After “Angry”, it is the second HACKNEY DIAMONDS song to get a video clip.
Two months after the release of their 24th record HACKNEY DIAMONDS, The Rolling Stones have released a music video for their song “Mess It Up”. The clip was released on December 19th and is particularly notable for the participation of actor Nicholas Hoult, who played the leading role in the video.
Relationship drama
Relationship dispute really got out of hand: In the clip you can see a man running away after an argument with a woman (probably his girlfriend). He runs more and more into the distance, past different places. He meets a child and runs through various scenarios until he arrives at a deserted sandy beach. He stands there, now a bit shabby with a long beard, and realizes that he has to go back. Back at the house of the woman who had just been left behind, she now has children. As well as another man who now seems to live there and who is not too enthusiastic about the sudden appearance of the other man (i.e. Nicholas Hoult). As the song title suggests, our protagonist has pretty much messed up.
Music video for “Mess It Up” with Nicholas Hoult:
“Mess It Up” is the second HACKNEY DIAMONDS track to receive a music video. “Angry” started with Sydney Sweeney as prominent support. However, this did not only receive praise, Damon Albarn criticized the band for the portrayal of the actress in the recording, saying that she had been made into an object.

It remains to be seen what the reaction to the video with Nicholas Hoult will be. Nicholas Hoult, known for his role in the UK series Skins, also recently starred in the vampire comedy Renfield. There are also rumors that he will take on the role of Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.
