The singer and reality TV star sees elements of One Direction band member Harry in himself – as they both became stars while teenagers – and doesn’t think his wild nights of partying are any cause for concern.
He said: “Harry Styles was in the papers last week after enjoying an all-night partying session that finished at 7am. People seem worried that he’s burning the candle at both ends, but let me tell you – I’ve been there, done that and I think it’s totally normal for a kid of his age.
“I was 16 when I signed my first record deal, so I was younger than Harry when I started out. I was doing all-nighters until I was about 25 and thought nothing of it! Eventually, you grow out of it, and if anyone suggested doing that now, I’d be like, ‘No thanks, I’m off to bed!’ ”
Peter – who turns 40 this week (27.02.13) – is also thinking about taking on a fitness challenge and getting pumped to celebrate his 40th year.
He added: “A couple of years ago, Men’s Health magazine approached me to appear on their front cover. The idea was that I’d follow a tough, 12-week programme to get myself into my best shape ever, complete with before and after photo shoots. At the time, I wasn’t ready, but now I’m turning 40 it’s a challenge I’d love to take on.
“You undergo a gruelling fitness regime and “caveman”- style diet for three months, but afterwards you’re in your absolute peak condition. I like the idea of being in even better shape than I was when I shot my ‘Mysterious Girl’ video 17 years ago so, Men’s Health, bring it on!”
