Previously, the singer revealed he couldn’t get aroused due to his size.
Bunnie Xo said she’s also noticed him acting like a big kid, telling Us Weekly in her interview: “Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, ‘You are athletic under that meat suit.’ Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it’s brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he’s happy, I’m happy.”
The lead actress in 9 Songs, a controversial movie with unsimulated sex scenes, spoke out in defense of the film 20 years on from its release.
Margo Stilley’s breakout role was in the 2004 film and she’s since starred in movies and TV shows such as The Trip, The Royals with Elizabeth Hurley, The Host, and How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.
9 Songs was directed by award-winner Michael Winterbottom and follows the extremely intense relationship between Matt (Kieran O’Brien) and Lisa (Stilley).
The racy movie included real-life sex scenes, oral sex scenes, and an ejaculation scene which has sure raised eyebrows over the years.
While risky movies like these often draw audiences in – hello, Saltburn – this particular film tanked with critics. It currently boasts just 23 percent on Rotten Tomatoes where one reviewer branded it as ‘actively annoying’.
Despite this and the unsimulated sex scenes in 9 Songs, Stilley said she didn’t realize at the time that it would cause such a stir.
Speaking to LADBible in 2024, she shared: « I just didn’t think would be that interested. I was so wrong.
« I didn’t understand that I would become the target of Britain’s repressed sexuality and all the rage that comes with sexual repression [and] as the woman I was the figurehead for it. »
Meanwhile, in 2005, she told The Guardian she was ‘proud’ of the movie.
