Verlander Rocks $3,000 Suits, Talks Kate Upton, Nude Photo Scandal In New Forbes Interview And Photo Spread

By Christy Strawser

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) We've seen Justin Verlander looking cover-worthy in dapper threads with slicked-back hair.

But we've never seen him rocking that look while talking about his lady love, the swimsuit supermodel Kate Upton. In fact, Verlander rarely mentions her at all, except in a few social media glimpses into their rarefied world.

In a new spread in Forbes Magazine, though, Verlander goes places he doesn't usually enter (like the strike zone these days, haters could say.)

See the ENTIRE INTERVIEW here.

Seriously, he talks about his car collection, which includes an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and more. "I want to keep them and start a collection and have a barn full of cars all day," he tells the magazine.

Piling on the swagger, he talks about how he "matches his Breguet watch with a specific suit."

And he really, really goes there when the mag asked about the infamous nude photos of himself and Upton that leaked during a massive celebrity phone hack.

"I grinded through it," he tells the interviewer, adding:

"Kate's there a lot for me," he says of their relationship. "And we're just normal people. You know, normal relationship–believe it or not."

So, what's his goal for the future? Getting back fully from his latest injury, leading the Tigers to victory, nabbing a World Series ring? Probably.

But what he really, really wants to do, it turns out, is host "Saturday Night Live."
