Gene Simmons has a sweet tooth!
The KISS rocker opened up about his obsession with “cookies, chocolate, cake,” but he’s had to cut back after decades of eating what he loved.
“When I’m on tour, it doesn’t matter,” he told Men’s Health Magazine.
“I would eat cheesecake every day because I’m wearing 40 lb. armor, 7-inch platform heels… You don’t have to do anything. Within two hours you’ll be exhausted. The amount of calories burned on stage, it’s like a heavy workout. So I could eat anything,” the rock star said.
Gene also revealed that he could take or leave even the fanciest dishes, but struggled to resist sweets of any kind.
“I don’t care if it’s pasta or shmasta, or foie gras and something with a French name…I really don’t care,” he said.
The Forever rocker added: “I love cake. Cookies, chocolate, cake. That’s about as much fun as I can have with my pants on.”
However, Gene admitted that an aging metabolism meant he could no longer eat sweets as often or as extravagantly as he used to.
“I have to see it. You know, my girlish figure and all,” he said wryly.
“And the older I get… I’m 76 now. The problem is your metabolism, it slows down like the ticking of an old clock. So at 76 I can’t get as much as I want,” Detroit Rock City hitmaker mentioned.
