Gen Z pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has no real interest in courting would-be astronauts.
Throughout a recent interview with Netflix, the 21-year-old star revealed a “very oddly particular query that I ask guys on first dates.”
“I at all times ask them if they might need to go to area,” she mentioned. “And if they are saying sure, I do not date them.”
“I simply assume if you wish to go to area, you’re a bit too stuffed with your self,” Rodrigo defined.
