Michael Buble has insisted that his clean-cut image is only for the camera and is nothing like his real-life persona.
The 49-year-old Canadian singer has shifted over 75 million records worldwide thanks to his butter-wouldn’t-melt image.
But the Haven’t Met You Yet singer has insisted that he is far more risqué in real life than his clean-cut image suggests.
Opening up about his wild side, Buble told The Sun, “The guy in the suit was a creation of a record company. That thing that your grandma loves – that isn’t me. It never was.
“They’re marketing me as, ‘Your mum will love him. The more cats you have, the more adorable this guy will be’.”
He added, “As I look back now, I was just so immature, just so emotionally immature. I was like a kid in a candy store with fame. Like, ‘Oh my God, there’s all this stuff and you can buy the things you want’. I could party too.”

The father-of-four has been married to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato since 2011 and reveals she tamed him.
The singer said, “From the moment I met my wife, I became a better man. I was just a little lost and had no willpower when it came to control of whatever it was, partying, eating or doing whatever.
“She would say to me, ‘I love you Mike, but I don’t want to be with a drinking man or a drug man or a smoking man or this or that’. She was adamant.”
Michael previously described how he suffered a “sledgehammer to (his) reality” when his eldest son Noah, 11, was diagnosed with cancer.
The crooner had to reset his priorities after his child was diagnosed with a rare tumour at the age of three as he cancelled his tour to be with him during treatment.

Buble – who also has children Elias, eight, Vida, six, and Cielo, two, with Luisana – told the ‘Diary Of A CEO’ podcast: “My son’s cancer diagnosis rocked my world.
“It pulled the curtain from over my eyes. I don’t want to get deeper into it, but I don’t think I had context.
“That was a sledgehammer to my reality – I will never be carefree again in my life, and that’s OK.
“It is a privilege for me to exist and that pain, fear and suffering that comes with those sorts of things, it’s part of this life.”
