Following the release of latest album Couples Only, Queen Kwong has shared a cinematic video for the song Sad Man.
With the track itself being an ode to "the fuckboys, the narcissists, the band dudes who think they're all that", Queen Kwong (real name Carré Callaway) explains that the video is inspired by Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant.
"I knew it would take a really special guy to perform in this video, someone who wasn't afraid of really embracing what the song represents," she says of Johnny's role in the clip.
"Even though the Sad Man video couldn't be more different than Jackass, I knew Knoxville was the one for it - he's clearly fearless and has a sense of humour... We danced around, cried and then we went to a church and prayed.
"Knox was so open to trying everything. It was amazing to work with someone who could have easily been a diva but instead gave 100 per cent of himself to the role, learning all the words and embracing the discomfort. His performance was so powerful that when he started crying, I started crying."
