Shawn also chatted about another heartwarming moment that occurred in Pickering when picking up his sister from her boyfriend's house.

"I was like, guys let's just take it easy. She just finished school like there's a lot of equipment here, I don't want to overwhelm her."

"She just walked in, and she goes, 'sup?' and then keeps talking," he laughed.

"I felt like she handled the camera better than I have and I do it for a living."

Shawn Mendes further gushes about his hometown in his documentary, which is available on Netflix.
