Hudson Williams gets slapped with a fish in Laufey’s ‘Madwoman’ music video

Fresh from her Sunday night Coachella performance, Icelandic singer Laufey dropped a star-studded music video on Monday that shows her slapping Heated Rivalry heartthrob Hudson Williams with a fish.

The Warren Fu–directed video for Laufey’s newly released song, “Madwoman,” sees the singer hosting a house party with some special guests: Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu, The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung, and Katseye’s Megan Skiendiel all arrive at her door.

The group moves to the backyard for some poolside drinks as Laufey fights with Williams’ character over his exes (Bottoms‘ Havana Rose Liu is shown on a magazine cover.) And that’s when the fish-slap moment happens.

Naturally, Williams falls into the pool and uses the opportunity to take off his wet shirt, causing all the women, as well as the waitstaff, to helplessly stare at him.

“Madwoman,” which was released on April 10 with the deluxe version of Laufey’s 2025 Emmy-winning album A Matter of Time, is about wanting someone even if they’re bad for you. “Purely mythological, with the ugliest soul. You would think that he is holding me for ransom,” she sings.

Williams plays the part of the man who has Laufey spellbound, which is fitting considering the actor’s popularity since the November release of the Crave ice-hockey romance.

Laufey teased the video’s guest stars over the last week, revealing Williams’ role on Thursday and leading the internet to dub the music video’s cast the “Wasian Avengers” (Laufey and all the guest stars in the video are half-Asian, including The Studio star Chase Sui Wonders, who also appears on a magazine cover in one scene.)
