Olly Alexander:I’d never met a stylist like Nick before.
Hes got a special brain.
We just bonded straight away, didn’t we?

I was like, “Okay, this is going to really work.”
We’ve been working on my character and who is that character?

Royal:A lot of it surprises us as well.
And you heard that and went, “He absolutely cannot be green.”

Royal:Lots of things really come from the hair and makeup team.
Beauty is really importantespecially hair and aspects of it, including pubic hair.
Loads of people have been like, “Did you do that in Photoshop?”
ButShiori[Takahashi, the hairdresser] just got down on her knees and shaved it in.
You were only brunette for an hour of me knowing you.
Do I have to dye it again?
It’s fun to wear different characters.
Off-duty Olly wears the same stuff that I’ve had for years.
Recently, I’ve been having my nails painted.
Then there was stuff I just never even thought about, like taking care of my eyebrows.
Royal:I love your brows.
I love any time we bleach your brows.
Alexander:The first time I had it done, it was quite insane.
They had to be bleached eight times for it to go white enough.
It was quite traumatizing.
Well, most people dress boring, I hate to say it.
That’s just fun.
I’m allowed to be who I want to be.
