Lily Allen has provided some guidance on the best way to sleep with a celebrity, noting that it's all about being in the right place at the right time.
The English singer, 40, answered reader questions for Interview Magazine's Seek Help column published on Wednesday (Oct. 29). One person wrote in asking advice on "the best way to hook up with a celebrity."
“Well, I’ve only done this a couple of times and it’s been quite meticulously planned, so you have to kind of find yourself in a place where the celebrity thinks that they are discovering you, not the other way around,” Allen offered.
“There was a particular celebrity that I was really after romantically and I looked at his touring schedule and he was going to be in Japan. So I made sure that I was at this festival and that I would be one of the very few English-speaking people at the same festival as him, which I guess made me interesting. Actually, both my celebrity hookups have been in Japan, but different celebrities.”
Allen also answered questions about a green card marriage, running into one's boss at a kink dungeon, and ChatGPT. Her advice was largely straightforward: She told a reader whose boyfriend would only play “Country House” by Blur in the bedroom to "get out of that relationship."
Allen recently released her first album in seven years, West End Girl, on which she sings about heartbreak, cheating, and the devastation of finding a loved one's sex toys from their "double life." The album arrived following her public split from her husband, actor David Harbour.
The former couple met on Raya in 2019 and married the following year; rumors began surfacing this February that they had split. Allen was previously married to Sam Cooper, with whom she shares two daughters.
During her conversation with Interview, the pop star was asked if she would consider her album a “revenge tour.”
“It isn’t. I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now. We all go through breakups and it’s always fucking brutal. But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it,” Allen said.
“That’s what’s fun about this record; it’s viscerally like going through the motions,” she continued. “At the time, I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge.”
