"Who's my Role Model? Well, it changes on a whim, but at the moment it's Alma from Phantom Threadwhen she snatches some agency in her relationship with Reynolds and delivers the most romantically relatable line in cinema history: "I want you flat on your back, helpless, tender, open, with only me to help." She's so real ... Wait, sorry, the question was "Who is Role Model?""
"Role Model's real name is something that conjures a walking Lacoste ad to the mind, through no fault of his own, of course. Tucker Pillsbury. Middle name Harrison. NBC writes that he embraces both real and professional names. But why did he pick Role Model? "That's a good question," he told the Today show on August 29. "You know what, I thought it was funny at the time that I chose it,"
Tucker Pillsbury, known professionally as Role Model, is a singer-songwriter who achieved viral recognition earlier this year with the twangy track "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" from the deluxe edition of Kansas Anymore: The Longest Goodbye. The 2024 LP marks a stylistic shift toward country after his debut Rx leaned more toward melodic pop. He embraces both his given name and stage name. He explained that choosing Role Model was originally humorous and unexpectedly permanent. He has spent the past year touring, headlining and supporting tours, including dates with Gracie Abrams on her Secret of Us Deluxe Tour.
