      Yeah, his voice and his body always don’t seem to match. It was even more striking when he was younger imo

      And honestly, it might have been shot on a phone. Some of the shots are styled like he is holding a phone and filming on it. Plus, he seems to just take things pretty easy ever since he came back in ~2018. A low budget video shot on a cell phone seems very on point for his current image.

        You are correct about it being shot on a cell phone – at present the top comment on the video is from @RickAstleyYT and says:

        My wife Lene and I shot this video on a phone in Denmark, in a forest beside a beautiful beach. The song in essence is about how there is so much technology out there pulling and pushing us in our daily lives, that we need to remain human in this fast moving world. The idea of making a video simply, somewhere beautiful and real like this resonates with me, and I hope it does with you too! Rick x

          Hahaha, that is what I get for not checking the comments. Thank you for pointing that out!

      The iPhone thing is probably true when you read the pinned comment from Rick himself below the video:
