Machine Gun Kelly Claims He Might Be Part Alien After Saying His Mom Was 'Abducted'

Pop-punk star Machine Gun Kelly has opened up about some unusual thoughts, suggesting he might actually have alien roots running through his family line.

During his appearance on the U.S. talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last weekend, the 35-year-old musician (born Colson Baker) started reflecting on his own identity after Cohen complimented him on how young he looked.

"It's a weird thing, dude. I don't know if my age... I don't know if it exists," he responded.

From there, the conversation turned to UFOs and extraterrestrials.

"I just don't know many facts about my life. Like my skin, if it rips open, it heals really quick," the singer revealed. "There's just things where I'm starting to be like, 'Who's my dad?'"

For the record, official accounts list MGK’s father as James Colson Baker. Born in Houston, Texas, to Christian missionary parents, he spent his childhood moving between countries such as Egypt—where he actually learned Arabic before English—Kenya, and Germany. Later, he lived in several U.S. states including Colorado and Ohio.

MGK has previously described his father in interviews as being “extremely religious and extremely strict,” even recalling that he wasn’t allowed to hold a pen the way he wanted to.

But these days, MGK is half-joking that maybe James Colson Baker wasn’t his father at all, and instead his DNA might connect him to another world entirely.

When Cohen directly asked whether he thought he might come from another planet, the rapper-turned-rocker 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?'"

"She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point."

Fans online didn’t quite know what to make of his claims, with one person commenting: "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 a affair with an extra terrestrial being. Beats saying you're in your 30s good God."

Another social media user joked: "He doesn't have a birth certificate? That would help."

Meanwhile, on a less cosmic note, MGK revealed he had turned down an audition for the vampire horror movie Sinners because of something he wasn’t willing to do.

The movie, which came out in April and went on to gross nearly $366 million worldwide, was set in 1932 and centered on twins Smoke and Stack, mobsters from Chicago who return to Mississippi to start a new life—only to encounter terrifying vampires.

The brothers’ dream of running a juke joint quickly collapses when vampires appear on opening night, turning their new venture into a nightmare.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show in July, MGK explained that he was expected to deliver a racial slur in his audition, which is why he pulled out of the process.

"Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that," he recalled. "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."

It seems he was referring to the KKK character who ended up being played by Peter Dreimanis, a role that later ties into the storyline with Irish vampire Remmick, portrayed by Jack O’Connell.

"I wouldn't [say the n-word]," MGK explained. "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."

Despite that, his ambitions in film have taken shape more than once, proving that he has managed to land several notable roles on the big screen.

In 2018, he played Felix in Netflix’s hugely popular thriller Bird Box. By 2020, he had also been credited in The King of Staten Island and Project Power, where he starred alongside big names like Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
