Revealing more details about the process, Dumdaw also noted in the caption that they did not audition for the role as the director reached out directly. "Fun fact, I didn't even audition for this. the directors had been keeping an eye on me & reached out directly you never know who’s watching— dream big, work hard, & put yourself out there," they wrote. @grumdaw fun fact, i didnt even audition for this. the directors had been keeping an eye on me & reached out directly ? you never know who’s watching— dream big, work hard, & put yourself out there ? #zaynmalik #lovelikethis #zayn #zsquad #actor Since sharing this video Grumdaw has received 4.9m views, 631,000 likes and thousands of comments from people who wanted to know more.
