Cody Simpson holds lonely crowd book at lunch in Hollywood

 He’s never been content with being just another face in the crowd.

And Cody Simpson was feeling extra philosophical while out for lunch in West Hollywood on Monday, spotted holding 1950 sociology book The Lonely Crowd.

The 20-year-old appeared in deep thought and slightly distracted on a stroll after meeting friends for lunch at State Social House.

He’s no sheep! Cody Simpson was feeling extra philosophical while out for lunch in West Hollywood on Monday, spotted holding 1950 sociology book The Lonely Crowd

He clutched the book, featuring a flock of crammed sheep on the cover, keeping his head down as he walked.

The surf rock musician went with his familiar T-shirt and jeans look, adding a pair of aviator sunglasses and a bead necklace.

Cody’s biceps and black-and-white arm tattoos were exposed in his white, short-sleeve shirt.

Despite Los Angeles’ impending winter, he maintained his beachy look, complete with his shaggy blonde locks.

Alongside a group of mates, the Australian musician quickly made way to his nearby transport.

Cody’s love for literature is well-documented, with fans even creating an Instagram account called ‘Cody’s Book Club,’ to document his favourites.

He’s been enjoying single life lately, recently speaking to Today about his new band Cody And The Tide, insisting he’s ‘ready to mingle’.

When asked if he had ‘a girl at the moment’, the star took a few uncomfortable seconds to think before answering, ‘no, no’.

‘Single ready to mingle, baby,’ he continued more confidently.

The news comes after Cody was spotted last month spending time with his model ex-girlfriend Sierra Swartz in West Hollywood.
