With his smooth and charming voice, and well-crafted music, singer/performer Michael Bubble has won over females of all ages and backgrounds - preteens, young wives and even the elderly.
Yet Bubble admits that despite the great amount of success he has achieved, he is trying to compensate for his insecurity when he is off-stage by setting his goals higher - he wants to be the biggest and best entertainer in the world.
“ VANCOUVER - Superstar crooner Michael Bubble says he wants to be the greatest entertainer on Earth and that he also has acting aspirations. But off stage, Bubble confided he’s not quite as confident. “I’m still shy and nervous and insecure,” he told The Canadian Press in an interview Thursday. He had just announced his Canadian tour dates Thursday surrounded by the luxury of billionaire Jimmy Pattison’s yacht.
“I keep wondering when it’ll happen, and I don’t mean on stage because on stage I’m great but in my life, I keep wondering when I’ll walk into a room and not hunch and for when I won’t be insecure and for when I won’t be too loud to overcompensate for my insecurities,” he said.
“I don’t know, it’s weird,” Bubble said.
“I look in the mirror and no matter what, I still see the 14-year-old kid. Maybe it’s part of why people have been attracted to me as a performer. God gave me a real gift and that was to turn off the self -conscious switch on stage and honestly, I could be naked up there.”
Bubble, 32, said people are shocked when they see his off-stage personality and that even his girlfriend, actress Emily Blunt, couldn’t believe the difference in his demeanour.”
Is he still as charming to you, ladies? Leave a comment with your opinion and view on this.
