isibly squirming before my eyes, Matty Healy springs to the back of the armchair he’s sitting on, yanks his feet up and pulls his knees close to his chest, curling into a foetal-like position. “Nah,” he mutters, face scrunched. “Is that how they do it?”
I’ve just explained to The 1975 front-man what “tucking” is, detailing the ins and outs (literally) of doing drag, and Matty isn’t sweet on the idea of having to poke your balls back inside yourself.
