Harry Styles sent fans wild as he took part in "one of the most disgusting traditions ever" while on stage in Perth.
The former One Direction man joked how he will be discussing the moment with his therapist "at length" as he said he "felt like a new person".
Harry, 29, stunned onlookers Down Under when he agreed to do a "shoey" and drink from his own shoe.
As fans recorded the surprising occasion, Harry was pressured into taking part in the Aussie "tradition" after one of his entourage had previously done so.
Bowing to the chants, he removes his trainer to the delight of the audience. He then takes his Adidas footwear to the side to fill it up before returning front and centre to down the drink as the crowd screams.
