Video - Greyson Chance talks about his Asian Tour Experience – Says He HATES Durian

Greyson talks about his Asian tour and durian!

Greyson Chance had the room laughing last week in KK (Kota Kinabalu) during an interview with Breeze Magazine when he was asked about what he thought of his first true experience with Asian food.

The entire room erupted in laughs when Greyson started talking about trying durian – the look on his face is priceless!

Greyson decides not all food is worth eating!

For those who don’t know what durian is, it is considered Southeast Asia’s “King of Fruit” but has an odor that you either love or hate.

The edible flesh produces a distinctive odor, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive.

The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described by some as smelling like almonds, rotten onions, turpentine, and gym socks.

The odor is so foul that it has been banned from some hotels and public transportation throughout Southeast Asia and some people will not allow the fruit to be brought into their homes.

Greyson did say that he loved the chili sauce and that overall he loves Asian food. We suspect his team knew he would not like the durian but got him to try it anyway just so they could see his face!



Greyson is now in the Philippines for two special concert showcases and then will head out for Jakarta Indonesia before heading back to the United States for Christmas.
