Interview
with Westlife
|
Kian: Next question
- do you think my mullet was a bad look?
Bryan: Your mullet? Ha ha!
Nicky: Yes, you know we do.
Mark: I think it was a good look.
Shane: No, it wasn't.
Nicky: Kian, you looked like you were 75 and you were from Finland.
Kian: I'm only talking to Mark now, the rest of you can shut up!
Bryan: Mark's the only one who liked it, but then again he's only
just had laser surgery on his eyes. He couldn't see properly before
then.
Shane: You'll probably win worst hair cut at the Poll Winners' Party
this year.
Kian: I won't!
Shane: But who can compete with the mullet?
Kian: Well I thought it was cool. Next! Have I ever worn bad trousers
like Ronan? (Not that I'm having a dig at his dress sense - SH made
me say it, Ronan)
Nicky: Not that I can remember.
Shane: That's because it's you that wears the dodgy trousers. Nicky's
never worn a straight pair of trousers in his life. He wears the
maddest trousers in the band.
Nicky: Come on! None of them have been disgracefully bad.
Bryan: The yellow patchwork ones - now they were disgracefully bad.
You looked like a giant banana! Yellow patchwork? Please!
Kian: Ok, lads, pay attention! I hear some of you think I'm tight
with money. Is that true?
Nicky: Yeah, you're a scrooge - it's the way you are.
Kian: I'm just sensible.
Nicky: You booked economy flights for your parents when they came to
see you.
Kian: That was one time and it was for an hour - long journey.
Nicky: And he wonders why we rib him.
Bryan: He puts the 'con' in 'economy'.
Kian: Which celebrities have we hated?
Mark: You can't decide you hate somebody after meeting them once.
Shane: But Victoria Beckham is a bit of a dootz.
Kian: 'Dootz' means an idiot, right?
Bryan: Oh no, don't start that again. All pop stars are lovely. Don't
you know, you have to be lovely to be a pop star?
Shane: She's not a dootz, I take that back, but she walked past us
the other day and she was a bit funny.
Nicky: Hang on, members of this band slagged her off in the papers so
she has a right to be funny with us.
Shane: Well I'm slagging her off again. She just walked right past...
Kian: OK, who's the most confident?
Shane: On stage I'd say it was me. Off stage, Nicky.
Bryan: No, I'm the most confident on stage.
Nicky: We're all just brilliant.
Kian: Who's the funniest then?
Shane: In my eyes, it's Nicky or Mark.
Bryan: Nicky's 'Somebody lost a tenner' story is so funny.
Kian: Tell us it then...
Shane: We were in Indonesia and there was a field full of people
bending down, picking up corn or whatever they pick up. We drove past
and somebody said "What's going on there?" And Nicky
goes, "Somebody's lost a tenner!" It was just the funniest moment.
We
all cracked up. I'd say that was the funniest Westlife moment ever.
Kian: What's been the best party you've been to lately and have you
got any good gossip?
Shane: Our album launch was good. We stayed up really late drinking.
We had all our family and friends there so it was a nice evening.
Nicky: Our manager Louis Walsh's 65 birthday party was good. What
gossip do we know from that?
Bryan: Ooh, the Gabriella Richards gossip! (Channel 5 presenter and
Lee Steps' alleged new girlfriend). She fell into the pond at the
party. It was so funny. And she fell right on top of Elton John,
honestly.
Shane: The Elton part is a bit much, don't you think Bryan?
Kian: There's a serious on lads. Has the September 11th terrorist
attack had an impact on the situation in Ireland?
Bryan: I think it improved the situation.
Nicky: No, you don't know that Bryan. We're a non-political band and
we don't know enough about things like this to talk about them.
Kian: OK, well how has it affected our lives and what we do?
Shane: It's terrible. It's made us all very sad and it made us
nervous about flying.
Nicky: Obviously we're very sad about what happened, it was an awful
tragedy. We're all nervous about flying and also at the prospect of a
world war. We'd rather it all stopped.
Mark: Lets just hope things get sorted out soon, eh?
Kian: Finally, with new bands like Blue and So Soled getting to No 1,
do you think there's still a place for our ballads?
Mark: There's always a place for everyone.
Shane: Exactly. Best of luck to them. We don't see Blue as rivals or
anything. Best of luck to all the new bands.
Nicky: It's a great world. Peace be with you all!
FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WESTLIFE
Kian gets his own back and dishes the dirt...
1. I know you all think Shane is the serious member of the group, but
in fact that's me. Shane is a complete messer. He's always joining in
with the fighting and the silliness. The good thing about him is that
he knows when to stop - then he helps me sort the rest of them out.
2. Bryan is such a good dad. He's matured so much since Molly was
born. He was sitting there with her in front of the TV and she was
crying. One of our videos came on the TV and she stopped, which was
quite cool.
3. Our manager has started comparing Nicky to Justin from 'N Sync
since he's got his head shaved. I don't think he likes that much!
4. Shane is in the process of selling his car. He's got a BMW at the
moment, but he wants to sell that and get a Porsche.
5. I'm looking for an apartment in London. I want to have a permanent
base, somewhere I can cook my own meals and stuff like that. At the
moment we are living in hotels. I'm not sure where yet. I don't know
London that well so I'm looking around.
