During his exclusive interview with OXM, the issue is raised over Cliff Bleszinski's love-him-or-hate-him public persona and in particular, his apparent love for the spotlight.
"There's that photo of me with the red shirt on, holding the Lancer chainsaw? That was originally going to be for that Rolling Stone issue," he explains. "We took that picture like a year ago. And people said, "Cliffy needs to stop doing photo shoots and be more focused on the games!" It's like, dude - that was me grabbing Aaron Smith at work and going outside for five minutes and taking two f**king photos.
"What did you think, it was like four hours of makeup and stylists and hookers and blow all day long? If I'm not there working with the guys, I start going crazy. The criticism is what it is; you can't put yourself out there and not expect a little bit of flack."
When asked if he is a giant douchebag, Bleszinski jokingly replies "I'm a giant douchebag."
