I was quite surprised when I saw the new May cover of GQ and saw Derrick Rose on there. Rose has never been one to be very public and he definitely does not do many photo shoots. However, we get to see Rose out of his Chicago uniform and he looks great. It is definitely not the look I would expect him to rock, but nevertheless he looks like he could walk the runway [well maybe not, but he would look great posing with the NBA Championship trophy all over the country].
In the magazine, Rose stepped forward and said he was uncomfortable with his level of fame. “Sometimes it’s too much,” Rose told GQ Magazine in a story posted on its website Tuesday. “Chicago isn’t used to stardom. Back when Michael [Jordan] was here, everyone was used to actors and singers and people being at the games. But there’s been a drought since then, and even celebrities, they’ll stop here to film a movie and then pop right back out. They don’t know how to act toward celebrity. So I always have someone with me. I can have a hat on, glasses on, whatever. People still notice me. If I go outside without a hat on, I feel like I’m naked.”
