Ariana Grande: 'My mom thought I might grow up to be a serial killer'

'Problem' songstress Ariana Grande has revealed that she was always drawn to dark things as a child, which caused her family to worry about her mental state.

During a new interview with Billboard magazine, Grande confessed that her mother began to worry about the direction her future might take when she chose to have a Jaws-themed birthday party, which made her friends cry:

"For my fifth birthday party we had a Jaws theme and all my friends left crying. I mean, I still am that way. But when I was little it was more concerning."

"There was a stage, when I was 3 or 4, where my mom thought I might grow up to be a serial killer. I always wanted to have skeleton face paint on or be wearing a Freddy Krueger mask, and I would carry a hockey stick around. I was like a mini-Helena Bonham Carter."

Grande, meanwhile, spoke to Nova FM earlier this week and talked about One Direction's Harry Styles, who wrote the song 'A Little Bit of Your Heart' for her upcoming album 'My Everything', and described him as 'really sweet': "No! No, definitely not, he's a very, very sweet boy."
