The Weeknd covers GQ magazine’s February 2017 issue alongside, Chance The Rapper.
The singer has been in the tabloids a lot since his breakup with supermodel Bella Hadid and his most recent hookup with songstress Selena Gomez who is or shall I say was friends with Bella. So messy! Well, at least we know for now it’s just dating because The Weeknd has made it very clear that marriage isn’t happening anytime soon for him.
In the newest issue, The Weeknd opens up about his sex appeal, marriage, kids and more!
On why he chopped off his signature hair: “I couldn’t walk around without seeing the fuckin’ Weeknd hair. That’s what I called it. New artists, artists that have been around forever––I’m not going to say any names––but they were fuckin’ growing their hair. I worked really hard on this album. And I felt like I need to relieve a lot of stress. [Cutting off my hair] feels good, ‘cause I get to blend in. If I want to go to a club, I can just go and I’m not there. I can go to a restaurant and I’m not there. I look like everybody else, which is boring, but maybe I just want to look like everybody else for a bit.”
On his sexual appeal: “I don’t think that’s real. Listen, I’m not walkin’ around like f*ckin’ Idris Elba, know what I mean? …I’m not gonna walk into the club and be like, ‘Oh sh*t I’m the sexiest guy in here.’ The reason why they want to f*ck with me is because of what I do [in the studio]. So I’d rather just focus on doing that.”
On the possibility of marriage and kids: “I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids. Marriage is scary to me, man.”
