Who doesn't love pizza? Everybody loves pizza! Maybe even Ringo Starr. However, the legendary Beatles drummer has shocked the world by admitting to never having tried 'za.
Despite starring in a 1995 commercial for Pizza Hut promoting their new cheesy crust, along with members of the Monkees, Starr is a pizza virgin. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night (January 29), he confirmed a long-standing rumour that his lips have never touched a cheesy, pizza pie.
“I’ve never had a pizza,” Starr said. “Never had a pizza. Hear all of those people in the back go, 'What?' Or a curry. Well, I’m allergic to several items, and with pizza, you don’t know what you’re putting in it half the time. Or the curry. So I’m pretty strict with myself because it makes me ill immediately.”
So, dietary concerns! That makes sense then.
Also in the interview, Starr revealed that unlike pizza he has tried marijuana, and the first time was actually with Bob Dylan!
"He didn’t personally hand it to me, he had a friend of his in the room who actually handed it to me,” Starr admitted.
“After we'd sat around in that room smoking dope, I came out of that room into the living room of the hotel and we'd forgotten we ordered room service,” he added. “So this guy came wheeling in a couple of trolleys for the four of us... [it] makes you a little hungry.”
But not for pizza. Got it.
