5 Seconds of Summer have dubbed themselves ‘single, ready to mingle… and eat Pringles’ after inviting fans to join them in their hotel showers.
The Australian pop punk band – consisting of Michael Clifford, 18; Luke Hemmings, 17; Calum Hood, 18; and 19-year-old Ashton Irwin – are set to top the charts this Sunday with new single She Looks So Perfect and are not shaken by their fiercely growing fan base.
‘I think we’ve all got really good at dodging stuff on stage,’ Clifford explains, having had numerous items rain down on him and his bandmates during live gigs.
‘We get some bras thrown. Ashton once got a Rubik’s Cube thrown at him – it was like they were asking him to solve it or something. And that would hurt!’ he went on.
‘We’ve had plastic boobs thrown at us. They are hard to explain… I think I threw them back at the crowd,’ adds Hemmings.
Having seen their own popularity explode after touring with boyband extraordinaire One Direction last summer, the lads say they would welcome the same level of manic appreciation that Harry Styles and co receive.
‘We’ve heard stories from other people about going into their hotel showers and a fan is already in there. But that hasn’t happened. I reckon that could be funny, actually,’ Clifford laughed during an exclusive chat with Guilty Pleasures.
And fans of the boys may also be able bag a date with one of them, if they play their cards right.
‘We are all single and ready to mingle and eat Pringles. I love the British accent, so I’d go there,’ Hemmings winked.
‘I’d definitely date a fan. It would be like dating someone who likes your music so it would be a bonus,’ explained Clifford – adding he would even date a lady if she hated their tunes.
‘I’m not sure. It depends if they have a good reason for hating our music. If they just said “you suck!” that would just not be nice. But if she just didn’t like the band because of other music tastes, I would let her off,’ he laughed.
