Singer Boy George has said he struggled with leading a "normal life" at the height of his fame during 80s.
The 55-year-old Culture Club star said he now feels confident in his skin, but admits there was a time when he tried hard to fit into the "real world", reported The Guardian.
"It's all fun at the beginning because you're being carted everywhere in limousines and trucks and then when you start wanting to go out in the real world, it doesn't quite work.
"It takes years to get your head around how to have some sort of normal life whilst also enjoying the spoils of being Boy George. I think I've got that balance now. If someone comes up and wants a selfie, I'm not going to be rude or hostile or arsey. I just pull a silly face. If in doubt: pout," he said.
