Boy George's 'magic' make-up

10 months ago 25th Jan 07:05

Boy George claims make-up gives him "magic".

The openly gay 'Karma Chameleon' singer feels prettier with a fully made-up face and thinks he has a better chance of attracting other men.

George, 46, said: "I just think I look prettier with make-up on. I've got some magic, I pull when I've got make-up on.

"Why should I not wear make-up? People should have got over it by now. At this stage of the game, it's not about shocking people.

"I'm not going to dismantle myself just to prove I've grown-up."

The former Culture Club singer - whose real name is George O'Dowd - is determined to put his past scandals behind him in a bid to be taken seriously as an artist when he re-launches his music career.

George, who is about to embark on his first UK tour in 10 years, said: "I feel as if I'm starting from scratch. But I don't want to go, 'Hey, George is back!' because I haven't really been anywhere. I'm not trying to have a pop career - I just want a bit of credibility."
