“I can’t go out there and absolutely be myself, I’ve always put on some kind of act. Whether it was the cocky kid in the Lacoste T-shirt [that I used to do] or whatever, it’s all kind of an act to some extent. But…" He frowns. “It’s not a full-on, ‘right, get into character’ thing. It’s some sort of extension, maybe, of who I am actually.” +

There’s this story about him remembering a fan he met 8 years ago!
So the story is that Alex Turner remembered meeting me 8 years ago. From London Gatwick to Hollywood. x
The Rat King:
I invited him to talk w my friends because he was smoking alone, he introduced himself to me as “Al”, n bought us drinks, n we talked for a long time. We were all bein chill w him and not asking for photos or anything, so this is literally the only photo that was taken. x
Ahhhhhhhh. So I was out having a cigarette with my friends and he comes out and starts smoking near us but alone, just looking in our direction, and these rats are running nearby him so I say, “Hey, there’s a bunch of rats over there.” And he goes, “Oh god really?” I’m like, “Yeah you’re the rat king.” So he laughed and said, “Yes! I’m the rat king, might as well embrace it” and then “Hi I’m Al” and we discussed rats further etc etc x
There’s also this video where he seemed super tired but still made sure everyone got photos and stuff signed.
