NEWSLuke Bryan Reveals Why His Eyes Sometimes Look Red, Clarifies He's Not 'Smoking Pot'
Luke Bryan will continue pursuing his passion for fishing even if it kills him!
In a new interview, the star noted that despite his love for the activity, he's actually allergic to several sea critters.
Avid fisher Luke Bryan dished on his unfortunate allergy to bass.
"Just so we know, if I do interviews and I look like I’ve been smoking pot, that’s not true," he explained. "I’ve been catching bass."
"If I touch a bass, my eyes will get red, my hands will swell if I have to take the hook out. I’ll get in front of it. I’m like, 'I know I’m going to fish today,' so I’ll take an Allegra in the morning," he explained.
The singer clarified that if his eyes are red, it's from his allergy — not marijuana.
The American Idol judge, 47, admitted he "spent years not knowing" about his allergy, which he and his family originally thought was to trees.
"My dad would take me on these fishing trips, and I would be in the back of the boat wheezing, maybe in need of an EpiPen," he recalled, adding his father would tell him to just suck it up.

Elsewhere in his interview, the singer discussed Katy Perry's February announcement that this will be her last season on American Idol.

The country star admitted he wasn't surprised that Katy Perry is leaving 'American Idol.'
"When I took the Idol gig, I knew that she had already signed up to do it and I didn’t know her," the star continued of joining in 2018. "Seven years later, to have spent so much time with her has been pretty awesome. She’s a trip."
