Mick Jagger is responding to John Mulaney saying he was “not nice” in a previous standup comedy segment he did in his special Kid Gorgeous.
During one segment, John recalled his time working with the Rolling Stones lead singer when he hosted Saturday Night Live in 2012.
According to the comedian, when his friends asked if Jagger was nice, he said, no, “Or maybe he is, for his version of life, ’cause he has a very different life.”
John continued (via Entertainment Weekly), “He’s played to stadiums of 20,000 people cheering for him like he’s a god for 50 years. That must change you as a person. If you do that for 50 years, you’re never again gonna be like, ‘Um, does anyone have a laptop charger I could borrow?’ You know that bulls–t way we all have to talk to get through life?”
In a new interview with The New York Times, Jagger said he hadn’t ever watched the special, but when hearing a summary of John‘s perspective of his fame, the musician responded: “Obviously, it’s not normal. It is not like most people’s lives. It does affect you. You can become disassociated.”
“A lot of people in show business only hang around with people in show business, because they’ve got something in common, they can relate to each other, and you get disassociated from what people might call ‘real life,’” Jagger said.
He acknowledged that he has to make a “conscious effort” not to become too distant from how ordinary people live and does what he can to stop himself from becoming out of touch.
“It’s quite easy, really,” the songwriter revealed. “You go out and walk on the street on your own and do normal things, go and buy The New York Times.”
Jagger also said he’s not that similar to his “stage persona,” and the ability to switch gears “comes with age.”
The legendary music icon is making a surprising return to the big screen soon with a wild new movie role!
