Singer The Weekend knows girls only want him because he’s famous.

The Weekend’s star has continued to soar after his debut album Kiss Land in 2013 and so has he become almost as famous for his beautiful girlfriends including Bella Hadid and rumoured new squeeze Selena Gomez.

But The Weekend, real name Abel Tesfaye, is under no illusions about his pulling power, and knows it’s all to do with his career choice.

“Listen, I’m not walking around like f**king Idris Elba, know what I mean?” he told America’s GQ. “It’s like (points at himself) you’ll probably describe me in this f**king thing. I’m not–look at me, this is who I am. I’m not gonna walk into the club and be like, ‘Oh s**t, I’m the sexiest guy in here.’

“The reason why they want to f**k with me is because of what I do (in the studio). So I’d rather just focus on doing that.”

The 26-year-old released his third album, Starboy, in November, and it went straight to the top of the U.S. charts, as well as hitting number one in Canada, Australia and Sweden, among other countries.
