Ringo Starr Just Confirmed A Bizarre Rumor That He's Never Eaten Pizza—But For Good Reason

Ringo Starr shared a startling revelation about never experiencing an indulgence that many of us enjoy: pizza.

That's right. The famed drummer for legendary UK rock band The Beatles dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his new country album Look Up and talk about how his iconic band is still going strong with two Grammy nominations this year.

While fans think they may know everything about the Fab Four, Starr never having eaten pizza proved we still learn something new every day.

Kimmel mentioned having "a lot of stories" about Starr and he asked if the musician could confirm the veracity of some of the rumors and expound on them.

The first rumor Kimmel brought up was, "Is it true you've never eaten pizza?"

The 84-year-old Modern Drummer Hall of Famer replied:

“I’ve never had a pizza… never had a pizza.”

There were some shocked reactions from the studio audience, including one who was heard gasping, "What???"

He continued to dish about the fact that he also never had "a curry."

As jaw-dropping as it sounds, it makes sense as it applies to him.

“I’m allergic to several items," Starr explained, "and with pizza, you don’t know what you’re putting in it half the time. Or the curry."

"So I’m pretty strict with myself because it makes me ill immediately.”

People felt bad that he was missing out on partaking in a popular guilty pleasure.

Starr's pizza aversion tracks.

In 1995, he appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial featured alongside the American music group The Monkees.

Though he does hold a slice of pizza in his hand, Starr never takes a bite, unlike his hungry musician friends standing next to him.

Here's the commercial.

As a child, Starr was dealt with a series of life-threatening illnesses and spent the majority of his childhood in and out of hospitals.

He developed appendicitis at the age of six, fell into a coma for several days after contracting peritonitis from a routine appendectomy, and spent two years in a sanitorium after contracting tuberculosis in 1953.

It was the latter experience where he first developed an interest in music.

The sanitorium's medical staff tried to improve patients' motor skills and relieve boredom by encouraging them to join the hospital band.

He was given a makeshift mallet to strike cabinets next to his bed, giving him his first taste of percussion instruments.

The rest, as they say, is history.
