You can’t scan a radio station without hearing Robin Thicke’s “Song of the Summer” Blurred Lines. You can’t think about the MTV VMAS without having an image of Thicke in a striped suit being subjected to Miley Cyrus’ twerking. And you can’t find a high profile red carpet where this perfect pair is not present.
It’s safe to say that Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are the “it” couple of the moment, and the pair is being celebrated on the latest cover of Prestige Magazine.
The Hong Kong based magazine interviewed the pair about everything from relationships to parenthood, and of course set the actress and singer up for a star worthy photoshoot. Check out some snaps from the shoot and excerpts from the interview below.
How much influence do you have over each other’s talent?
PP: A lot. Robin got me ready for every single acting audition I’ve ever done. We read lines together when I’m working on movies. He’s my coach. I listen to every song he writes and help however I can, and I’ve written songs with him.
RT: Our product – what ends up being seen and heard – Paula is way more involved in mine than I am in hers. I help a little bit, give some notes and encourage, do whatever I can. But my music…she’s the first one to hear almost every song that I write and many times before it’s even finished being written. She helps me with my art direction and my album covers and my videos and my wardrobe, and she is really the good taste of the family [laughs]. I just keep working hard and hoping I get lucky.
Has parenthood changed you?
RT: In every single way. My son is my good-luck charm; he’s made me not think about myself all day long. All of a sudden he shows up with his beautiful smile and perfect energy and makes me go, “Ah, forget my little problems.” He’s an amazing child.
Back in the day you were known for your long locks. Why did you cut your hair?
RT: Actually the question is, “Why did you grow your hair?” When I was 22 and decided to dedicate all my time to my own music, I told myself I wouldn’t cut my hair until I heard my songs on the radio. Then when I heard my song on the radio, I cut my hair.
