'I was watching this thing the other day with Chappell saying she won't have photos with fans.
'I went through periods like that but now I never, ever say no to a photograph unless I am on the toilet.
'I say, 'What is the point of doing this unless you absolutely love it?' I don't mind if people come and say hi to me.
'But I am lucky because I have this Batman thing, I can put on a hat with a sweatshirt and get on the bus. Madonna and Elton John can't do that.'
Speaking on the Saturday Series podcast in US, George also opened up about the new Culture Club film and said it sheds light on his decision to not take part in the Live Aid concerts.
'The new documentary goes on about Live Aid and it makes it sound like it was the only thing that ever happened.
'Some acts seem so destroyed that they did not do Live Aid.
"I had no idea why they were obsessed.
"I knew it was the worst idea for me to appear on Live Aid.
'I did them a favour as I knew I was not well. I did not have any regrets not doing it.'

BEYONCE is keeping her stylist busy on the Cowboy Carter Tour by showing off another personally designed look.
She strutted her stuff in a denim leotard and chaps at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at the weekend, where she has been wowing the crowds.
The Texas Hold 'Em singer will play her last show there tomorrow before bringing the tour to London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for six nights from next Thursday.
She is regularly joined on stage by her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, and they are expected to continue that over in Blighty.
Hopefully they'll all leave as Spurs fans, just like me.
TOP GUN READY TO FLY AGAIN

A third instalment of Tom Cruise's Top Gun is in the works
FANS had to wait 36 years for a Top Gun sequel, but a third film is poised to take flight sooner than expected.
Filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie, who has worked on every Tom Cruise film since 2015's Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and was one of the writers of Top Gun: Maverick has revealed plans for the next instalment, teasing: 'It's in the bag.'
On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he said: 'I already know what it is. I thought it would be harder, and that's a good place to go from as you walk into the room going, 'Come on, what are we going to do?''
The 2022 flick Top Gun: Maverick made $1.5billion at the box office, so I can see why they're keen to get another one on screens.

They announced their surprise guest performance will be from YouTube, rapper and part-time boxer KSI. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . The performer was a guest judge during the audition stage of this year's series of the TV talent show. In fact he used his golden buzzer to send singer Stacey Leadbeatter straight through to the semi finals, and now she is progressing to the grand final this weekend. Fans have shared their excitement on social media, with one person saying "Omggggg yessssss!!!!" Another added: "That's awesome, can't wait to watch our KSI do his thing."

The moment prompted KSI to grant him a fast pass to the final with the coveted Golden Buzzer. This moment, however, was followed by nine year old dancing sensation Binita Chetry, whose performance captivated the nation. Viewers voiced their displeasure on social media with one tweeting their frustration that Binita didn't receive the Golden Buzzer: "Really p***es me off thst KSI would use his golden buzzer on a TALENTLESS completely staged act instead of on a 9 year old girl with a genuine gift #bgt."

Actor Stifyn Parri finds peace in his garden near Wrexham
Stifyn Parri, from Rhos, near Wrexham, now living in St Fagan's, Cardiff, finds solace in his garden. He shared his love for gardening with presenter Meinir Gwilym on S4C's series, Garddio a Mwy. The episode featuring Mr Parri will air at 8.25pm on Monday, June 2. The actor, who starred in Brookside, began posting pictures of his flowers during the pandemic to lift the spirits of "friends, family, and strangers." He said: "The reaction was so positive I took another photo the following day and I've been posting images on Instagram and Facebook every day since then. "They have become so popular if I haven't posted by eleven o'clock in the morning people have been known to phone up and check I'm alive and well." (Image: Supplied) Despite having no formal gardening training, Mr Parri enjoys experimenting in his garden. He said: "I love pottering in the garden. "I plant things intuitively and if they don't like where they're growing plants will let you know just the same as if they do like their spot." His garden, which backs onto woodland, is filled with seating areas, a barbecue area, and a hot tub. He said: "It isn't the largest garden but I've taken advice from Monty (Don) and created lots of areas. "I think lawns are a waste of time, and space." His favourite flower is Lunaria annua, commonly known as Honesty. He said: "I just love the simplicity of the flower. "It reminds me of home because just about every parlour in Rhosllannerchrugog during my childhood had a display of dried Honesty plants." Mr Parri began his acting career on S4C's Coleg and later joined Channel 4's Brookside as Christopher Duncan, where he made headlines with the first openly gay relationship on British TV. His theatre work includes starring as Marius in Les Misérables in the West End. In 2001, he set up an agency called MR PRODUCER and has produced some of Wales' most prominent live events. He also launched the Welsh ex-pat society, Social Welsh and Sexy (SWS). Two years ago, he presented his BAFTA-nominated documentary, Paid a Dweud Hoyw (Don't Say Gay) for S4C. Later this summer, Mr Parri will play a prominent part in the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham. Garddio a Mwy presenter Meinir Gwilym said: "It's a garden with character! "Not only is it full of colour and shapes and textures, the garden is also full of life - reflecting Stifyn perfectly." Series producer Euros Wyn added: "You don't need a degree in horticulture to enjoy some gardening, and I think that the series reflects that."

Brooklyn Beckham was 'very much man of the house' and Victoria 'relied on him'
Brooklyn Beckham was said to have been a real rock for Victoria Beckham, before met his now wife Nicola Peltz - but the dynamics have now changed, according to reports Victoria Beckham"relied on Brooklyn" and he became "very much man of the house" when his parents were experiencing marriage problems, an insider claimed. Brooklyn was reportedly his mum's rock throughout his childhood, a connection which jars with the tension-laden picture right now as the Beckhams feud continues to play out in public. The strain has become so deep for Victoria, 51, that she is said to have experienced sleepless nights recently. Throughout Victoria and David's well-documented marital troubles, it is understood Brooklyn, now 26, offered great support to his mother. Katie Hind, a journalist, told the Daily Mail's Beckham Breakdown: Inside the Family Feud on its YouTube page: "She really relied on Brooklyn and he was the man of the house and he very much lived up to that while David was away and I think at the time they were having difficulties in their marriage. They had moved back to London, David was away and Brooklyn was a real rock for her." The relationship has changed since Brooklyn, a former model, met Nicola Peltz in 2019 at Leonardo Di Caprio's Halloween party. They married three years later and, last month, Brooklyn and Nicola missed David's 50th birthday celebrations, which cast the spotlight on the family conflict. It is a huge contrast to Brooklyn and Victoria's bond when he grew up. It is said they were "absolutely inseparable," and Victoria even took her son to the Glamour Awards in 2013 when he was just 14. The latest installment of the Daily Mail's Entertainment YouTube show explores this relationship and its change over time. It highlights how the bitter feud had been kept secret until the birthday no-show, after which Brooklyn has expressed his love for Nicola, 30, in a gushing Instagram post. The aspiring chef wrote: "I always choose you baby, you're the most amazing person in the world, me and you forever baby." But hours after the post, Cruz, the Beckhams' youngest son waded in on the row for the first time by writing an Instagram post in support of his parents. The 20-year-old aspiring muscian penned: "I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives." When Brooklyn and Nicola went to a dinner party at a home in Montecito, California, they met Prince Harry, and the Duke of Sussex reportedly offered the couple his "unwavring support" in the row. This encounter is understood to have left former England captain David "absolutely furious" as he and Victoria hace had a feud with Harry and Meghan Markle in the past.
