Dave Grohl got his wife `totally drunk` when they first met

The 42-year-old rocker met his wife Jordyn in a bar and they later married in 2003 and went on to have two daughters - Violet and Harper.

He said to UK's Elle magazine: 'When I met her, I was wearing disgusting shorts and a T-shirt. I'd met up with a friend in this bar on Sunset, where all the waitresses wear little bunny outfits.

'I didn't really want to go, but he was seeing one of the bunny girls. So we went in and sat down, and these totally hot chicks appear, like a vision - my friend's date and her friend.

'They didn't really want to talk to me, probably because I looked gross, so I did what any man in my position would have done: I got them totally drunk.

'In the end, I wound up writing 'You're my future ex-wife' with my number on a piece of paper and giving it to Jordyn. So far, so cute, what happened next?

'We started to see each other but then I got a bit freaked out by being in a relationship and stopped calling. Not so cute. Anyway, we went on tour and our drummer overdosed. It was bad. Really bad.'

He added: 'And it made me put things into perspective. When we got back to LA, I called her up and said: 'Let's go for a drink.' Just to wind me up, she appeared wearing a wedding ring... and we've been together ever since.'
