Ringo Starr has never eaten pizza or curry in his life: “It makes me ill immediately”
Ringo Starr made a startling revelation while appearing as guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!: he has never had pizza nor curry.Yesterday (January 29), Starr appeared on the talk show to promote his new album ‘Look Up’, a country album produced with T-Bone Burnett.In the interview, Kimmel took the time to ask Starr to clear up popular rumours about himself – one of which is that Starr has never eaten pizza, which he confirmed to the audience’s surprise. “Or a curry,” he said to louder gasps from the crowd.He clarified that he’s “allergic to several items”, and that with pizza and curry, “you don’t know what the fuck’s in it.” The gamble to try either dish is too great for him: “I’m strict with myself since it makes me ill immediately.”“I used to think you had the greatest life, and now I realise mine is better,” Kimmel quipped, to which Ringo agreed: “Yours is better because you’ve had a pizza”.To celebrate the release of ‘Look Up’, Starr performed a concert in Nashville, which was captured for the upcoming concert film Ringo & Friends At The Ryman, due for release on Paramount+ sometime in spring.
