TW Interview with US Vevo!

From L to R: Jay, Tom, Max, Siva, Nathan

Max, Jay, Siva, Nathan and Tom sat down with us to vevo about hot ladies, lizard poo and beloved breakfast foods. Between a lot of palling around, goofing off and hamming it up, here’s what the guys had to say about all sorts of silly things.

The grossest thing that happened when they lived together in a flat:

Max: Jay’s got a lizard, and I came in a bit drunk one night from a night out—

Jay: She’s normally very, very house tamed, so she knows where to poo—

Max: Very much. He’s three and a half feet long, so anything that’s three and a half foot long’s gonna have a big ol’ dump of some proportion. And I came in, stumbled through the door, and she’s obviously laid a shit right behind the door, and as I open it, it just swipes it across the floor in like, a perfect quarter pie.

Siva: A poo rainbow!

Max: Oh god, it stunk!

The one thing that reminds them of home while traveling:

Siva: Irish pubs

.Max: Mine would be my boxers, since I think I’ve had them on since I left. [laughs] These were bright white, but now they’re sort of chewing gum grey! They smell alright…I had them on backwards for the first four days, inside out, then the other way around.

Nathan: So this is technically only day two.

Max: These socks are actually a pair of gloves [band laughs].

Jay: He’s got funny toes!

On their undying love for English breakfast staple:

Tom: You know what you don’t have, you don’t have baked beans!

Jay: What!

Siva: That’s crazy.

Jay: You’re seriously missing out.

Nathan: [If we were on the road in the US] I’d bring beans.

Tom: Definitely.

Max: We’d put it on our rider, beans.

Nathan: No no no no, I’d bring them from the UK.

Max: They’re quite heavy, thought.

Nathan: I don’t, I don’t care.

VEVO: You know you can’t go somewhere for breakfast and order baked beans…

Tom: Baked beans on toast?

Jay: Now this is a headfuck! You’re like “Eggs, hash browns, beans… no beans. Baked beans…”

Max: Katy Perry came over to England and she just doesn’t stop eating them now.

Jay: You know what they kind of taste like, you have something called…what’s the round things…

Max: Spaghetti hoops?

Jay: No, um..the things, hoops, hoopie-o’s? Spaghetti O’s — just imagine beans in that can.

On their American celebrity crushes:

Tom: Mila Kunis!

Jay: Ahh!

Siva: Jessica Alba, definitely.

Nathan: Megan Fox — in the old days, though.

Max: I’ve always had a crush on Pamela Anderson.

Jay: She looks a little…haggy now. But she’s still pretty. I like Nicole Scherzinger, but I’d rather Mila Kunis.

TW Interview with OK!

Here is a brand new exclusive interview the boys did with OK magazine!

Tell us about your new single Lightning... Tom: It's about frightening lightning [jokes]. Jay: It's about kissing someone and using lightning as a metaphor to describe your nerves and excitement as you kiss them. Max: It's about the rush

The video looks exciting, with some risky scenes! Did you have fun filming?Max: Yeah it was fun. The scenes that you are talking about, the boys took precautions [jokes]. Jay: We were safe.  

Ok then, who was the naughtiest on set? Max: I caught Nathan in his little tent on top of a girl. It was half past seven in the morning and we could just see Nathan's feet shaking.

Is this true Nathan?Nathan: [puts hands on face]

Moving on! Your new album's called Battleground, tell us what to expect...Max: There's a mixed bag, we've finished our last song on it now and there's some really upbeat songs and there's some hard hitting ones that are quite dark.

How does it compare to your previous stuff?Max: In general it's less middle of the road pop, with darker stuff and it's a bit harsh. Siva: A Danish girl said that Lightning gave her good vibrations.

Max you're engaged, you must be excited... I am very excited, I'm delighted!

Looking to set a date any time soon?  Not yet no, we're going to have a bit of an engagement party soon though.  

Who are you going to invite?
The rest of The Wanted boys are invited. [Turns to others] You are boys don't worry about it. We also might invite Elton John. 

Will he play any music? Nah we'll have Nathan on the piano!

Three of you are in relationships but Jay and Nathan you guys are single. Tell us your pulling secrets.Jay: Attractive girls come over to talk to Nathan and I just sort of make them drunk.

How are you all handling fame?Tom: Very well thanks.Jay: We've turned to drink [jokes].It's really fun and it's stressful but there's a lot of stresses that we don't have anymore so that's good.

Has it affected your relationships with people? Max: It hasn't really changed has it? Jay: It's harder to see people you want to see all the time but like anything, if you can make it work, you do.

Do any of you watch X Factor?All: Yes we do.

How do you think the judges compare to last year?Tom: I think Tulisa's quite good. She's proved a lot of people wrong.Nathan: Gary Barlow has stepped into Simon's role really well.

What do you think of Cheryl Cole's departure?Nathan: I've kinda forgotten.Tom: I thought she was kinda boring anyway.Siva: I liked Cheryl. She's the nation's sweetheart isn't she.Max: You can stereotype what people have said but that doesn't make her a good judge.Siva: She was nice though, she was sincere, she was honest.

You're going on tour with Justin Bieber, are you excited?All: We can't wait.

What do you think of him?Tom: He's really nice.Jay: He is the one of the most famous kids in the world and probably the richest kid in the world and you would think has he turned into a big head and he has not.Tom: He's not. He did come and shoot at me with some air gun thing I was like you little sh**Jay: But that kid has worked so many hours I think he deserves everything he's got.Siva: Well deserved.

Tom: And he's well talented as well.
