1st Draft

This is the first draft of my magazine article.

Alex Auld super star DJ and genuine human being words by Ali White Pictures by Pev
How’s life?
Pretty amazing thanks. It’s a bit like a super charged tornado; at the moment I seem to be everywhere.
If you weren’t a super star what would you be doing?
I’ve always wanted to do something really dangerous, like robbing a bank and being chased by policemen like in the movies. That would be cool
And also totally illegal.
Weren’t you spotted having lunch with a certain brunette TV presenter and model?
Erm No… maybe, No comment. He blushes profusely. Giselle’s lovely but we’re just friends.
Who is the most interesting person in showbiz that you’ve met so far?
Jonny Deep. I met him the other week at a party, although he didn’t say much: I find that people who talk a lot can have amazing stories to tell but it’s the people who don’t talk at all who are the most interesting. There’s something mysterious about them.
If you were a cake what cake would you be?
Can I be an ice cream?
Yes
I’d like to be Rum ’n’ Raisin please.
That’s very rock and roll. How about a Kebab?
No, they look like elephant legs. And smell like them.
So tell us about rebellion.
Well my dad was born into money but my mum earned hers so she has always taught me if you want something, get it yourself. I wanted to do music; my dad wanted me to be a lawyer. I guess that’s rebellious.
Parents! Pah! Anything else? Go on tell us something bad.
When I was a young teenager I used to baby-sit my next-door neighbours son. When he was asleep I would go into their bedroom and go through their bedside drawers. I found a packet of condoms. I put a pin through the middle of each of them, and thus ensured myself another 5 years of babysitting.
Smart Kid. Best part time job?
I worked in laundry for a while when I was 19. People always forgot things and there was this big basket of unclaimed items. I took all the socks home and put them to good use…
How do you feel about being voted Britain’s fourteenth sexiest man?
Excited, it means I now have an excuse to walk around my house naked all the time.
Why do you wear a wonder woman cape when you’re performing?
Year 5. Lunchtime confronted by bullies I hastily broke into a Wonder Woman routine, hoping to frighten the big goons off. But considering I was a scrawny runt of a boy, it didn’t go down too well. My music is kind of a backlash at them, proving to them I’m not that kid anymore. And I wear the cape so they know it’s me.
What’s in your pockets today?
Rizzla, tobacco, Led Zeppelin lighter, my phone, 20p, filters, a red button, an old tube ticket
Your preferred choice of cigarette?
Rolled.
Alex Auld’s debut album “special needs” is out now.
