In a recent press conference for the NHL All-Star Game draft in Toronto, Canadian singer Michael Bublé made headlines when he joked about having taken a psychedelic drug prior to the event. The 48-year-old crooner claimed it was a microdose of mushrooms, only to later clarify that it was all just a humorous remark.
During the press conference, Bublé shared his initial belief that he was in the comedy film 'Blades of Glory' rather than at the NHL All-Star Game. His friend and fellow actor, Will Arnett, playfully teased Bublé, jokingly suggesting that his career had been compromised by his statements. The singer humorously added that the mention of mushrooms likely cost him all of his contracts.
After his comments went viral, Bublé retracted his initial remarks, explaining that people misunderstood his humor. When questioned about the alleged mushrooms intake in a later interview with iHeart Radio Canada, he playfully avoided directly addressing it, emphasizing that he was merely joking. Bublé wondered how many mushrooms one would need to be on to not understand his sense of humor after 20 years in the industry.
This is not the first time Bublé's sense of humor has been misconstrued. In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the singer frequently went on Instagram Live with his wife, Luisana Lopilato, where playful moments, such as nudging and grabbing, were shared. However, these actions stirred concern among viewers at the time, prompting Lopilato to defend her husband and reassure their supporters that she was not being mistreated.
It seems that Bublé has a knack for quips and humorous antics, often pushing boundaries and testing the limits of his audience's understanding. While some may misconstrue his intentions, it's important to recognize that his comedic remarks are just that - jokes meant to entertain. As he continues to navigate his career and personal life, Bublé remains unapologetically himself, living his best life and spreading laughter along the way.
