Lewis Capaldi woud like the comparisons between himself and women in their 60s to stop
(Picture: PA Archive)Lewis Capaldi began the New Year by venting his frustrations at being compared to Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle.
The 26-year-old didn’t look best pleased in a video shared on Tik Tok on Sunday as a fan informed him that their dad had mistaken the singer for 61-year-old Boyle.
Capaldi gave a weary a sigh in the short clip posted, as the fan’s message to him read: ‘Lewis, my dad saw you on TV and thought you were Susan Boyle.’
The singer captioned in response: “I dreamed a dream that ppl stopped telling me I looked like women in their 60s”, as his track Pointless was heard playing in the background of the humorous video.
This isn’t the first time Capaldi has been compared to women years older than him.
Last year, the singer was mistaken for former Prime Minister Liz Truss who, at 47, is 20 years his senior.
Before that, fans had posted side-by-side photos of Capaldi next to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel in comparison.
The Forget Me singer tweeted in reaction: “Why do I look like so many female politicians?”
Over the summer, Capaldi revealed that he had been diagnosed with Tourette’s and went into further detail about his decision to discuss his condition on Instagram before Christmas.
Capaldi said that as he noticed his twitching symptoms progress further on stage, he felt that sharing his diagnosis made him feel “better” about it.
He wrote: “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve got Tourette’s. Don’t worry about it’, and then it became this thing. If something’s going on with me, I’ll share it with the room. [It] makes me feel better to share.
Capaldi continued: “The movements are more exaggerated now. So, I do my neck cracks a lot; I, kind of, lift my left shoulder up, my face moves a bit and I do these deep breaths.
“I can see…micro versions of them in interviews that I’ve done in the past. I think I’ve always done this stuff.
Lewis described his Tourette’s diagnosis as “a shock but it was also like, ‘Oh, that explains so much of my life.’”
