Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has spoken very frankly about the struggles he has gone through with his mental health.
Machine Gun Kelly Opens Up About His Mental Health-‘I Don’t Feel Like Smiling’
MGK could not be in a happier moment in his life. His relationship with Megan Fox is going great, and by the sounds of it, they are ready to commit to things long term. But things were not always that rosy as he went on to outline.
He has admitted to having a problem with substance abuse in the past, given that he has struggled with alcohol and cocaine.
Although he has managed to put those issues behind, there are still some days where the musician is heavily impacted by his personal battles.
In an interview on ‘The Drew Barrymore show,’ MGK he said: “I see a lot of pictures of me and there’s like, smiles on them.
“It’s just weird though because I didn’t feel good at all that day and I kind of am sick of smiling on days when I don’t feel like smiling.”
And this expectation to act in a certain way was something that had been impacting MGK. Given that he is one of the biggest stars around, every single action that he does is scrutinised.
This was most notably show when MGK was involved in high profile bust ups in public. On one occasion, he was accused of punching a fan on stage.
While at the MTV awards, there were reports that he had gone into an altercation with none other than UFC star Conor McGregor. That ultimately made him realise that he had to conduct himself better, knowing that there were people watching.
He added: “I feel like this odd pressure because I don’t want my fans to think that I’m taking something for granted so if I accept an award and I’m super smiley but behind the scenes, there was stuff going on.”
The musician will have no doubt won over some new fans with this interview. He has shown a new side to the public, far from the one that we are so accustomed to seeing by MGK having a tough persona.
