The “EAT THE NACHO!” moment - McFly: All About Us [x]
Harry: We were on tour with McBusted in Europe and I managed to arrange a dinner for the four of us because we needed the McFly chat
Tom: And this is the defining moment that I feel, like, in the stuff that followed, that kind of unraveling about friendships
Harry: We started talking about McFly, how we’re gonna approach the writing, where should we record… and me and Danny and Tom were getting really excited
Tom: But Dougie just stayed quiet through the whole thing
Harry: I was just feeling like.. oh my god, this is horrible. We’re losing him and there’s nothing I can do
Tom: It’s a Mexican restaurant and we ordered this nachos to share. I feel like it’s the most symbolic thing. We got to the point there was 4 nachos left in the middle of the table. Harry picked one and ate it.
Harry: Then Tom took his one and Danny had his.
Tom: And there’s one nacho left. Dougie didn’t eat the nacho. I remember sitting there and in my head goes, “Eat the nacho!”
Harry: ‘Doug, please, just eat the nacho. Just.. (whispers) just eat the nacho.’
Tom: The band is the nachos! And if he doesn’t eat that nacho, he doesn’t want to be in the band anymore
Harry: I finally broke I just, “Doug.. do you wanna.. nacho?” He was like, “Nah, man, I’m fine.” …. He’s gone!
(I’m sorry this is such a long ass post. I just had to show this iconic moment in full! It took me hours to finish this lol)
