The Weeknd joined the long list of musicians to have voiced a character on The Simpsons on Sunday when he was included in the cast for new episode entitled "Bart The Cool Kid." Abel Tesfaye played Orion Hughes, a child influencer and skateboarder who owns a fashion brand named "Slipreme" and once wrote a book of critically-maligned poetry.
Hughes becomes friends with Bart while Homer becomes a middle-aged hypebeast. Tweeting about his appearance on the show, Tesfaye described it as a "dream come true." Keep it real, little groms.
