It\u2019s the tone of his voice, soft but strong, and the way he locks into harmonies like he\u2019s been doing it forever. Even Simon seems drawn to that calm, reliable energy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2018\" data-end=\"2369\">There\u2019s also a very real confidence arc. Josh told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/articles\/simon-cowell-the-next-act-cast-instagrams\">Tudum<\/a> that when he first got to Miami, he struggled with confidence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2018\" data-end=\"2369\">A fresh buzz cut weirdly helped him feel more like himself, apparently. It\u2019s such a small detail, but it\u2019s also so relatable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2745\">Musically, his references are exactly what you\u2019d expect from a modern boyband kid in the best way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2745\">Josh says his favourite boy band is One Direction, and he\u2019s been listening to Justin Bieber\u2019s Confident on repeat. That\u00a0honestly tracks, because his vibe sits right between classic UK boyband warmth and that sleek, pop-R&amp;B-ish softness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2800\" data-end=\"3152\">A lot of December 10 was formed by chemistry tests and Simon\u2019s instinct, but <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/2025\/12\/22\/a-look-at-december-10-members-danny-and-joshs-cute-real-life-friendship-beyond-the-next-act\">Josh and his friend, Danny<\/a>, came with real-life history baked in. They\u2019re close friends from Chorley and auditioned together, which makes their bond feel less &#8220;Netflix edit&#8221; and more &#8220;genuinely inseparable besties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3154\" data-end=\"3441\">In group settings, you can see Josh relax more when Danny\u2019s nearby, and it\u2019s part of what makes him feel like the grounded heart of the band, even when everything around them is very hectic!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Reality Shrine<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realityshrineofficial?rdid=TzQu2kEd2cUqU4rD&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F14zX5cKubf%2F#\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon dubbed him &#8216;quiet&#8217;
