‘There are some big, strong men there,’ said the Blondie star. Debbie Harry has revealed that Home Depot is her chosen location for flirting with “big, strong men” who work in the garden department. The 79-year-old Blondie singer, who rose to fame in the Seventies with songs including “Rapture” and “One Way or Another”, made the admission while recalling a recent trip to Home Depot – the US equivalent of B&Q in the UK – where she saw a “really sexy” man and gave him a suggestive look.

Asked by the interviewer whether she got a chance to communicate with the Home Depot employee, she said: “No. We just sort of looked at each other and did that …”. Journalist Julia Llewelyn Smith then remarked that Harry gave her a look “that could spark forest fires”.

Harry continued: “Home Depot is where I do all my flirting. There are some big, strong men there.”. The “Heart of Glass” star is currently single, she confirmed. She was previously in a relationship with her former bandmate and co-writer Chris Stein; the pair split in 1987.
When asked by Llewelyn Smith whether she was in a relationship, Harry responded: “No! God forbid! I’m terrified. No, I’m kidding, but I don’t think [being in a relationship] is possible. Do you?”. Harry admitted she wasn’t sure how the opportunities would arise, but would perhaps consider online dating.
