SEX ISSUE - Matt Bellamy - Muse [Melody Maker (July 5th, 2000)]
MATT BELLAMY MUSE
WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING A SEX SYMBOL? “I’m not. Why do I think that? Because I just don’t get any offers. I need to see evidence before I’m willing to believe that. What kind of evidence? Well, a few real nice naked women offering themselves… and their friends. Or sisters. Twins. That’s when you know you’re a sex symbol.”
WHO DO YOU THINK IS A SEX SYMBOL? “Marilyn Monroe? Björk? I mean, she’s obviously into dressing up, isn’t she? But I can’t say what I’d like to do to her cos she’ll read it and beat me up. Hmmm… maybe that’s what I’m after, actually!”
WHAT ARE YOU LIKE TO GO OUT WITH? “Um… moody. Nah, I’m generally all right. I suppose I’m like your best friend. Your best friend who likes to have sex with you. Not marriage, not relationships, not romance. Just good friends. With a lot of sex.”
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CHAT YOU UP? “Get your tits out.”
Translator's Note: In other words, 22 year old Matt was into BDSM, dressing up, and doesn't mind a friends with benefits thing going on. As for what sort of kinks and fetishes he was into, I'd leave that up to your imagination.
And yes, the title of the article was literally called the Sex Issue.
