John Mayer Says Dating Love Hewitt Was An Awful Thing

Sonia Murray of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution chatted with John Mayer on his short-lived relationship with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Even though he doesn’t read books or watch movies, he did know who Jennifer was. “Come on now, I’m still a guy!” he laughs. “And may I say that was an awful thing. No, not the nature of the relationship, but the experience of living that in front of everybody. You know, you meet somebody and they automatically become normal to you. That’s how she was. Naive as it sounds, I didn’t feel like I was spending time with someone who was a movie star until, ‘Wait, there’s People magazine snapping pictures!’”
