| Mark: Tell me about your days off. I saw that your hair went blonde during your days off. Ricky: Because I was bored! A lot of people went, "What is wrong with this kid? Is he going crazy now? What is fame doing to him?" No, I just wanted to have fun. I'm an artist, I can express myself how I want to. Mark: Did people recognize you? Ricky: Not really. I was in Nepal with my blonde hair and nobody noticed it. Then when I sent the picture in an article, it was all over the news in Latin America and in America. So I said, "If they think I'm this way, then I'm changing it." So I went to my room, I grabbed the clippers, and I shaved it completely. Mark: Didn't you shave your head before? Ricky: Yeah before I went to India last year. Mark: Down to nothing? Ricky: Down to nothing. I didn't shave it. I didn't use clippers -- I just went straight. It felt so good -- it's purifying. My stylist went, "Let's make it very spiritual if you're gonna really do it." I went, "Give me the clippers. It's really spiritual. If you don't do it, I'll do it." [both laugh] |
