Adam Levine has recalled how he was once kicked out of a nightclub as young man.

During an interview for the Hot Ones series that aired on Thursday, host Sean Evans asked the Maroon 5 frontman whether he had ever been bounced from a venue.

While trying an array of chicken wings covered in hot sauces, Adam recounted a particularly heated moment that occurred at a bar on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

"Wow, bro, you're blowing my mind. That's the coolest question anyone's ever asked," he began. "There was one time where I got kicked out of a place when someone said something really nasty to a friend of mine. It was really ugly what they said. I don't remember that much other than confronting the dude. It was this big guy, too. He was too big for me. But I had had some drinks, so I was feeling brave."

Adam remembered how he "got up in (the man's) face".

But before the This Love singer could "do or say much", he felt himself being carried towards the exit.

"All of a sudden, I felt my whole body getting slung over a shoulder of a larger man who was a security guard, and I got thrown out of this club so fast. I was like, 'What just happened?' And the guy was like, 'Well, the person that you're confronting, he owns the club.' So, that's why that happened," the 46-year-old laughed.

Adam is currently promoting Maroon 5's upcoming eighth studio album, Love Is Like.

The project is set to drop on 15 August.
