Pharrell Williams has addressed comments about his youthful appearance at 40 years old.
The singer responded to internet memes and jokes that he is vampire as he hasn't appeared to age in his 20-year career.
"I'm willing to go on record as saying that I don't drink people's blood," he told Time Out. "How do I stay so young-looking for a 40-year-old? I wash my face."
Meanwhile, the singer and producer, who has had a string of hit singles over the last 12 months with 'Get Lucky', 'Blurred Lines' and 'Happy', admitted he is struggling to stay cool about his renewed success.
"Seriously, I find myself trying to be cool about it, but I'm really like... whoa!" he said. "I've always produced music for artists who are going through this level of success, but I just didn't know it would be this crazy.
"I'm like a kid with a sweet tooth waking up in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory."
He continued: "Look, as a producer, I've always been the guy standing next to the guy, and I was happy with that. But the universe taps you on your shoulder and you realize that there's more in store for you. It's kind of like The Karate Kid."
Pharrell will perform at this year's Brit Awards, which take place tomorrow (February 19) and will be broadcast live from 8pm on ITV.
