Exclusive Interview: Mr. Boston from VH1's I Love New York
Millions watched at home as Tiffany "New York" Patterson got burned not once, but twice by the former Public Enemy hype-man, Flavor Flav in the VH1 reality show, Flavor of Love.
So when she came back in her own spin-off, I Love New York, Tiffany welcomed an array of bachelors to repair her broken heart. Each week, she eliminates a gentleman who she feels was not
up to par; including Lee Marks, or best known to his fans as Mr. Boston.
In this exclusive interview, Marks speaks to Associated Content about why he decided to audition for the show, who was the fakest in the house and how he really felt about New York.
Before the Lovin'
AC: Where are you originally from?
Marks: Acton, MA, which is a small town outside of Boston. Ironically, it's the same town that one of my comic idols grew up in, Steve Carell.
AC: How many siblings?
Marks: My twin brother and an older sister, who's 28. We all currently live in Los Angeles.
AC: Where did you go to school?
Marks: I graduated from Bentley College in Massachusetts, which is a small business school.
AC: Before the show, what were you doing?
Marks: Working accounting in Boston.
AC: Any hobbies?
Marks: I used to play a lot of tennis, but now I'm trying to get into weightlifting so I can win a rematch with Chance in the boxing ring.
AC: Favorite genre of music? Singers/groups?
Marks: I love disco from the 70's. I'm not sure why, considering no one else I know listens to it, but for some reason as soon as I first heard it on the radio as a little kid, I just fell in love with the music. Bee Gees, Trammps, Donna Summer, Chic, Sister Sledge, I love all those artists.
AC: Hidden talents?
Marks: Pretty much nothing except being myself. People say they've never met anyone like me, which makes me unique, so that's what I consider my hidden talent.
AC: What was your reputation with the ladies before the show?
Marks: Definitely not as good as it is now. Only the girls who liked the dorky white guys were into me. The show has now helped me attract a lot of new females, which I'm not complaining about.
