Johnny on Howard Stern
WELCOME TO JOHNNY WEIR’S WORLD
Star figure skater Johnny Weir stopped by to promote his new book, ‘Welcome to My World,’ and laughed off Howard’s comment about his dramatic make-up: “I wanted to do a natural man make-up for you.” Howard asked why Johnny wasn’t more successful at the Vancouver Olympics, so Johnny referenced the “political” judging scandal that followed the competition: “I skated the best I ever did and that’s unfortunately [all] I’ve got to show for it. You bend over and you take it.”
Howard asked if there might be an anti-gay bias, but Johnny dodged the issue: “The people that do judge us are about a half a century older than us, so there is a cultural gap there.” Johnny said he was glad the games were over, as he has time to rest before he starts training for 2014: “It’s nice to have this year where I can actually eat.” Johnny is 5’9” tall and currently weighs 136lbs--a size necessary for figure skating’s aerials: “You can’t be heavy or bulky. It’s devotion.”
FROM CORNFIELDS TO ARENAS
Howard noted that Johnny started his athletic career as a competitive horseback rider, so Johnny explained: “And I skied before that. I’m bad at the team sports...I learned to skate, really, on a cornfield that froze over behind my house.” Johnny said he progressed quickly: “I had some natural gift. In my first year of skating, I was on the national team for the United States.”
Howard asked if Johnny was a rich man, but Johnny denied it, saying he reinvests every penny: “Everything that I make goes back into my art...into helping me achieve things that I want to achieve.” One of those achievements might finally put him into the black: “We’re working on my own sort of stage production and spectacular.”
WEIR IN THE BEDROOM
Asked to name his ideal man, Johnny picked Justin Timberlake: “That sort of type. With the scruff and the hair and, you know, because I’m sort of feminine. So, I mean, I like a guy--a man.” But he’s not strictly a bottom: “I like to try whatever happens.” Howard laughed: “Well, you seem like a fun guy. I’d go out with you.” Johnny said he was ‘platinum’: “I like to call it a platinum gay, the ones that will flip.”
Johnny said he knew he was gay at 6 years old: “I was watching ‘Pretty Woman’ with my family and I wanted--desperately--to be Julia Roberts.” Howard wondered if he’d ever had a woman, so Johnny said he’d only kissed his girlfriends for practice: “I have seen the small man in the boat but I’ve never licked it.” Johnny also speculated that he could finish when receiving anal sex (“If it’s good, yes. [But] it’s never happened. No one’s been that good yet.”) and bragged about his oral sex prowess: “Well, I’ve got a larger bottom lip than a top one, so that may give me an advantage.”
