Pop-punk artist Machine Gun Kelly (born Colson Baker, age 35) stirred up some cosmic speculation during his recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. After being praised for his youthful look, MGK responded intriguingly:
“I don’t know if my age… I don’t know if it exists.”
He then revealed he doesn’t know many facts about his life. One detail he finds odd: if his skin gets cut it “heals really quick.” With a playful hint of mystery, he joked, “Who’s my dad?”
A Mother’s UFO Story Fuels His Speculation
When prompted by Cohen whether he could be from another planet, MGK confided:
“I asked my mom, ‘Was there any period when you were missing, like off the Earth? Was there ever like a tall slender creature?’ She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.”
He even half-joked that maybe conventional belief about his father—James Colson Baker—isn’t accurate, and that his roots may extend beyond Earth.
Social Media Adventures: When Fans React to Extraterrestrial Claims
Unsurprisingly, this claim generated bewildered and amused reactions online. One user quipped:
“The next time someone asks my age, I’m going to straight-up say I don’t know… My mama may or may not have had an affair with an extraterrestrial being.”
Someone else humorously suggested: “Doesn’t he have a birth certificate? That would help.”
More Earthly Concerns: Why MGK Declined a Vampire Film
Shifting from cosmic mysteries, MGK also shared a grounded Hollywood anecdote. He turned down the opportunity to audition for the vampire horror film Sinners because the casting director expected him to recite a racial slur for the audition—something he refused to do. He described how the role was intended for a second vampire character who would attack a family. MGK said, “I wouldn’t [say the n-word].” Despite his aspirations for acting, he chose integrity over a role he couldn’t comfortably accept. Nevertheless, his movie credits are still impressive. He starred in Bird Box (2018) as Felix, and appeared in The King of Staten Island and Project Power in 2020—working alongside stars like Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Why This Makes Headlines
MGK’s off-the-wall claim—questioning both his earthly origins and his exact age—stands out amid the usual celebrity chatter. His admission of rapid skin regeneration and his mother’s UFO tale amplify the eccentric narrative, blending whimsy, existential reflection, and genuine curiosity.
Conclusion
Machine Gun Kelly’s latest comments unveiled a blend of whimsy, curiosity, and introspection. On Watch What Happens Live, he mused that his age might not exist and hinted at a peculiar healing trait, creating a playful yet uncanny image of himself. When pressed on extraterrestrial ancestry, he referenced his mother’s assertion of a possible alien abduction—lifting the curtain on a bizarre and unforgettable family anecdote. Online reactions ranged from hilarious confusion to playful acceptance, turning buzzworthy headlines into entertainment fodder. Meanwhile, MGK reflected grounded values in the realm of acting, choosing to turn down a vampire film audition rather than compromise principles.
