- Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea is a father for the third time.
- He and his wife welcomed their first child on Dec. 12.
- Flea also stars in the Damien Chazelle-directed film, “La La Land”.
Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea exclusively revealed to E! News that he and his fashion designer wife Melody Ehsani welcomed their first child together on Dec. 12. The rock musician expressed his happiness about the newest member of his family to Erin Lim Rhodes of The Rundown, saying, “I’m very delighted.”
“I haven’t been doing a lot of sleeping,” the 60-year-old joked, “but I’ve been doing a lot of floating on a cloud of love.” Now a father-of-three, Flea also shares daughter Clara Balzary, 34, with ex-wife Loesha Zeviar, as well as daughter Sunny Bebop Balzary, 17, with ex Frankie Rayder.
Flea talked on filming the Damien Chazelle-directed film, in which he plays Bob Levine, including a “wild” party sequence that required 12 days to shoot, at the Babylon premiere.
“It was wild to just be in a room like that for a long period of time with a lot of naked people,” he shared. “It was assistant directors and Damien just going crazy and naked people everywhere. They really let a bacchanal happen and captured it on film, so it was cool to see.”
Who would he invite to a 12-day celebration? I suppose in a circumstance like that, I might want to be quite close to my wife, he said to Erin.
But when asked what he would offer to such a spectacle, he gives a very astute response.
“I’m bringing a room with a lock that I can go in it and go away from the party,” said the star. “I can barely handle a party for more than two hours. But no, it was awesome.”
Flea said that he is “so delighted” to be a part of the Golden Globe-nominated project, in large part because of the movie’s Academy Award-winning director.
“So often these days, films are packaged into these tight, little boxes to be these sellable things,” Flea stated, “and Damien Chazelle is willing to make a giant, sprawling, epic of a thing and following his vision, come what may. And the fact that the universe allowed him to do it is a beautiful thing.”
