Explained: How Stormzy got Jose Mourinho to star in music video – with ex-Chelsea & Man Utd boss looking like ‘one of the boys’

Back in September 2022, the football world was stunned to discover that charismatic Portuguese coach Mourinho had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/watch-mourinho-stormzy-video-rap-star-man-utd-chelsea/blt9a53757db5b0f26b" target="_blank">landed a cameo role in the production pieced together by Stormzy for his track ‘Mel Made Me Do It’</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mourinho has never been afraid to take on a challenge by stepping out of his comfort zone and jumped at the chance to figure in a video that makes reference to him in the lyrics: “I prefer not to speak like I’m Jose.” When that line is dropped, he can be seen holding a finger to his lips.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">😅 Nooooo way. Big Jose Mourinho in the cut! 🎙 Stormzy is back in full effect after a long hiatus in "Mel Made Me Do It" video ➡️ <a href="https://t.co/WbWn4FPmD0">https://t.co/WbWn4FPmD0</a> <a href="https://t.co/V6y61M0jts">pic.twitter.com/V6y61M0jts</a>— GRM Daily (@GRMDAILY) <a href="https://twitter.com/GRMDAILY/status/1573058915063009280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></blockquote>

THE GOSSIP

Stormzy has told <a href="https://www.itv.com/ " target="_blank">The Jonathan Ross Show</a> how his shock collaboration with Mourinho came about and how Roma’s triumph in the 2022 Europa Conference League final made the Portuguese’s guest appearance possible: “He blends in quite well, he looks like one of the boys! He had a great season last season, he took Roma to the finals and won it. I remember while he was on the journey, when he got to the semis and the final, I remember thinking ‘please win’. I was thinking if he loses, he probably isn’t going to want to do it. But then they won it. He had agreed to it ages before and when they won it, he had a bit of time off and he came down. He was lovely. He really wanted to get it right as well.”

WHAT STORMZY SAID

Stormzy, as a Manchester United fan, saw Mourinho deliver major silverware during his time in charge at Old Trafford. The 61-year-old is currently without a club after severing ties with Roma, but is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sos-call-jose-mourinho-newcastle-told-why-ex-chelsea-man-utd-boss-perfect-trophy-hunt-revolution-back/bltdb7ba4e1cc2fb148" target="_blank">seeing a return to the Premier League speculated on at Newcastle</a>.
