Calvin Harris Shares His 'Primal Diet' Which Sees Him Eating Animal Balls
Calvin Harris has opened up about his unusual carnivorous diet, which includes chowing down on bone marrow and liver.
The Scottish DJ says he is feeling re-energised after ditching a ‘fruitarian raw vegan thing’ in favour of something a lot more meaty.
The 38-year-old told Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Radio show: "You know, I lost the ‘f**k you’ juice for a couple years. I did lose it.
"I don't know how I got it back, I think it was when I started eating bone marrow again and liver.

"And it just all came rushing back as soon as I ate those bones and got those amazing fats in my body."
He added: "And then I felt energised enough through my primal diet."
Fair enough.
He also said he has been encouraging those he collaborated with on his latest album to adopt a similar diet.
Harris continued: "With this I'm putting artists in different places and moving it around. So much liver got consumed to get to this point.
"I was on more of a fruitarian raw vegan thing. I came out of that and went full carnivore, like the Texan, 'why eat vegetables when you can have testicles' kind of f**king thing, y'know, and this is the product of that.
"I got Charlie Puth taking crushed-up ants from China to get him hype and he sounded like Michael McDonald [Doobie Brothers singer] on this record. This is what's going on.
"I harnessed the power of the ants and he sounded exactly like Michael McDonald in 1982.
"My new attitude is: 'Let's have a laugh'."
Harris has recently teamed up with London-based star Dua Lipa alongside Young Thug for a new track titled 'Potion'.
The pair have previously worked together on 2018 hit 'One Kiss', and Harris has poured praise on the singer.
"When I want to work with someone it's because I think they have a unique voice or something that sort of speaks to me and I think, 'Oh, I could do something with this or something really good could come out of it' and she's one of those people,” he explained.
"It's a mixture between that and just someone that I get on with, that I know I'm going to have a nice time in the studio with ... I want to have a good time, I don't want to have any stressful, awkward experiences with people and I want to work with people that give me joy and pleasure in the hope that I can give that back to them as well and we can just have a great time, you know?"
