The Weeknd on the cover of GQ, February 2017.

The Weeknd covers the February 2016 issue of 'GQ' magazine, styled in new season looks from the likes of Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang, Dior Homme, Burberry, Prada, and Emporio Armani.

On moving out of home at 17: "It was so scary, man. If I had been living in L.A., and it was like, ‘Hollywood, here I come…’? But it’s different. I wasn’t even from Toronto. And even making it from Toronto—this is before Drake and everything—it’s not really a believable, realistic thing. I don’t think I did it to make it. I don’t think I was like, ‘I’m leaving. I’m going to go become a star.’ It was more like, ‘I need to get the fuck out of here and live another life.’ You know? Be somebody else. Not a star, just someone else."

On his fear of marriage: "I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids. Marriage is scary to me, man."
