Pete Wentz is famous for his bare-it-all past interviews, in which he either discussed his relationship with pop star Ashlee Simpson or his fondness of women’s apparel. This time, the rocker reveals that he’s terrified for his life, living under the conviction that someone will eventually murder him – which is why he never answers the door, as he says in a recent interview with the Daily Mail.
Wentz, who, in the past, has also spoken about his bipolar disorder and suicide attempt, shares that his life is now mostly lived in the shadow of fear. It’s not that he’s receiving death threats that has got him to believe that, he adds, but some inner voice that keeps telling him that he will be killed. The best way to prevent this, as of now, is to never answer the door, Wentz also reveals.
“I used to think that some day I’d end up murdering a close friend or relative. Now it’s reversed and I’m convinced it’s going to happen to me. That’s the way I’m going out, I’m completely sure of it. So I refuse to answer the front door – it greatly minimizes that risk.” Pete Wentz explains for the Mail. However, he does not let that interfere with his life as a husband, father and musician, since these three are fixed points in his life that offer him the ability and power to tackle the bipolar disorder he’s been diagnosed with.
Speaking of music, Pete also points out that one of his greatest nightmares would come true if Johnny Depp ever joined Fall Out Boy. It’s not that the actor does not have a great voice – which he admittedly does – that frightens him, but the fact that he would virtually have to stand so close to someone who is the epitome of coolness.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy’s work. But imagine being in a band with someone who’s a million times better-looking and charming than yourself. I wouldn’t stand a chance. Same goes for Barack Obama. How could I say no if he wanted to join the band? Maybe he could do some dancing at the side of the stage. That would be cool.” Pete jokingly concludes.
