Bruno Mars Bluntly Explains Lying to Cops: "I Was Really Drunk"
With can't-miss pop hitmaker Bruno Mars gracing the cover of the latest GQ, the magazine took advantage of their time with the "Locked Out of Heaven" songwriter to clear up some issues with his 2010 arrest in Las Vegas for drug possession.
Mars explained why he lied to the officers by telling them he'd never used drugs before with this lovably blunt response: "I was really drunk."
Whether or not you like that response, you can't argue with his candor.
"I don't know where that [excuse] came from," Mars said. "A lot of that is a big blur, and I try every day to forget and keep pushing." Despite his hazy memories of the arrest—which reports say was due to his possession of 2.6 grams of cocaine—Mars told GQ he's definitely learned from the experience.
"I wasn’t thinking," Mars repeatedly told the reporter. "You're a kid experiencing life in f-cking Sin City, and that was the lesson: It can all be taken away. Put you in a weird place. Embarrass you."
