Pop-punk artist Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) has once again sparked headlines—this time not for his music or movie roles, but for a bizarre revelation about his family and possible extraterrestrial roots.

While appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last weekend, the 35-year-old began reflecting on his life after Cohen complimented his seemingly ageless appearance. That’s when things took an unexpected turn.

“It’s a weird thing, dude. I don’t know if my age… I don’t know if it exists,” MGK mused, before steering the conversation into UFO territory.

The star admitted that parts of his life feel like a mystery, and his body even behaves strangely: “I just don’t know many facts about my life. Like my skin, if it rips open, it heals really quick. There’s just things where I’m starting to be like, ‘Who’s my dad?’”

From Missionary Roots to Alien Questions

Conventional wisdom—and every biography—says MGK’s father was James Colson Baker. Born in Houston, Texas to two Christian missionaries, young Colson spent much of his childhood abroad, living in Egypt, Kenya, and Germany before returning to the United States and bouncing between Denver and Ohio.

He previously told Interview magazine that his father was “extremely religious and extremely strict, and wouldn’t even let me hold my pen the way I wanted to hold my pen.”

But now MGK is hinting that perhaps James Baker wasn’t his biological father at all. When asked directly by Cohen if he thought he might be from another planet, the rapper replied: “Yeah, I’ve asked my mom, ‘Was there any period of time you went missing, like off the Earth? Was there ever like a tall slender creature?’”

Her reply only deepened the mystery. “She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point,” MGK revealed.

Fans React: Confusion, Jokes, and Memes

Naturally, social media erupted with disbelief and humor. One fan quipped: “The next time someone asks me my age I’m gonna straight up say I don’t know. My mama may or may not have had an affair with an extra-terrestrial being. Beats saying you’re in your 30s good God.”

Another joked: “He doesn’t have a birth certificate? That would help.”

The internet may be laughing, but MGK’s comments have reignited conversations about celebrity encounters with the paranormal—joining the likes of Demi Lovato and Kesha, who have also publicly discussed UFOs and alien experiences.

Turning Down Hollywood… for the Right Reasons

In more earthbound matters, MGK also revealed he had turned down a role in the hit period vampire horror film Sinners. The April release, which grossed nearly $366 million worldwide, follows two mobster twins in 1932 Mississippi who accidentally unleash a pack of vampires at their new music venue.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show in July, MGK said he backed out of auditions because the casting required him to recite a racial slur. “Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that,” he explained. “The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition—it’s the one that’s in the house, so he’s the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family. I wouldn’t [say the n-word]. I have a lot of aspirations to be in movies, it just hasn’t panned out that way. It’ll align. The angels will put something in the works.”

The role eventually went to Peter Dreimanis, whose character is turned by an Irish bloodsucker played by Jack O’Connell.

A Foot Already in Hollywood

Despite that lost opportunity, MGK isn’t exactly struggling to find acting gigs. He made his mark in Netflix’s 2018 thriller Bird Box, appeared in Judd Apatow’s The King of Staten Island in 2020, and shared the screen with Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the sci-fi action flick Project Power the same year.

Whether he’s an alien, a vampire reject, or just a genre-bending rock star with a flair for the dramatic, one thing is certain: Machine Gun Kelly knows how to keep people talking.
