Adam Levine Covers 'The Hollywood Reporter'

Adam Levine shows off his bulging biceps on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s latest issue.

Here’s what the 33-year-old Maroon 5 front man had to share with the mag:

On how The Voice helped him: “The Voice was the first real job I’ve ever had that wasn’t just messing around with music. I don’t really know what happened, but it initiated some kind of mode in my brain. It put me on this trajectory, and I love it.”

On acting in Can a Song Save Your Life?: “I saw it the other day, and I was surprised at how not sh*tty I was. They’ll probably say that I’m a better actor than I am a singer or something. They’ll find some way to f�” me with something negative.”

On people’s perception of him since The Voice began airing: “No one knew what I was really like or whether I had anything to say. … I think that the occasional soccer mom probably thought I was a slut. The show put me in an interesting light to be cross-examined and analyzed by the world at large, and I think that I succeeded in making them like me.”
