Ringo Starr has never eaten pizza. I repeat: RINGO STARR HAS NEVER EATEN PIZZA! The revelation came during a recent visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! The interview began with a discussion about Starr's new country album, Look Up and his recent reunion with Paul McCartney, then Kimmel asked the Beatles star to confirm or deny some rumors he'd heard about him, including that he's never tasted pizza.
When Starr confirmed, the audience let out an audible gasp. “I’m allergic to several items,” he explained. “With pizza, you don’t know what you’re putting in it half the time. And curry! I’m strict with myself since it makes me ill immediately.”
“I used to think you had the greatest life, and now I realize mine is better,” Kimmel joked.
“Yours is better because you’ve had a pizza,” Ringo quipped back.
