Singer Enrique Iglesias says he was never tempted by drugs.

The 38-year-old believes it is fine for stars to experiment with illegal substances, but they need to know when to stop, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was never tempted by drugs. The amount of times I've been asked, 'You don't do coke? But you're in music. You really don't do coke?'" Iglesias said.

"I don't like sticking stuff up my nose. Get me a drink, get me a rum. I drink, I'm a social drinker but I feel like I can control it.

"There are friends of mine who go out at the weekend and do a lot of cocaine and do any drug and be perfectly fine throughout the week. But some others can't do that. I need my eight hours sleep, that's for sure," he added.
