Akon Forgets His Age

Akon has revealed he is completely unsure how old he really is.

Bizarrely the Senegalese singer says he doesnt want to know his age- telling a reporter: All it's going to do is depress me.

Previous reports have estimated that the Smack That star is between 25 and 35. He now says hes scared of growing up.

Akon told AP: "I don't want to know I'm getting older. Then I'll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don't want that. In Africa ... age is not important over there. They don't care. People only focus on it here (America) and in Europe."

He added: "I feel like I'm 21 right now And I'll be 21 for the next 10 years!
