In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Jesse McCartney had some interesting things to say. The singer spoke a bit about pop band, the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings as well as charities, the Food Network and finding the right girl for him.
On the Jonas Brothers, Jesse says, “I never wore a promise ring like them. It’s a big step for them to be open about their virginity. I’ve seen them take a lot of heat. But I respect them, if that’s what they want to do. It’s cool.”
On charity work, “She’s [my mom] a cool chick… [I] grew up in a Christian household. We went to church every Sunday. I do think it’s my duty to give back. That’s why I’m involved with St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Bono is my inspiration not only as a rock star but as a humanitarian. We aren’t just put on this earth to sell records. Maybe it’s because of my upbringing, but I do consider myself a moral guy.”
On what he likes to watch on television, “All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheese making class a few weeks ago, and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I’m into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I’d love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.”
When asked about what he’s looking for in a dream girl he says, : “She’ll have to be someone who likes to eat my cooking. Or, at least, she’ll have to pretend.”
Well, that was a fun interview! Who new Jesse was interested into cooking?! Sounds like he’ll make a good husband for a lucky girl who won’t have to worry about dinner every night!
