Rome Flynn is popular for his role in How to Get Away with Murder, which is currently streaming on Netflix. Besides being an actor, Flynn is also known for creating music. Recently, the multi-talented artist spoke about Rihanna's DM that made an impact on his life.

The 28-year-old actor garnered fame from television drama, The Bold and the Beautiful that aired on CBS. Flynn played Zende Forrester Dominguez's adult version while Daniel Smith played the younger version of Dominquez.

Flynn decided to leave the show in 2017 and went on with a new project, How to Get Away with Murder in which he portrayed Gabriel Maddox. The character was an essential part of the drama. After the show ran successfully for two seasons, Flynn told that the show will be seen as a "classic" crime drama.

However, the actor disclosed that he was concerned Save How To Get Away With Murder hashtag shouldn't trend. He admitted that it is best to share a story in a full circle. “All good things come to an end and I want the body of work to stand on its own. Instead of maybe getting canceled or getting finished by having the ending that people wanted,” he said.

Flynn told HollywoodLife, he received Rihanna's message on social media which had a great impact on his career. He agreed that it was a "random" message because the actor had never crossed paths with Rihanna.

Flynn said that he was in a confused stage in his career and wondered how to maintain both, acting and music career. While Flynn was trying to figure out his career choices, he received a message from Rihanna. The actor was amazed by the perfect timing of receiving the message that included a video.

The video Rihanna sent to Flynn was his own clip, which he posted on Instagram. The actor revealed that the 32-year-old singer complimented him for having a "great voice." Flynn didn't miss the chance to ask for collaboration and addressed Rihanna as a Queen in the text. She asked Flynn's EP before moving forward.

No wonder a text from an iconic singer can make any potential singer change their career path. As a result, Flynn is encouraged to pursue music and recently released Keep Me In Mind. The actor has been vocal about his love for music and it seems he has been utilizing his time during the pandemic.
