Prince Almost Did a Netflix Reality Show About Paisley Park

Prince was a legendary man who donned many stylish hats: singer, instrumentalist, producer, actor, shade master. But there's one field he never got a chance to tackle, which is the wonderful world of reality television. In this incredible, in-depth GQ feature where the icon's closest friends share their stories, it's revealed Prince was in talks with Netflix for a reality show.

Maya Washington, a photographer who became friends with Prince in 2014 tells GQ:

"He was supposed to do something with Netflix, a reality show on Paisley Park. He's, 'Why don't you help me?' I'm, 'I'd love to, but you'd have to be in it.' And he's, 'No, no, no, I'm not in it.' I'm, 'Why not? You're so funny—why don't you want anyone to see your sense of humor?' And he would shut it down: 'Maya, I can't be funny. I have to save the world.'"
