Mendes recently appeared on the ‘Man Enough’ podcast, and
was asked by co-host Justin Baldoni about his greatest strength, weakness, and
his biggest fear. He decided to talk about what scares him the most, sharing
that he had a recent argument with his girlfriend, Camila Cabello, and realized
he is really terrified of being evil, saying “I don’t want to be bad.”
Later, Mendes went on to discuss how things went down,
adding that maybe there’s “a little bit of darkness inside” of him, but “letting
that darkness kind of be present is a horrible feeling.”
Mendes described that he initially had raised his
voice at his girlfriend, and Camila said, “I don’t like it when you raise your
voice. Why did you raise your voice?”
Eventually Mendes got so defensive and said, “I wasn’t
raising my voice at you!” but he noticed that he had raised his voice, “and
then I felt her shrink and I felt me grow and I was like, ‘Oh god, this is the
worst.’”
Camila later comforted him and were able to talk about
their fight 20 minutes later, as Shawn said to Camila “God, that was a whole
thing and I’m really sorry.”
Shawn also made a suggestion that it is easy to get carried
away with our emotions, explaining that “you think you’re being vulnerable and
saying the right thing, but you’re really just defending yourself.”
