Boy George thinks society has become "boring".
The 57-year-old singer was recently turned away from a nightclub because he was wearing a disguise, and the ‘Karma Chameleon’ hitmaker thinks the incident proves that the world has become a tedious place.
He told the BBC: "I went out to a club last year in complete disguise. My friend painted a mask and put these big, mad, surgically-enhanced lips on it. But the security were like, ‘You have to take off your mask’. I said [putting on an Italian diva accent], ‘No dahlink, you crazy! I don’t take off!’
"So I had to go home in a cab … and the cab driver’s face! He was saying, ‘Are you a bloke or a woman?’ and I said, ‘Everything dahlink!’
"It was a fun night – well, the journey there and back was fun. Not getting into the club was … whatever. You wouldn’t have had that in the 70s and the 80s. We’re so much more boring now. But I’m not!"
In 2018, the pop star – whose real name is George O’Dowd – urged society to stop simplifying gay culture.
The Culture Club frontman – who is openly gay – told BANG Showbiz: "I think we live in this strange time in history where everyone thinks they understand everyone – they understand the gays, they understand everyone.
"They wanna put us all in a little box and the problem with it, though – and I’ve been saying this since the beginning of my career – there’s no one type of gay person; they’re multi-faceted, complicated.
"Just because you wear make-up and dress up it doesn’t mean you have anything in common with other people who do it. What tends to happen these days people try to simplify things and I just wanna live in a world when none of this stuff matters."
