whose breath I can still smell in my mind's eye," his statement continued. Watch the Tillmans get to know each other — and themselves, I guess? — in the player below.
