His honesty is honestly one of our favorite, most wonderful things about him.ģ. He will give you an honest (albeit sometimes a little stretched to hype us) answer about almost anything.ĪJ has also been very open about his life, his highs and his lows, his life as a single child, his life before Backstreet and his life in almost every stage in order to inspire others and make them feel a little less alone in the world. What a softie!Įveryone knows that if you want to know something, AJ is the one to ask. When he’s home, he can be found with his girls, being the sweetest dad he can be. On almost every Backstreet cruise, you can find him forming a selfie line that lasts until the early hours of the morning. He can strike up a conversation with anyone, he does what he can to make everyone in his presence feel special, and his heart is in everything he does. He may have more tattoos than you can count and wear chains on occasion, but AJ is one of the most warm hearted people you could meet. You can have tattoos and still have one of the biggest hearts on the planet.īranded as “the bad boy” in the early days of Backstreet, AJ McLean is anything but. It seems like just yesterday AJ was celebrating was turning 40 with an epic prom-themed surprise party thrown by his wife! In reality though, it was almost 365 days ago and here we are, celebrating the most eccentric of the Backstreet Boys once again (not that we mind).Īs we did with Kevin and Howie, we’re celebrating by talking about the more valuable things that we’ve learned from AJ… without him even knowing it.ġ.
