Boy George Recalls the Moment His Hero Muhammad Ali Told Him ‘You’re a Very Pretty Boy’

The “Karma Chameleon” singer shared a memory from his life before he reached superstardom

Boy George met his hero Muhammad Ali at a nightclub, long before the Culture Club singer was famous.

In a recent interview on the Graham Norton Show, the 62-year-old singer told Graham Norton, Greta Lee, Sarah Snook and Miriam Margolyes that he met Ali in a nightclub, when George was younger and known around London “for dressing up” and “before” he was famous.

“I felt I was more famous than I was,” George, whose real name is George O’Dowd, joked as he began the story.
