AceShowbiz - Trevor Noah couldn't care less about the label people put on him. Despite being called a "loser" for being single at 40, the former host of "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" said "it doesn't bother me at all."
"Society has deemed me a loser whether I like it or not," the South African native said in the Thursday, May 2 episode of his "What Now?" podcast. "Being married is like you've served."
"There's a certain honor that comes with it," the comedian continued. "If you've never been married, there's this weird thing that people do to you where they treat you like you're not a serious person in life."
Trevor added that there's "a little bit of ostracization" against those who aren't in romantic relationships when they reach a certain age. "So many things in society that are based around the plus-ones," he explained, claiming that he's been denied bringing a friend to events where others with spouses were allowed to attend together.
"I'm like, 'This idiot got married six months ago,' he recalled. " 'They don't even know this person and you're going to tell me that I can't come with my best friend, who I can tell you every intimate detail about?' "
Trevor, who was previously linked to Minka Kelly and Dua Lipa, opined that marriage isn't necessarily proof of a strong connection between two people. Instead, he believes that sometimes "the most significant others in your life are your friends."
"There's something romantic in this idea that we should be diversifying the portfolio of our emotions," the comic continued. "Sometimes they yield benefits, and sometimes they add value to my holdings... Obviously, there is no one way to live life."
