Singer, songwriter Pharrell Williams made the whole world feel “Happy” when he released the song in 2014. Everyone from thugs to church people were singing, “…because I’m happy!” The song became so popular that even the United Nations created a “Be Happy” day around the world.
Now the 51-year-old married, award-winning, baby-faced artist and father of three shares what makes his skin happy, because a lot of people have been asking.
In an interview with Time Out London, “Skateboard P” Williams responded to the question that he’s some type of vampire. That’s the only way some people think he can keep such a youthful look in his 40’s.
And yes, there seem to be a lot of people searching for ‘Is Pharrell Williams a vampire?’ on Google.
“Are you a vampire?” To which the Blurred Lines singer responded:
“No I am not. I’m willing to go on record as saying that I don’t drink people’s blood. How do I stay so young-looking for a 40-something year old? I wash my face.”
Wait…is that it? Is that the holy grail that we’ve been waiting on? Well, yes, and no. It really depends on what Pharrell uses to wash his face.
The multi-platinum hit maker revealed that he learned all he needed to know about skincare from supermodel Naomi Campbell. “Listen, this is what you have to do — you have to go to a dermatologist; you can’t keep using drugstore products,” she told him. Clearly, he listened.
