Lenny Kravitz Hired Someone Just To Roll His Joints; Was Smoking At ‘Bob Marley Level’
Lenny Kravitz has revealed that he used to be a heavy joint smoker.
The singer-songwriter, who just turned 60 last Sunday, talked to The Guardian about the lifestyle he used to have before he embraced clean living. In his interview, he said that, as a heavy smoker in the past, somebody used to roll his joints for him.
"Erm, yes. A junior high school friend. He had other jobs, too, but one of them was to roll joints," he responded when the interviewer asked if it was true that he had hired somebody just to roll his joints.
Kravitz said that one of this high schooler's other jobs was to "just assist" him, saying, "I wanted my buddy with me."
He also talked about being a "mega spliff head," who used to smoke more than 25 spliffs a day.
"I was Bob Marley level... I'd been smoking weed since I was 11. I stopped years ago. Maybe I'll have a hit every now and then -- as you saw in the video -- but I'm talking about every now and again," he said.
The "Fly Away" artist has now swapped his smoking habit with working out at the gym.
"Well, there's a lot of hard work and discipline in being healthy for me. That means when I want to eat junk, I don't do it," he explained.
"Take last night. I worked all day, [did] interviews, [rehearsed] into the night and [got] home at 11 p.m. I need to eat something. Now it's 1 a.m. I didn't get my workout. So I went to the gym, and I did a 90-minute workout at 2 a.m. I don't want to be in the gym at 2 a.m., but I know that I must."
"Because it's part of my discipline -- it's about body, mind and spirit. I want all of those three elements aligned. If my body's in shape and my spirit and mind are not, then it's just something nice to look at or to boast about," he said.
"Who cares? For me, all of it has to be aligned. And I have to do the work it takes to have all of those in alignment so my being can be at its maximum."
Lenny released his 12th album, "Blue Electric Light," on May 24 to accompany his "Let Love Rule" memoir, according to The Daily Illini.
It features a total of 12 tracks, including "It's Just Another Fine Day (In This Universe of Love), "TK421," "Honey," "Paralyzed," "Human," "Let It Ride," "Stuck In The Middle," "Bundle of Joy," "Love Is My Religion," "Heaven," "Spirit in My Heart" and the title track.
