Lionel Richie Said King Charles Is a ‘Secret Comedian’ And Has An ‘Amazing Sense of Humor’
The “Say You, Say Me” singer recently revealed that the newly crowned King, King Charles III, has a hidden talent for comedy. This means we have a King with a great “Sense of humor,” and this calls for a celebration.
So, in a recent appearance at “Extra,” the 73-year-old musician told the outlet on Monday that he discovered King Charles’ comedic skills the day the king made his first-ever appearance on “American Idol” with his wife Queen Camilla.
Richie said, “I’ve known the King quite a long time. He does have this amazing sense of humor that no one knows about. He’s a secret comedian. For him to actually take the step and go out of the comfort zone — which was actually his comfort zone — he was hamming it up.”
