Nineteen-nineties popularity surge for Mystery Girl singer Peter Andre, leading to the moniker 'The Six Pack' due to his chiseled abs, an aspect he rarely discussed publicly.
Rewritten Article:
Pop star Peter Andre opened up about his famous six-pack and the insecurities he once hid behind it. The 52-year-old singer, who is currently in Australia for his movie debut, Jafaican, shared his struggle with self-image in an interview with The Advertiser.
Andre revealed that he used to be bullied for his looks during his school days due to his Greek heritage and distinctive features. He mentioned, "I used to be teased a lot at school because I was Greek with the big nose and curly hair—I used to loathe my nose." To cope, he grew his hair long to hide his face and turned away from the camera when photos were taken.
But once he earned the nickname "The Six Pack," he discovered a different way to hide his insecurities. "I never really told people I used to train like crazy so people would focus on my body instead of my face," he confessed.
The Mysterious Girl singer also shared an anecdote about his desire to change his nose. Recalling his days living in Los Angeles, he came across a picture of Robert Downey Jr. and realized he wanted a similar nose. He then visited a surgeon with a picture of his sister, who had a perfect nose, and asked if they could create that look for him.
Controversy arose when Peter wore dreadlocks and put on a Jamaican accent in the Jafaican trailer he shared on social media in April. Some fans criticized the move, with one tweeting, "Did I wake up in 1998?" After receiving backlash, Peter deleted his post.
Jafaican, a crime-comedy set for release later this year, sees Peter playing the lead character, Gary Buckle, who must adopt Jamaican culture to pull off a scam.
As for his decision to wear dreadlocks in the film, it appears Peter has no regrets. Looking back, he could only laugh and respond, "It was fun."
