Shawn Mendes has proven that even the rich and famous aren't quite as sophisticated as they might seem on Instagram, posting a hilarious behind-the-scenes video of himself falling down a hill.

The singer made the, erm, slip while trying to pose for a steamy photo on the 'gram (we've all been there, Shawn), and the footage is truly something to behold.

For those concerned, don't worry: he seems fine, guys.

Shawn's post started off in (probably) the sultry fashion intended, with the 23-year-old posing shirtless while out for a hike in front of the Los Angeles skyline.

However, things quickly took an unfortunate turn as the singer shared a video of himself attempting to pose while flexing with his back to the camera - and, errr, it didn't go well.

The clip shows Shawn fully taking a tumble while his friends laugh in the background and, yep, it's pretty hilarious. Still, he clearly saw the funny side, adding the song 'Gravity' by John Mayer over the video. Totally here for Shawn trolling himself, tbh.

The singer poked yet more fun at his own blunder in his Instagram caption, writing, "I guess that’s what I get." Still, anything for a good Insta pic, right, Shawn?
