Everything You Wanted to Know About Singer-Songwriter and Shazam! Actor Asher Angel
Asher Angel truly is the definition of a multi-hyphenate as an actor and singer-songwriter, but while he may be best known for starring in films such as Shazam!, we think 2024 is going to be a big year for him musically.
Last month, the 21-year-old star released his newest single, "Flip the Switch," showing off a new side of his musicality with a smooth and confident pop-R&B sound. He teased even more music to come, and we also have his upcoming films Lazareth and 99 Days, costarring Mckenna Grace, to look forward to. We can't wait for everything to come—and here's everything Asher shared with us about himself as our latest Man Crush Monday.
