Adam Lambert took Australia by storm with his drastically diverse performances, but it appears that fans are just as interested in hearing the glam rocker talk as they are to hear him strut-and-sing. Adam sat down with Triple M radio show host Byron Cooke for a one-on-one… and, apparently, the Aussie reporter hoped the interview would turn into a much more intimate affair. Cooke thought it would be a hoot to ask Adam out on a date, despite the fact that he’s heterosexual and they just met. Check out Adam’s reaction, along with other musings on his personal life, in the video clips below.
Adam politely declines the jokey invitation for a date: besides being straight, Lambert admits that Cooke is “too masculine” for him. He keeps it lighthearted, but makes sure to add, “Just because you’re gay it doesn’t mean you just date any dude.” Well said, Adam. We’re glad you didn’t play along with Cooke’s demeaning proposition—although it obviously was meant for a laugh, the host should’ve realized how insulting it is to suggest that two men going on a date would be a hilarious punchline.
Patronizing jokes aside, the interview continued. Adam discusses many of his “firsts”: his first album (hint: it doesn’t include anything written by Kara Dioguardi), his first car, and who the recipient of Adam’s first kiss happened to be. It involved a BJ, and no, we’re not being dirty.
Check out Triple M’s site to listen to the rest of Adam’s interview, including why Adam wisely chose classic rocks during his stint on Idol, and his thoughts on his collaborations with the likes of Muse and Queen. But our personal favorite collaboration of Lambert’s has to be this one.
It was a joke, not serious at all, you do know that, don't you? lol
I did know it was a joke. But it wasn't very funny.
I too get that it was all to be lighthearted, I understood that right from the get-go, as, quite frankly, Lambert did too… but I do agree that there was something “punchline-ish” about it that wasn't cool. But oh well, Lambert just used it as yet another opportunity to show his intellect and quick wit, wise and worldly way about him. Lambert's “brain” is as sexy as anything else about him, if not more!
Very funny and not demeaning at all. Byron wasn't going for a cheap punchline about two guys going on a date. He's got a total man-crush on Adam and was playing that out. The Muse T-shirt was the perfect touch.
Wow Adam Lambert is such a character and I liked how nice he let the reporter down. That was a bit odd and he adapted well to the come on. The guy is rather huge in comparison to Adam. Adam is a slender and tall rocker. That reporter was like a lumber jack on steroids. Ew! Adam was fabulous.
Bridgette Jean (BJ)…you are now famous!
I didn't know it was a joke. I thought the dude was coming on to Adam. Funny interview. Adam's always a class act – funny comeback lines.
LOL there was nothing offensive about this! Adam took it in the spirit it was given and went along with it. RELAX people! This guy was not disrespecting Adam in anyway
Umm excuse me? …”the host should’ve realized how insulting it is to suggest that two men going on a date would be a hilarious punchline”. Im an Australian who is Adams biggest fan and I didnt find this insulting! Maybe u dont get our sense of humour..everything isnt sooo serious/dramatic! I think he sincerly had a man-crush on Adam (who wouldnt) and thought he would display this! I found it very funny! But offcourse I wouldnt expect Adam to say yes, he can do better haha!
Scary. Bet joking or not Adam gets a lot of offers. That guy looked like a brick wall coming after you. I think anyone would run.
I am glad Adam's getting so much love in Oz! You need to correct the part where you state that Kara DioGuardi didn't write on Adam's album, because she & Adam co-wrote “Strut” together – and it's a great song!
So sweet, so cute! Yeah, he makes errors in life but look in a mirror. I don't like Adam because he's perfect, I like him because he's smart, funny, and gives me energy in a very good, positive way. By the way, Adam fields come-ons all the time and I'm sure he knew this guy was joking. Even if he wasn't, so what?
That was hilarious! ADAM would make a good stand up comic! His come backs had me in stitches. All in good fun … and ADAM just went along with it. So witty & cute! Gotta love that STAR!!
That Aussie dude is an asshole
