Shawn Mendes on fame: 'I can still do regular person things!'

'Stitches' heartthrob Shawn Mendes has revealed that he still manages to do everyday things without too much interruption, and doesn't mind when people come up to him and ask for autographs or photos as it's flattering to know that they think he has a real talent. 

During a new interview with B96 Chicago, the sensation admitted that he doesn't have bodyguards trailing him everywhere he goes and understands that being approached in public by fans is just part of the path he has chosen. 

"Totally, I think that I'm a firm believer in... as long as, like, you don't put yourself... I can go anywhere I want and if people want to take pictures or say hi - they can. We're all humans - it doesn't matter what type of career you have. It doesn't stop me from doing regular person things, it's just a little different!"

Mendes, meanwhile, recently spoke about staying grounded and credited his family and friends with helping him to keep his feet firmly on the ground: "A lot of it comes down to my family and people I hang out with, my friends not acting any different when I come home, my parents being really awesome."
