CHRIS GOES MACHO

- Alec Hailey Baldwin Justin Bieber

MADONNA inspired Christine & The Queens to bring out her masculine side.

French star Hélöise Letissier, aka Christine, has adopted a new persona for brilliant new album Chris.

The star, who jumped on stage with Madonna during her Rebel Heart tour, cut her hair just like her heroine.

She said: “I wanted an album more sexual and about desire.

“Madonna’s presence in the 90s was quite macho but still feminine, she superimpos­ed contradict­ory things – that was very inspiring.

“All the male pop stars I adore are all very sexual, even Michael Jackson and The Weeknd. They write about desire and that interested me but I wanted it from the point of view of a woman.”

You could call it an identity Chris-is but the look has given her confidence.

She agreed: “There’s a liberation in cutting your hair, wearing a vest and exposing my muscles.”

Naturally people are even more confused what to call her – is it Hélöise, Christine or Chris?

She laughed: “It’s disorder, it’s perfect. I don’t know either... Chris is probably my favourite because it’s short and you can call it to me anywhere.”

Off stage Chris is nothing like her stage persona: “I can disappear completely, I’m very shy.

“People don’t recognise me, I pass for a young fragile French student.” HAS uncle slip that niece and are married?

The actor insisted the pair ran off to tie the knot despite Hailey denying the story and JB still ringless. Alec said: “They went off and got married and I don’t know what the deal is!” Meanwhile, the model says she uses a moisturise­r infused with her own blood, adding: “It works!”
