Mr. Mariah Carey talks twins, टैटू and making the wife laugh
So what if he's married to one of the most famous, five-octave-range-singing, Hello Kitty-loving superstar artists on the planet? For comedian Nick Cannon, 30, being Mariah Carey's baby daddy means keeping it real.
We got him to dish on his own day-to-day craziness.
New York Post: Holy cow, Nick – twins! Are आप exhausted?
Nick Cannon: Nah, I don't get tired (laughs).
आप guys described the birthing process as an "I प्यार Lucy" episode – including how आप got लॉस्ट on your way to the maternity ward. What went down?
आप know how we guys don't like to take directions. We'd been to the hospital a couple of times before and I was like, "I know where I'm going." I was trying to be Super Dad, carrying all the bags, and I went in through the wrong entrance. The hospital is hard to navigate – it's a big place!
Before the big day, आप tweeted about being afraid you'd faint in the delivery room. Did आप keep cool?
Yeah, I had the camera, so that helped me maintain my emotions. There was definitely a lot of blood, and I don't really like hospitals that much, but I was just like, "Focus on the camera."
What makes Mariah laugh?
Being silly. My characters. She actually loves talking in characters and stuff. We're always around the house talking in different accents.
Have आप gotten any crazy baby gifts from celebrity friends?
Sharon and Ozzy [Osbourne] bought us this life-sized stuffed giraffe. And some गॉथिक thrones for the babies. That was a little... different.
You've already got "Mariah" tattooed across your entire back – will आप get "Monroe" and "Moroccan" tattoos?
I don't know. I think I might be tattooed out. I was the person who कहा I would never get tattoos. So even to have that on my back is a big ordeal.
आप recently gave out your real घर phone number on your New York morning radio show. What were आप thinking?
Well, luckily, we have और than one line, so now the line in the रसोई, रसोईघर is designated for people to leave messages.
Have people been calling?
Oh, like crazy. It's mostly people calling to tell my wife how great she is, या to sing for her. The people who call to tell me how much they प्यार my radio दिखाना are few and far between. One dude called and blatantly just said, "Hey, I need $5,000." आप gotta respect that – he came out and asked for what he wanted.
