Interview
From Greek Magazine (May 2006)
WESTLIFE…
Are these boys never going to grow up?
The
lads we got to know as Westlife, some years ago were
just talking about women, cars and football. Today… they are even talking about
babies!
People
know you as a group for more than seven years. Are there wives, partners and
babies in your life or you are still the boyband we
know?
Shane:
To be honest we like it when people describe us like that. We are still four
lads that still go on stage to perform though. So in this way, we are still the
boyband you know.
Has
the way you treat each other changed with the
years?
Nicky:
Our
friendship is stronger than it used to be because we have gone through many
things together. I and Shane got married, he became a dad and I lost my grand
parents and my cousin.
Shane,
have you calmed at all after your daughter’s birth?
Shane:
A bit… (laughs) When I go out for a drink for example I
take care to be drinking less than I did in the past. Maybe
because I’m usually tired at nights.
You’re
still flying with helicopters though…
Shane:
Sure. I have my own helicopter and sometimes Mark and Kian are coming for company.
Nicky:
I’m not going. I have my own F15, the battle plane! But it’s not a real one but a miniature!
(laughs)
Shane,
are you changing nappies to your daughter?
Shane:
Of course! And I’m really good at that.
Nicky:
It’s true. I’ll never forget the first time we saw him doing this. It was
weird…
Shane:
You find it funny huh? No, the baby was just seven days old then. She’s so
sweet!
Mark,
would you ever adopt a child?
Mark:
I definitely want to have kids one day. It’s
too early for me to become a dad though.
Let’s
have a test now: How many perfumes has each of you?
Kian:
I have just one.
Nicky:
Me too. Armani’s Black Code.
Shane:
I only wear Calvin Klein’s Eternity.
Mark:
I mostly wear Hugo Boss’s Hugo but I have about ten other perfumes too. Perfumes
remind me of things I lived in the past. One reminds me of a night that I was
too drunk and I don’t wear it anymore.
Who
drives the fastest car?
Nicky:
It’s between my Ferrari 355 and Shane’s Porsche 911. But let’s face it; there is
not a car that is faster that Ferrari is.
Nicky,
is it true that you don’t get into lifts?
Nicky:
I don’t like them at all. I avoid them since I was closed in one lift for 15
minutes. I’m not afraid of heights neither flying.
Shane:
He’s a Rambo although he’s afraid of mousse! (laughs)
Last
question: Who will win the Mudial this year?
Mark:
Shane:
Kian:
Argentine!
Nicky:
