Pop star Benson Boone has opened up about a pretty embarrassing moment he experienced while in the bathroom. As reported by People, it somehow involved his friends, a "private" bathroom, and an unsuspecting fan.
He opened up about his "accidentally unfiltered" story on a recent episode of the Life Uncut Podcast. He was performing at an amphitheater years before his song "Beautiful Things" catapulted him into fame. "It was a really big deal to me," he recalled.
But the show, which was the start of his tour, came with a pretty weird caveat. "Backstage, I didn't have a bathroom for some reason." He wasn't aware of that fact until the night of the show—of course, being the headliner, sharing a bathroom with fans doesn't sound like the most ideal situation.
He was there with his friends, too, who liked to play pranks on him. But, in order for the situation to make sense, he had to give a little context. When they were kids, they used to take their pants off entirely while using urinals.
He recalled it as "funny, 'cause like you have to take your pants all the way off and get them all the way back up before someone outside comes in because, if someone comes in and catches you doing that, you know, it's really awkward and funny-looking."

Some Nostalgia Was in Store for the Pop Star That Night
And they decided that doing that all over again was the best course of action... in a bathroom... shared with fans... Yeah, you can see exactly where this is going, can't you?
Well, you can't blame them that much—according to the pop star, they thought the bathroom was private. "I walk in there, drop the drawers," he recalls. "They are fully at my ankles—and I have started taking the p***. So once you start, you can't stop, or it hurts."
And then, the door swings open—but he thinks it's one of his friends. "It wasn't," he explained. The fan recognized him, and then he asked if he was going to the show. "And he goes 'Yeah'. And I was like, 'What are you doing back here?' And he's like, 'Uh, this is the bathroom.'... It was so awkward, I was horrified. Luckily, great guy, he was super cool."
