Akon is a big fan of Take That.
The R'n'B singer - who recently collaborated with rapper Snoop Dogg on 'I
Wanna Love You' - thinks the reformed boy band have talent and isn't
embarrassed to say it.
He said in an interview with Britain's Nuts magazine: "I'm sure everything I
listen to would surprise people. Right now, I'm listening to the new song by
Take That, and also Snow Patrol. I love all that s**t.
"I take influences from every kind of music, not just hip-hop."
Akon also revealed he wants to ride through the South African diamond mine
he owns in a cart - just like movie hero Indiana Jones.
When asked if he ever considered re-enacting the famous scene from 'Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom', he said: "It sounds fun - maybe I should give
it a try some day!"
Akon also has his own charity for underprivileged children in South Africa,
called United For Africa.
