Yungblud Unleashes Rock Star Energy with Mom's Support at Premiere!

Yungblud, 28, was every inch the rock and roll icon at his film premiere, YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? in Leicester Square, London on Tuesday

YUNGBLUD UNLEASHES HIS ROCKSTAR SIDE AT FILM PREMIERE IN LONDON!

The streets of Leicester Square, London, were abuzz with excitement on Tuesday as Yungblud made a sultry appearance at the premiere of his new documentary film, YUNGBLUD. The 28-year-old rockstar, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, was every inch the edgy icon as he posed for photos with fans and showcased his eclectic style.

Baring his chest in a black leather-look ensemble that left little to the imagination, Yungblud accessorized with layered gold chains, oversized black sunglasses, and a cross necklace gifted to him by the late Ozzy Osbourne. The singer's bold fashion choices were nothing short of dramatic, but it was clear he felt like a million bucks as he arrived at the premiere ahead of its August 20 release.

But even rockstars need support from their loved ones, and Yungblud had his mother Samantha by his side on the red carpet. We can only imagine how proud she must be of her son's accomplishments! The new feature-length documentary follows Yungblud as he navigates a pivotal moment in his career, just before releasing his most personal album to date.

The Journey Begins

Ahead of the film's release, Yungblud and his touring family traveled to Berlin, where they would perform and record brand-new songs live for the very first time. No audience, no artifice – just raw, real, and unbridled rock-and-roll chaos. Cameras rolled constantly in the name of truth and trust as Yungblud pushed himself to new heights.

"It was exactly where I needed to be," he said in an interview with The Scholarly Note (TSN). "I understood that things would never be the same again." Shot entirely on location, the documentary features 12 brand-new performances from his latest album, Idols, and offers a glimpse into Yungblud's unapologetic and uncompromising artistry.

A Personal Journey of Change and Chaos

The film is a deeply personal journey that showcases Yungblud's growth, confidence, and creative evolution. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Berlin, a city that celebrates counterculture and creativity, YUNGBLUD offers an intimate look at a generational artist finding his own voice.

But what makes this story even more compelling is the personal drama that unfolded behind the scenes. Just weeks before the premiere, Yungblud packed on the PDA with his girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark in Italy's Amalfi Coast. The singer celebrated his 28th birthday with a romantic getaway to one of the world's most beautiful destinations.

Love and Heartbreak

Yungblud and Jesse have been through their fair share of ups and downs, including a temporary separation earlier this year. However, in an interview with Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Yungblud revealed that he had taken space from the love of his life due to personal insecurities stemming from living in the spotlight.

Yungblud was proudly supported by his parents Justin and Samantha Harrison at the premiere

"I was really having problems with myself," he confessed. "It was all a me problem." But despite their temporary split, Jesse remained by his side, and Yungblud has been singing her praises ever since.

"Her name's Jesse Stark, and she's probably the most incredible person I've ever met," he gushed. "She's my best friend, and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit." The singer admitted that they maintained regular contact during their separation and have now reunited stronger than ever.

"I love her as everything," Yungblud declared. "And I think at this moment in time, I needed to build up a fundamental basis of a personality. I was a shell, so I didn't know what I could love." With his newfound confidence, Yungblud is ready to take on the world with Jesse by his side.

As for their future plans, Yungblud has hinted at starting a family with Jesse once he's worked through his emotional issues. "I think if that doesn't happen, that doesn't happen," he shrugged, but it's clear that this rockstar is smitten and ready to take on whatever life throws his way.

TSN Exclusive Interview

In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, Yungblud opened up about the making of YUNGBLUD and his creative process. "I wanted to make a film that was raw, real, and honest," he said. "I didn't want any artifice or pretension – just pure rock-and-roll chaos."

Shot entirely on location and featuring 12 brand new performances from ‘Idols’, his 4th album, this is Yungblud on film like he’s never been seen before
