The canadian musician has traveled to his natal country, Canada, and has posted some videos playing in the snow with some of his friends.
Shawn Mendes returned after his holidays in Costa Rica, where he has been surfing and enjoying the sun, the sea and the beach. He has posted some photos on his social media like Instagram or X (Mostly known as Twitter).
According to the report from the Directorate of Immigration, Shawn Mendes arrived in Costa Rica on the 29th December and left on Tuesday, January 2, after 3 days enjoying the beauties of the country. He traveled there to spend the New Year’s night on the Latin-American country, and also took the time to do a photoshoot with Heiner Castillo.
Last Monday, January 7, he published some videos where we can see him without shirt and shoes, only dressed in some large underwear running through the snow. In another video, he plays with some plastic sled and sliding through the snow.
On the post he also published a picture playing the guitar next to a chimney and another one of his friends who, in contrast with him, are perfectly equipped for a snow evening. We can see them wearing snow glasses, gloves and some skis.
On the caption of the post, Shawn joked and wrote “you can take the boy outta Canada”. With this he means that even if you take him out of his country, he will always be Canadian and keep that on his heart forever. “You can take the boy outta Canada, but can take Canada outta boy”.
One shocking thing is that even with the cold snow all around his body, the singer feels comfortable, and his only reaction is to say “oh, it’s cold”. That has caused some comments between the fans on the social media that have admired his capacity to control the low temperatures.
This might look quite crazy, but the truth is that the contrast with cold temperatures is a new trend in the world of sports and health. Mostly on the social platform TikTok you can see some people having “ice baths” each morning. According to the GQ magazine, you have to get yourself into water and ice for maximum 20 minutes.
The benefits for this practice are to help reduce muscle pain and inflammation or activates the central nervous system. This is used mostly to recover from sports routines, lessons and apparently helps with the health system and the mental health.
Shawn Mendes has not published any new album since “Wonder” on 2019. That means that he has not published an official project in almost 5 years. But, if we look at his social network he has been working without a stop, and maybe this year is the big comeback for him.
Although he has not published under his name on his YouTube channel he participated on Jacob Collier’s “Witness me” alongside with Stormzy. Also, he published a song last June 9 called “WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DYING FOR?”. On the post he wrote: “Started writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate Newyork & finished it only a few hours ago…felt so important to me to share with you guys in real time”
By the moment we’ll have to conform with his videos having fun in the snow and hope he’s releasing new music soon.
