Vanilla Ice remembers Loch Ness monster attack
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 27 January 2011
Best known for his starring role as John ‘Johnny’ Van Owen in the film ‘Cool As Ice’, as well as a bit of rapping and a Jedward collaboration, Vanilla Ice has been recalling the peak of his fame in the 90s when he went off the rails a bit.
Ice told Metro: “About eighteen years ago, I had a weekend that lasted a few days. I did the rock star thing. I was freaking out, I don’t know what my friend gave me but I piled fifteen pool loungers on top of each other and jumped off them into a swimming pool. I turned around and was convinced I saw the Loch Ness Monster behind me”.
He went on to discuss his pet kangaroo, which may or may not have been another drug story, I’m not really sure: “I’ve had him since he was a baby and now he’s five feet ten inches. He is spoiled rotten; he has his own enclosure and a female pot-bellied pig in there who is his lover. Kangaroos will hump anything. I think the pig likes it. There’s also a goat in there who he grew up with but they’re just friends”.
