Connor Storrie Reflects on His Viral ‘Like a Prayer’ Dance During Paris Fashion Week
He certainly knows how to command a room, but Connor Storrie remains modest about his rhythm. While attending Paris Fashion Week on January 27, the Heated Rivalry actor addressed the internet’s obsession with his recent tribute to Madonna’s legendary hit, “Like a Prayer.”
During a conversation with Dazed at the Saint Laurent Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 showcase, Storrie was asked to name a hobby he enjoys despite lacking professional skill. After jokingly asserting that he is “not bad at anything,” the actor pivoted, admitting, “Uhm, I don’t know—dancing?”
When the interviewer countered by praising his viral dance moves, Storrie offered a humble explanation: “That was just me living in the moment.”
The actor was spotted in the front row of the Bourse du Commerce, joined by his Heated Rivalry castmates François Arnaud and Robbie G.K. This high-fashion outing follows a successful month for the show’s ensemble; co-star Hudson Williams recently made his runway debut for Dsquared2 in Milan earlier this January.
Storrie became a social media sensation in late December when Interview magazine released a clip of him lip-syncing and dancing with abandon to Madonna’s 1989 classic. The video has since exploded in popularity, garnering more than 9 million views across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
The “Storrie effect” has also translated into a tangible boost for the Queen of Pop. According to Luminate, “Like a Prayer” recorded 1.42 million on-demand streams in the U.S. for the week ending January 22. This represents the song’s strongest streaming performance since June 2025, proving that the anthem—which famously spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989—remains as culturally relevant as ever.
